WHY DO OUR FEET SWEAT?
The feet have a high density of sweat glands, around 90,000 on the soles of the feet. These glands produce sweat to cool and protect the skin. Sweat itself does not smell and consists mainly of water. However, problems arise when the overproduction of foot sweat is decomposed by bacteria. Among other things, this causes odor problems and the feet stink. The causes of sweaty feet can be very different. For example, shoes and socks made of synthetic material can contribute to increased sweating feet, but conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), emotional stress, predisposition or hormonal fluctuations, such as during puberty or the menopause, can also promote sweaty feet.
