What is the best way to prevent smelly feet and toe fungus?
By wearing socks with shoes and washing your feet with soap and water in the shower.
Bacteria mixed with your dead skin cells and sweat can cause foot odor and possibly lead to skin/toe infections. Wearing socks keeps the dead skin and sweat (most of it) in the sock not in the shoe.
These are the steps you take to shower the right way. (Yes there is a right and wrong way to shower)
There are 6 steps
1) Turn on the warm water
2) Get wet
3) Get soap and start from the top and work your way down. (Think about it, if you use the washcloth on your bum and then your face you are not really getting clean)
4) Rinse
5) Dry off with a towel. This is more important than you think. If you leave warm moist areas wet and then get dressed bacteria will grow and mix with your sweat and you will stink.
6) If showering at night you are done, if showering in the morning PUT ON DEODORANT :)
This should be done at least once a day, but more is even better.
