Promotion for Odor-Eaters
When you’ve been on your feet all day, hitting the gym, working and pounding the pavement, your feet are bound to get a bit sweaty. Add on a warm Kiwi summer and your feet may feel like they’re swimming!
The foot has 250,000 sweat glands – the highest concentration of sweat glands in the entire body – so it’s no wonder that excessive foot wetness is a common issue. When bacteria feed on sweat and dead skin cells, foot odour is the result. However, it can be treated effectively with proper care and products designed for foot odour and wetness.
We asked the team at Odor-Eaters for their tips on keeping your feet fresh and dry throughout the day.
Wash your feet daily
Scrub gently and thoroughly all over your feet using antibacterial soap, paying particular attention to between and under the toes. When finished, dry your feet completely by patting them dry and don’t forget between those toes.
Choose your shoes
Wear well-ventilated shoes, preferably made from natural material – your feet will breathe better.
If possible, avoid wearing the same shoes two days in a row. Store shoes in a location that allows them to air out and dry. For shoes and boots with removable insoles, consider removing the insole after wearing to help shoes dry quicker and more thoroughly.
Socks are your friend
When choosing socks, look for moisture-wicking properties mentioned on the label. These draw the moisture away from your feet, rather than trapping it in. Merino wool is a good option. The soft, lightweight fibres have antimicrobial properties that fight odour-causing bacteria.
All-day effectiveness for fresher, drier feet
With a range of insoles, sprays and powder, Odor-Eaters provides a range of products designed specifically to treat foot odour and wetness, keeping your feet fresh and dry throughout the day.
Consider ‘layering’ different products for maximum effect. For example, use an insole in your shoes, then spray your feet or use a powder. If the problem persists, consult a podiatrist.
Odor-Eaters Foot & Shoe Powder destroys foot odour and absorbs sweat with three powerful odour and sweat fighters.
Odor-Eaters Foot & Shoe Sprays are heavy-duty antiperspirant and deodorant sprays that fight odour on contact for 24-hour control.
