6. Make your own herbal salve
Rubbing a homemade herbal salve on your feet just before bedtime can make quite a difference when it comes to managing your stinky feet problem. The recipe is pretty simple, and besides all the antibacterial properties, this herbal salve will also improve your sleep quality! You will need 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 4 tablespoons of beeswax pastilles, 1 cup of virgin olive oil, and 200 drops of tea tree oil. Add all the ingredients to a double boiler and mix it all up over medium heat until all the components become completely liquid. Distribute the mixture into a couple of jars and allow it to cool down. Then, every day before bed, apply a generous layer of this magnificent product to the soles of your feet, and there you go!
5. Good old baby powder
Baby powder should be a part of every household since it’s actually a very versatile product to keep around. You can sprinkle a little bit of this fresh-smelling powder into your shoes to absorb any excess moisture that might have formed during the day. While baby powder is the most common choice, some people say that baking soda can have the same effect.
4. Don’t forget to wear socks
Wearing socks can be annoying for some people, but the truth is that they help absorb the excessive sweat produced by your feet throughout the day. Therefore, wearing socks can actually help prevent any nauseating odors from forming in your shoes. However, it is important that you change your socks every single day and wash your feet in-between. If you are a particularly sweaty individual, carrying an extra pair of socks to change in the middle of the day might not be such a bad idea – just in case it’s really hot and you end up sweating more than you were expecting.
3. What about investing in breathable shoes?
Like we have mentioned before, shoes are kind of like a prison for your feet, but you can always improve this “prison” if you choose breathable shoes over cheap, closed ones. While breathable shoes made from materials like canvas or leather can be more expensive, they are also more comfortable and actually promote healthy feet. This type of shoes allows your sweat to evaporate quickly so your feet will remain dry and free from any nasty odors.
