Sweaty feet, do you suffer from them too?

Sweaty feet can get in your way quite a bit on a daily basis-clammy socks, unpleasant odors and shoes that just won’t keep your feet dry. Fortunately, there is a way to tackle this problem once and for all.

Whatever the cause – heat, poorly ventilated shoes or just plain bad luck – at PediFris® we know how to combat sweaty feet effectively. Discover here the best tips and solutions to keep your feet fresh and dry, every day.

What are sweaty feet?

Feet always sweat, and normally you produce about 0.25 liters of moisture a day through your feet, but if you suffer from excessive perspiration – also known as hyperhidrosis – this can add up considerably. This causes not only clammy feet, but also unpleasant odors and can lead to long-term problems such as foot fungus or nail fungus.

Causes of sweaty feet

Why do some feet sweat more than others? In many cases, hereditary predisposition plays a role, but certain physical factors can also contribute. Consider obesity, hormonal changes such as menopause, diabetes or a thyroid gland that works too fast. In addition, medication, stress, exercise and warm temperatures can add to sweat production.

If you really want to tackle sweaty feet, you should not only fight the effects, but also address the cause. Fortunately, there are effective solutions to keep your feet fresh and dry.

What are the symptoms of sweaty feet

Sweaty feet can be recognized not only by damp feet, but also by other discomforts that can accompany them. Excessive perspiration can lead to irritation, odor and even skin problems. These are the most common symptoms:

  • Continuously damp or clammy feet, even without exertion
  • An unpleasant odor caused by bacteria that feed on sweat and break it down into strong-smelling waste products
  • Wrinkled or pale skin due to prolonged exposure to moisture
  • A burning or tingling sensation on the feet
  • Cold feet even in warm temperatures

Effects of Sweaty Feet

Sweaty feet can have more impact than you think. Constant perspiration can cause not only an unpleasant odor, but also embarrassment and insecurity, making social situations uncomfortable.

In addition, persistent moisture increases the risk of foot infections, especially in people with conditions such as diabetes, where extra caution is needed.

After drying, the feet can be treated with conditioners, or bactericidal and fungicidal powder. For stubborn stinky feet, we recommend antibacterial soap.

What is also recommended are foot baths. Make sure the temperature is not too high (hand warm at most), and do not take them for more than a few minutes, otherwise the foot baths will actually backfire.

Which socks help against sweaty feet

 
    
                                         

Choose socks made of natural materials such as cotton or bamboo, which help wick away moisture. Avoid synthetic fabrics, as they often do not breathe as well and retain sweat.

What is also often recommended are silver socks. The silver in these socks has a positive effect on moisture and blood flow in the feet.

                
 
 
         

Which shoes help against sweaty feet?

 
    
                                         

Choose shoes that ventilate well, such as leather or canvas models. These materials allow your feet to breathe and help reduce moisture.

Avoid shoes made of synthetic materials, as they are often less breathable and retain moisture, which can exacerbate the problem.

                
 
 
         

Why do my sweaty feet smell so strong?

 
    
                                         

The odor occurs because bacteria break down sweat into compounds that smell strong. Prevent these odors by airing your shoes regularly and using antibacterial agents such as PediFris® Classic.
