Causes of foot odour
The Canadian Journal of Microbiology states that foot odour is derived from bacterial degradation of leucine (amino acids that we get through our diet) in sweat, contributes to foot odour. These agents were found to control microbial production of foot odour without disrupting the normal microbial flora of the human skin. This means foot odour, although unpleasant, is not harmful to your feet.
GEHWOL's holistic approach to foot care takes into account these contributing factors, offering targeted solutions to address the root causes of foot odour
Causes of foot odour in foot wear
Foot odour doesn't stop at the feet; it can permeate into shoes, creating a persistent issue. Several factors contribute to the development of a malodorous shoe environment.
Moisture retention poses a significant factor in the equation of foot odour within shoes. When feet sweat, the moisture accumulates inside the footwear, creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria that produce unpleasant odours. The choice of shoe material is equally crucial.
Non-breathable materials hinder proper ventilation, trapping moisture and promoting an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Additionally, infrequent cleaning exacerbates the issue, allowing bacteria and fungi to accumulate, intensifying the unpleasant smell emanating from the shoes. Addressing this is essential to stop foot odour, and GEHWOL's foot care solutions tackle these issues for a more pleasant and hygienic foot and shoe experience.
