How to eliminate unpleasant shoe odor?
The specific "aroma" of male feet is familiar to everyone and it arises from bacteria. Moisture and warmth are ideal conditions for their enhanced reproduction. If you wear the same shoe all day, you can be sure that the inner surface and the insoles are abundantly colonized by bacteria. Our tips will show you how to get rid of this unpleasant odor.
Always ventilate your shoes and leave them open after removal. It is unwise to put your shoes back in the box and your socks back into your boots. The tops of the boots must be straightened out. In the rainy season, use a water repellent to keep your shoes dry longer.
In winter and especially in the off-season, when the street is damp and dirty, be sure to use an electric dryer. It can be useful if you have to walk in your shoes for a long time without taking them off. And for disinfection, you can purchase an ultraviolet dryer. So you will kill two birds with one stone: destroy germs and get rid of the unpleasant smell.
You can remove the smell in another way - with the help of aerosol shoe deodorants and disinfectants. Spray the boots a couple of times, being careful not to let the drops fall outside (otherwise they may stain). The procedure is recommended to be carried out at night.
Never wear shoes that are too tight for you! The leg must "breathe". The insoles must be regularly removed and ventilated, washed, treated with disinfectants, and it is better to buy insoles made from natural materials.
There are special deodorizing cardboard insoles. They effectively absorb moisture and eliminate unpleasant odors. But remember to dry them completely every day at room temperature.
Shoes also require constant care. If applicable, wash or wipe with a damp cloth. Dry regularly, treat with special products.
Don't forget about yourself! Your minimum is daily washing your feet with warm water and soap. Socks need to be changed every day. It is useful to remove dead cells once a week using a pumice stone. Get in the habit of walking barefoot.
Follow these simple guidelines and you will never be ashamed of the "fragrance" of your feet!
