2. Try activated charcoal shoe inserts
While shoe inserts are often used to provide extra comfort or to help tighten up your shoes, there are some special shoe inserts that can actually help prevent smelly feet. Activated charcoal shoe inserts, for example, have the power to absorb the unpleasant smells that tend to form inside your shoes. While the ones you can find online usually come in large sizes, you can use a pair of scissors to cut them off and get them to fit into smaller shoes.
1. Mind your diet
They say you are what you eat, and while that’s not 100% true, there is some truth to it. Consuming refined carbohydrates, like white rice, bread, or white pasta, can actually pave the way to smelly feet. Why? Because the effects refined carbs produce on your body create the perfect environment to allow fungus and bacteria to live their best lives. Investing in a balanced diet will have an immense effect on the scent of your sweat. Try to include healthy fats and protein into your diet, and replace those refined carbohydrates with complex ones, like veggies and fruits.
