Toe cheese is an informal term often used to describe an unpleasant odor or substance that can accumulate between the toes due to a fungal infection such as foot fungus, or due to poor foot hygiene.
It can also refer to dead skin cells and other dirt that accumulates between the toes. It is important to maintain good foot hygiene practices and treat any fungal infections to avoid or correct this problem.
PediSpray® foot spray and PediFris® Classic help address excessive sweat production and odor-causing bacteria.
The Causes of Toe Cheese
- Foot fungus: The culprit, also known as tinea pedis, thrives in moist environments and favors the space between your toes. It causes itching, scaling and lays the foundation for toe cheese formation.
- Excessive Sweat: Sweaty feet are an unpleasant reality for many and are an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, resulting in the formation of this undesirable substance.

Tips to prevent toe cheese
Toe cheese causes odor that is annoying and bothersome to the environment and to your own self-confidence. To combat this, it is important to follow some basic steps for good foot hygiene:
- Wash your feet daily with a mild soap and lukewarm water. Make sure to clean well between your toes, where most bacteria gather.
- Dry your feet thoroughly with absorbent towels or take time to air dry them after washing.
- Change socks and shoes regularly, as moisture is a haven for toe cheese-causing fungi.
- Choose breathable socks, such as those made of cotton or wool rather than nylon or synthetic materials that can trap moisture, allowing more bacteria to accumulate.
- Take care of your toenails by trimming them regularly
- Remove dirt under your toenails (be careful because of injury)
- Use disinfecting powder such as PediFris® in your shoes
- Use an antiperspirant such as PediSpray®
