Got sweaty, stinky feet after work? Here's why and how to prevent it!
There aren't many things worse than taking off your shoes around other people and knowing your feet are going to stink.
So why do your shoes smell so bad?
The main cause of smelly feet is bacteria. Bacteria love nothing more than nestling down in a warm sweaty shoe; it's the perfect environment for them.
The bacteria in your shoes, socks, and on your feet will start feasting on dead skin cells and oils from your skin. They will then turn around and excrete waste in the form of acid and sulfur compounds. This is what really causes the smell.
