Make a daily routine of foot bathing for yourself. You can soak feet in the hot water from 50 to 60oC in 15 minutes and 1-2 times a day. Remember to add 50g of alum in hot water, soak feet for 10 minutes, the smell will immediately disappear. Also, you can use dried loofah as shoe pad, you will get rid of the smell caused by foot sweat.

Healthy eating

Men mostly like to eat strong spices, this causes the strong development of foot odor .

In addition,  it takes red meat a long time to digest. When it is difficult for food to digest, the odors are released and cause bad smells.

Use foot-odor deodorant
