Picture this... you’ve just come home after a long day at work, you might have been going hard at the gym or out doing errands all day. You’ve barely made it through the front door when bam! You've got company. Now, even though you don’t mind the company, you’re exhausted and would love nothing more than to take your shoes off and kick your feet up but let’s face it- you’d rather endure the aching feet because it would truly be a disservice for anyone, and we mean anyone, to smell those shoes.
Before you read any further- calm down, we’ve all been there and we’re here to help you, not judge (#safespace).
That being said, this is no way to live your life. Life is short! You shouldn’t have to spend it hiding your sore feet just because your shoes smell.
No, it’s not because you were singlehandedly selected from the masses at birth and cursed with feet so funky they can burn nose hairs off- though it would be pretty hilarious if you were.
We digress.
There is an actual scientific explanation for this issue.
The cause of shoe odor can be narrowed down a pain called sweat.
As we’re constantly on our feet, it’s only natural that they produce sweat, and create a warm moist stinky situation.
Since there’s no logical way to completely stop your feet from sweating in your shoes, what do you do? You try to control it.
But how??
You’re exasperated. You’ve ditched the tight shoes, you’ve stopped the triple sock wearing, and have been exfoliating like nobody’s business. But someway, somehow, your feet still smell. Maybe it’s that you don’t want to be bothered with any of those methods and want something that requires the least effort possible. Whatever it is, dont despair, we’ve got you covered!
