What to do if your feet smell from shoes

The term "Hong Kong foot" is familiar to many friends, but some young friends do not know its meaning and usually misunderstand it as that the person is from Hong Kong. In fact, the real meaning is not like this. The real meaning of "athlete's foot" is that some people have unbearable foot odor due to many reasons, so they call it "athlete's foot". There are many such examples in reality.

However, a person's foot odor may be caused by many reasons, such as bacterial infection and viral invasion, which can cause a person's foot odor. In fact, most of the foot odor we see in life is caused by non-breathable shoes. So what should we do about the problem of smelly feet due to shoes?

Shoes make your feet smell bad because of excessive sweating on the soles of your feet. There are about 620 sweat glands per square centimeter on the soles of the feet. The other parts of the body have the same area of ​​only 143 to 339 sweat glands, which means that the palms and soles of the feet have several times more sweat glands than other parts of the body. When people become more active, the weather is hot, they are nervous, or they eat spicy or hot food, they will sweat a lot. In addition to water and salt, sweat also contains lactic acid and urea. Under conditions of excessive sweating, the bacteria on the feet multiply and decompose keratin, which, together with the urea and lactic acid in the sweat, produces a foul odor. If you wear tightly covered hiking shoes, sneakers, or leather shoes, and there is no air circulation, the odor will become stronger and stronger. Once you loosen your shoelaces, the odor will hit you in the face. . Secondly, what should I do if my shoes smell bad? How to solve the problem of smelly shoes and feet?
