Choose shoes and socks with good air permeabilityThe air permeability of the feet directly affects the evaporation of sweat, and wearing shoes and socks with poor air permeability will lead to the accumulation of sweat, providing a breeding ground for bacteria to multiply. Choosing breathable cotton socks and the right shoes can significantly reduce the humidity on your feet, which in turn reduces the appearance of foot odor. Keep your feet dryAfter washing your feet every day, you should dry your feet thoroughly, especially the part between your toes. In a humid environment, microorganisms in the feet are more likely to multiply. In addition, antibacterial foot powder can be used regularly to help keep feet dry. 
Changing your shoes and socks regularlyWearing the same pair of shoes for too long or repeatedly wearing socks that have not dried thoroughly can increase the risk of foot odor. It is advisable to change your socks every day and change your shoes regularly to allow enough time for your shoes to ventilate and dry.
