What Causes Foot Odor?

What causes us to have such stinky feet? The answer lies in a combination of factors. Trapped sweat is a major culprit, especially when we wear shoes without proper ventilation. Poor hygiene can also contribute, as the bacteria that cause odor thrive in warm, moist environments. Certain diseases, such as hormonal changes or hyperhidrosis, can also play a role. It’s important to take care of our feet and make sure we wear breathable shoes.
