This common physical phenomenon is essential, but can lead to unpleasant odors at feet level.

Although usually odorless, the sweat held in your socks and shoes creates a warm and wet environment favorable to the growth of germs.  The stench is in fact the result of this microbial growth. Here are some tips that will allow your feet to smell good :

• Wash your feet daily.
• Make sure to always keep your feet dry. (footwear and socks)
• Wipe not only your feet, but also between your toes.  
• Avoid synthetic materials when choosing your socks.
• In order to control moisture, use products sold in pharmacy. (powder, deodorant, etc.)

In some cases, it is essential to use aluminum chloride products to control sweating.  In this case, an evaluation with your podiatrist will ensure to properly target your need, while advising you carefully about the treatment required.

Enjoy the beautiful season !
