Abstract

[Extract] Imagine you’re on a cramped bus. It’s stuffy and hot, and your feet feel like they’re roasting. You really want to take those sneakers off, but you just can’t.

Human feet contain roughly 250,000 sweat glands, more per square inch than anywhere else in the body, according to the Royal College of Podiatry in the United Kingdom. When sweat accumulates inside socks and shoes, bacteria break it down and cause that bad odour.
