Foot deodorant for sweaty feet: what works?

A foot deodorant primarily masks or neutralises odour. If your feet or socks also tend to get clammy quickly, an antiperspirant is a better choice as it helps reduce excessive sweating on the skin.

PediSpray® antiperspirant on feet against excessive sweating

PediSpray® is a fragrance-free foot deodorant with an antiperspirant effect. Choose Regular 15% for light to moderate sweating or Strong 20% for persistent sweaty feet. The detailed explanation of spray for sweaty feet This helps you compare both variants.

Foot deodorant or antiperspirant: what’s the difference?

PediSpray® antiperspirant applied to clean, dry feet

A standard foot deodorant often masks odours with perfume. Whilst this may be pleasant temporarily, it does nothing to reduce the amount of sweat on your feet.

An antiperspirant works differently. The aluminium salts in PediSpray® help to reduce sweat production on the treated skin. This keeps your feet drier and provides less moisture for odour-causing bacteria.

Foot odour often starts with moisture on the skin

Fresh sweat is virtually odourless. The typical foot odour arises when bacteria break down substances in the sweat. Less moisture therefore also means less breeding ground for odour.

Dry, smelly feet require a different approach to clammy feet

Do your feet stay dry and do you only suffer from odour occasionally? In that case, a standard foot deodorant may be sufficient for the time being.

Do your feet and socks get clammy or wet? If so, choose an antiperspirant.PediSpray® for excessive sweating helps to reduce perspiration on the skin.

Does the odour tend to linger in your shoes? Then treat the inside of your shoes with PediFris® Classic as well.

No perfume as a fragrance mask

PediSpray® is fragrance-free. The spray therefore does not mask foot odour with a new layer of fragrance.

Reduced excessive sweating

Aluminium salts help to temporarily reduce perspiration on the treated skin.

Regular or Strong

Choose Regular 15% for mild to moderate sweating and Strong 20% for persistent sweaty feet.

Fits into a regular routine

Ideally, apply the spray in the evening to clean, dry feet and allow the skin to dry thoroughly.

How to use an antiperspirant foot deodorant

Proper preparation helps ensure the spray is applied evenly to the skin.

Start with clean, dry feet

Wash your feet and dry them thoroughly, including between the toes.

Apply the spray preferably in the evening

Spray PediSpray® onto the sole of the foot and between the toes. Allow the skin to dry completely before putting on socks.

Gradually phase down to a maintenance routine

Use the spray daily at first. After that, two to three times a week is usually sufficient to maintain the effect.

Does foot odour linger in your shoes?

A foot deodorant works on the skin, but odours, bacteria and fungi can also linger in the lining and insoles of your shoes.

Use PediFris® Classic in dry shoes and PediSpray® on your feet. This way, you give both your skin and your shoes their own place in your routine.
