Some people’s feet perspire more than others. We see a lot of sweaty feet in Houston because of the hot and humid weather. Sweating feet create an ideal habitat for fungus to thrive. In a warm, moist, dark shoe, fungus thrives and waits for an opportunity to infect the skin or toenails.
The more moisture in the shoe, the more perspiration your foot produces. This raises the chances of fungal growth and infection. In many situations, foot sweat may be reduced, and fungal infections of the skin and toenails can be cured. Most people don’t think about what’s going on inside their shoes. Fungus may grow in your shoes, and you’ll need to cure them as well. This can be done using an antifungal spray, such as Tolcylen shoe spray, or with UV light, which disinfects the shoe without the need of heat or chemicals.
