Why do feet smell? Because our feet produce sweat that gets trapped in our shoes. As the moisture grows, bacteria on our skin begins to eat the sweat. The bacteria then excrete waste that contains the odor that we smell. The solution in removing the smell is to get your shoes or boots dry.

We sweat all over -- our hands have a comparable number of sweat glands, for example -- and most of the rest of our body doesn't particularly stink, except for our armpits. The difference is socks and shoes cover up our feet. The sweat our feet produce can't easily escape into the air like the sweat on our hands. Therefore, the sweat collects in our socks and shoes. The bacteria love this dark, damp feast and have a sort of feeding frenzy. When you take off your shoes, the smell that hits you is all the bacteria excretions that's collected on your feet and in your socks and shoes.

Athletic shoes build up moisture fast, usually from sweat inside the shoe or playing on the wet ground. Shoe dryers will eliminate the moisture so your feet feel comfortable again. A dry shoe will keep your feet in good condition and always ready for the next game.
