7 tips against sweaty feet

Sweat and stinky feet? Ultimate tips against the welding foot.

Against sweaty feet there are - depending on the severity of the problems - different approaches.

1. Very important for massive sweaty feet

Wash your feet every day. Depending on the odor nuisance I recommend 1-2 times a week a footbath in household soda. This gives it? S for about 1-2 euros per 500 grams in drugstores. The remedy is a real all-rounder regarding the sweaty feet, Natron does the following: Soda is a lye that neutralizes the bacterial pH of the feet and also kills the bacteria. Furthermore, soda has the advantage of neutralizing odors! For dosage; 1 tablespoon reaches the foot bath. I personally sprinkle with a bit of soda on a washcloth moisten this and rub it off the soles and toe gaps. Then rinse under the shower. You should not leave soda too long, because it forms a concentrated strong liquor and so long applied corrosive acts.

2. Use insoles

These absorb moisture and protect the shoes. By regular replacement (every few weeks) of the deposits you keep the shoe germ-free than without deposits. Inserts with cinnamon filling or cedar wood inserts have proven to be useful. Compared to activated carbon or cotton, these have the advantage that they actively fight bacteria! Personally, I'm more into the cinnamon variety. These soles (brand? Cinnea?) Are a quilted cotton soles filled with cinnamon (without chemical additives!), Ginger and aloe. The smell of cinnamon horny when you take off your shoes. Cost about 3 euros per pair. Cedar wood is a little stiffer and smoother from wearing. Also you slip around it more in the shoe. Better the cinnamon inlays.


3. Who has evil stinky feet

If you have bad stinky feet, you should have a "night cure" once a week? make with baby cream. No joke. I copied that from the Turkish army. This has developed a zinkoxidhaltige foot cream for his soldiers - which you can also buy for expensive money. However, is not this much different in composition from a stink normal baby? ? Anti-ouch-wound cream? e.g. Penaten? Baby? Nappy rash cream ?. Important; there must be zinc oxide in it. No fear; The cream is not a chemical bomb. And zinc oxide is an ingredient that does not harm the body. One proceeds as follows; The best way to do the cure overnight. That best after the Natronfußbad, as this degreasing effect and the cream so also better absorbed into the skin. Instead of a foot bath you can also put a little soda powder on a washcloth and moisten and wash your feet with it. After the soda, wash well with soap and water to remove the soda. After the foot bath you rub so the baby cream relatively thick on the soles and pulls old stockings over it and then off to bed. The cream has so time to work and feed. Background; Zinc cream kills bacteria, hence the annoying Stink bacteria. This cure keeps my feet fresh for 1-2 weeks (in combination with the insoles). Important only; pay attention that even zinc oxide is drinne, because there are also without wound protection creams!

4. Often walk barefoot

Keeps the foot dry and cures. Use 2 pairs of slippers at home so that you can change to dry shoes more often during the day.

5. Disinfect shoes

No chemical bomb is needed for this. Wash washable shoes inside with some oxygen bleach. Then in the washing machine. Shoes that are not washable; The miracle weapon sprinkle soda in the shoe. Approximately 1 tablespoon. Distribute in the shoe. Knock out leftovers in the morning before putting them on (best over the bath). Attention; do not inhale; Soda is corrosive. Background; Soda also works in the shoe against the acidic environment of the bacteria (soda = lye) and soda absorbs the smell. For massive odor problems, you can also use the soda in the freshly drawn out? Wet? Shake shoe. Best to let it work overnight.


6. Always let shoes dry well

Do not wear the same shoe every day. For massive "sweaty feet", use an electric shoe dryer to let the shoes dry overnight.

7. And last but not least: use the right socks

In chemical fibers, the foot sweats more. Better to use cotton or blended fabrics. Ideal; Socks with functional fabrics, such as Falcon. Falke sells socks in various versions (normal everyday, business, run, walking, hiking) which are interwoven with a silver-containing fiber. These socks are very comfortable and offer by the silver (silver = antibacterial) an additional protection against Stink bacteria. Socks should be changed no matter how well, every day. Needless to say.

Hope these tips, help all plagued on. I myself have e.g. on the Way of St. James - every day in my hiking boots - thanks to cinnamon soles and falcon? Silver socks had no mieffüße. Great! Especially for my fellow travelers!

Always free from crime!
