Why do my feet smell?

 

A: Your feet smell because of sweat. This is also why some people's feet smell worse than others. The smell is not caused from the sweat but from the bacteria on your skin that eats the sweat and excretes a very foul smelling waste. Your shoes and socks help to give that bacteria an ideal living environment- it's dark, moist and usually warm. Here, we have products that will kill the bacteria eliminating the odor. We also have foot antiperspirants that will protect against sweating.
