JAKARTA - Sometimes, some people feel their feet are very sweaty when the weather is so hot. This condition can actually be caused by a number of things, one of which is the shoes used.

"Goes, like hands, tend to sweat in the summer, especially when you wear shoes or sandals with ingredients that can't allow the skin to breathe," said podiatric expert at Step Up Footcare, New York, Nelya Lobkova as quoted by ANTARA from Livestrong.

When choosing shoes, you should choose which part contains an air net. Often, athletic shoes are a good choice because they are designed to increase air flow.

Another reason is that your feet sweat, you don't wear socks. If your feet are very sweaty, you focus on wearing socks made of anti-wetting materials. Avoid being shirtless with shoes made of hot catchers (such as skin), because you're just going to sweat more.

In addition, pay attention to your drinking water adequacy. The right hydration helps your body stay cold. If you don't drink enough water, your body will struggle to regulate its temperature, resulting in more sweat, Lobkova said.

Try to consider the possibility of you having hyperhydrosis. Let's say your feet sweat a lot, and it looks like a lot more than most people do. We're talking about the type of sweating that causes wet footprints on the floor.

The sweat is common, but excessive sweat is rare called hyperhidrosis, said Lobkova.

You may be among 5 percent of the population suffering from hyperhidrosis if your feet sweat excessively almost all the time rather than in certain circumstances such as hot weather or during exercise.

According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, treatments that effectively control foot sweat include using anti-cycling. The effects of feet are very sweaty and tips on overcoming sweaty feet can be the perfect environment for the growth of health problems such as wartiles and fungal or bacterial infections.

Common signs there is something wrong, such as red spots, scales or itching. Immediately consult a doctor or leg disease expert for treatment. Then, before the problem arises, what can be done to stop very sweaty feet? Try soaking your feet using tea to remove sweat on your feet. Make a cup of thick black tea, then pour the drink into a basin filled with cold water. Make sure the water has the right temperature before it enters your feet.

"Black tea contains tannins, which have the property of astringent to narrow sweat glands and reduce sweat," said Lobkova. In addition, you can sprinkle powder on your feet before wearing a socks, sterilize your shoes before putting them on and dry the insides of your shoes if they can be removed.
