TIPS ON KEEPING YOUR FEET ODOR FREE

OHIO PODIATRIST, DR. JOY ROWLAND STATES, "WHETHER YOU ARE WEARING SNEAKERS, CLEATS, OR ATHLETIC SANDALS, MOISTURE IN YOUR SHOES LEAD TO ODOUR AMD EVEN INFECTIONS, LIKE ATHLETE'S FOOT.  BACTERIA AND FUNGI AND ALL THE LOVELY LITTLE BUGS, LOVE HEAT AND MOISTURE AND DARKNESS AND THAT'S THE BEST SPOT - INSIDE YOUR SHOES. SOME HELPFUL TIPS ARE THOROUGHLY CLEANSING YOUR FEET WITH MORE THAN TAKING A QUICK SHOWER.  I RECOMMEND SOAKING YOUR FEET IN A VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION OR EPSOM SALT SOLUTION.  IF YOU PREFER THE SHOWER, IT'S IMPORTANT TO WASH YOUR FEET AND SCRUB BETWEEN THE TOES.  WHATEVER CLEANSING METHOD YOU CHOOSE, BE SURE TO DRY YOUR FEET WELL.  UNPLEASANT ODOR COMES FOM MOISTURE, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP FEET, SHOES AND SOCKS DRY. ALWAYS OPT FOR A DRY PAIR INSTEAD AND CARRY SEVERAL DRY PAIRS WITH YOU.  YOU CAN ALSO TRY SPRAYING YOUR SHOES WITH A GENERAL PURPOSE DISINFECTANT SPRAY.  TAKE THE INSOLE OUT OF THE SHOE, LIGHTLY SPRAY ON THE INSOLE, LET DRY FOR 24 HOURS, PUT THEM BACK IN THE SHOE; YOU'RE NOW TREATING THE SHOE ALSO."
