Seven Tricks To Avoid Bad Odour In Your Shoes
Your two feet has the most sweat glands than anywhere in your body. So when the bacteria break down the sweat, it can lead to embarrassing stinky feet. And this sweat is absorbed directly by your shoes or socks making your shoes to stink. Here are some handfuls of tips that can help you prevent bad odour in your shoes.
Rotate the shoes you wear • This is a trick you often come across when it comes to taking care of your shoes and expanding their lifespan, but it is equally applicable when you want to eliminate bad odour from the shoes. • Remember, your feet sweat a lot? When you wear the same shoes for more than 8 hours for multiple days in a row, they don’t get any chance to dry or air out. • As you where it on a daily purpose, you just keep on adding moisture, making it to stink. • So always give your shoes a day or even two to let it dry or air out.
Throw your shoes in the washer • Canvas and fabric shoes can usually be cleaned in your clothes washer but before putting it in be assured by reading the tag or you can Google the details of your shoes. • A gentle cycle of cool water is what that is always recommended. But do not dry them in the dryer, as it may cause them to racket and destroy the shoes. • If possible, after washing them in the machine, you can take them out, stuff some old newspaper and change when it shrinks. • Or else you can simply place them under the sun, as it will dry and also kill the bacteria.
Maintain a foot care routine
• Stinky shoes start with stinky feet. Wash your feet every day, without any fail as you use your top deodorant for men. • Just holding your feet against flowing water may not be of much help so if possible wash it with soap and dry it with a clean cloth. • With pumice stone, exfoliate the bottom of your feet and also the heel as they are the epic centres of calloused crevasses in which bacteria are likely to hide. • After shower, apply some antibacterial lotion from your men’s grooming products collection to your feet. A good foot care routine can save you from stinky shoes.
Maintain a shoe care routine • In addition to rotating shoes, make sure to clean them properly before wearing it again. • After wearing them for a long day, be sure to give them a sweep of an antibacterial wipe from your men’s grooming products collection as soon as you kick them off your feet, thereby beating bacteria before it takes hold. • Always remember to wash your insoles on a regular basis; also it won’t take much of your time as they are machine washable. • Just like sweat, dirt and grime can stink when broke down so always with a damp paper towel; give your dirty shoes a wipe.
Wear sweat-absorbing socks • There are a lot of socks out there who have sweat absorbing qualities. • Invest in them now with your top deodorant for men collection. No need to stick to the same old whites forever. • Whether it’s a low cut plain socks or a heavy duty wool sock, the type of socks you wear can make a huge difference between stinky or non-stinky shoes. • Also, it should go without saying that going sockless in shoes is a recipe for bad odour shoes.
Treat athletes foot/fungus • There are high chances that the bad odour of your feet may not be caused by bacteria but by fungus. • Athlete’s foot and toenail fungus are two manifestations as such, and while they both are not the same thing, often they both appear together. • While we can suggest you some home remedies, we would highly recommend you to visit a doctor. For this kind of feet condition, you can try overthe-counter powders and creams and some DIY remedies. • Treating the athlete’s foot and toenail fungus is a way ahead to clean and smell-free feet and enjoy the fragrance only of the best perfume for men.
Use baking soda • While you can buy a specially formulated powder for your shoe care, there are a couple of things in your home itself that can do the trick as well. • One of the classic ones is the baking soda, which is universally known to absorb and neutralize the odour. • You can directly toss the powder in your shoes or put it in the socks and place each pair in one shoe. It allows the soda to still work without letting it create a much of a mess. • Just be careful before employing this method with leather/suede, as excess use can dry out the material. • While the above tricks will definitely work help you eliminate the foul odour in your shoes but even these don’t work out maybe you will have to invest again in good pair of shoes along with your best perfume for men collection.
