The main cause is foot sweat. Sweat itself is odorless, but it creates a perfect environment for certain bacteria to grow and produce bad-smelling substances. Bacteria are naturally present on our skin. Foot odor is also the result of wearing shoes and/or socks with inadequate air ventilation for many hours. Because human feet are densely covered with sweat glands, perspiration of the feet can combine with surface bacteria to produce odor. Hair on the feet, especially on the toes, may contribute to the odor’s intensity by adding increased surface area in which the bacteria can thrive.
