Sweaty Feet – The Stinky Truth

This text focuses on the issue of sweaty feet. It explains that smelly feet aren't just unpleasant; they can also become a social problem as they're often seen as unhygienic.

Excessive Foot Sweat and Its Consequences

Sweaty feet are a common problem and a bit of a taboo, causing significant embarrassment for those who have them and discomfort for those around them. You do see the odd funny advert for specially ventilated shoes that aim to tackle sweaty feet and their effects. However, these alone won't solve the issue. The soles of our feet have a particularly high concentration of sweat glands, around 500 per square centimetre. These aren't primarily for temperature regulation but rather to improve grip. With sweaty feet, the constant dampness leads to persistent moisture and consequently, a softening and thickening of the skin's outer layer.

Antiperspirant for Heavy Foot Sweat

To combat foot perspiration, SweatStop® offers a unique upside-down antiperspirant. SweatStop® Forte max Upside Down reduces sweat secretion on the feet for a full 24 hours and, with daily use, can decrease foot sweat by up to 70%.

In our climate, going barefoot all the time to avoid sweaty feet simply isn't practical. This explains the numerous remedies available for sweaty feet, highlighting just how widespread the problem is. You'll find powders, sprays, and iontophoresis treatments. However, these often only provide short-term relief. Antiperspirants, like those from SweatStop®, and iontophoresis have proven particularly effective against sweaty feet.

Proper Foot Care for Sweaty Feet

Sweaty feet, cheesy feet, smelly feet – damp and unpleasant-smelling feet can become a real issue for sufferers. The mere thought of taking off shoes can trigger feelings of unease. But often, the unpleasant odour and wetness aren't due to poor hygiene; instead, they're a result of increased sweat production.

Optimal foot care, along with the right socks and shoes, can help with sweaty feet. Explore our EVERDRY webshop for effective solutions and gentle care for foot perspiration.

Sweaty feet can also be triggered by certain medical conditions.

Diabetes, an overactive thyroid, or athlete's foot can increase sweat production.
Genetics also play a role: some people simply sweat more than others.
Medications like beta-blockers can also lead to increased sweating.

Besides physical factors, psychological stress and anxiety can also stimulate sweat flow.

A balanced diet, regular exercise, and wearing breathable shoes and socks can also help prevent sweaty feet.
Foot baths with sage or chamomile can soothe and disinfect the skin. However, vinegar baths should be avoided as they can dry out the skin.
Certain home remedies, like dusting feet with baby powder, can provide short-term relief but aren't a long-term solution.
