Why do shoes smell and how does shoe odor develop?<\/h3>\n
Your shoes are an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Especially if your feet sweat a lot and the moisture stays trapped in the shoes, a warm, damp environment is created. This is the perfect place for microorganisms to thrive. <\/p>\n
\n
Sweat + Bacteria = Stench:<\/strong> Sweat itself is odorless, but bacteria feed on it. They break down the sweat into waste products that cause that pungent shoe odor<\/strong>. <\/li>\n
Moisture and Heat:<\/strong> Closed shoes, synthetic materials, and insufficient airing after use trap moisture. This worsens the problem and causes the odor to penetrate deep into the material. <\/li>\n
“Cat urine” odor:<\/strong> A specific, sharp odor can be caused by certain bacteria that break down sweat into ammonia-like substances. This is a common complaint with smelly shoes<\/strong> that are often damp. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
