Feet can sweat very badly, creating a damp environment conducive to bacterial growth. Thus, infection and a nasty smell can be seen to show poor hygiene in this area of the body.

Fortunately, there are many antibacterial ingredients that act as deodorants. This helps clean shoes, neutralizing unpleasant odors.
