Instruction manual

The main cause of unpleasant odors in shoes is excessive sweating. Moreover, the sweat itself is odorless - its components are water and salt. The cause of the "aroma" is the active growth of bacteria. Closed shoes made of synthetic materials contribute to this reproduction. Faux leather, faux fur, paints and adhesives of poor quality create a favorable environment for the life of microorganisms. In order that the new shoes do not start to “smell” after a few days, it is recommended to give preference to natural materials when buying. In the warm season, try to wear open shoes. It is recommended that you change shoes when you come to work in winter. If possible, do not wear one pair of shoes for two days in a row.

It is impossible to rid shoes of sweat without preventing the multiplication of bacteria on the skin of the feet. Therefore, you must follow the simple rules of personal hygiene. Wash your feet with soap every day, and if necessary several times a day. With excessive sweating, it is recommended to use salt baths. To do this, prepare the solution at the rate of: one cup of coarse salt in two liters of water. Hold your feet in a salt bath for several minutes, and then dry with a towel without washing off the solution. Also, baths with a weak solution of potassium permanganate, decoctions of oak bark, sage, rose hips or horsetail can also cope with the problem. Choose deodorizing powder, powder or talc. Make sure that the product contains aluminum chloride hexahydrate. Treat your toes after each wash. Try to choose socks or tights made from natural fabrics. Never wear one pair for more than one day.
