My hygiene is good and I wear clean socks everyday-why do shoes end up smelling anyway?

Question

Is it the fabric in the shoes or is it something else?

Answer 1

1] people's feet sweat, so the odor transfers to the shoes
2] try wearing all leather shoes
3] try cotton socks
4] don't go barefoot in shoes, unless they are sandals
5] alternate the shoes you wear - let one pair dry completely before you wear them again [ also makes shoes last longer ]
6] spray your feet with foot spray, antiperspirant, or powder before putting socks on
7] use odor absorbing shoe liners, especially for work or athletic shoes

Answer 2

My shoes don't smell. Maybe you should try changing your shoes more often; like wear different pairs on different days. They would probably get a lot less dirty and smelly that way. It makes sense, you change your socks every day but then you put on the same smelly shoes? They might need to air out and dry up a little.

Answer 3

Hey, Same with me I always keep my feet clean and where socks also, but they end up smelling. It probably happends to pretty much everyone. To stop this you will need to get shoes spray that makes your shoes smell better. Its probably from sweating.

Answer 4

NOOOOOO its because your feet sweat and they are locked inside socks and a shoe so their is no other way than the sweat to turn into nasty smelling odor .... just wear sandals

Answer 5

Shoes smell due to perspiration. Shoes not made of leather are the worst offenders. Change your SHOES as often as you change your SOCKS, give your shoes (and feet) time to breathe.

Answer 6

i think its the sweat build up
