Why sandals and footbeds start to smell after use...

Sandals are designed to be worn next to skin, keeping your feet cool in warm conditions. They can be constructed from various materials including leather, fabric, synthetics, cork, rubber and plastic.

All sandals and footbeds have one thing in common; over time, contact with your bare feet will lead to a build up of dirt and body oils. This then leads to bacterial growth and smelly footwear!

Sandals and footbeds need to be cared for properly to avoid odor build up...

Sandals are great for keeping your feet comfortable when it’s hot, but over time barefoot use causes issues.

Wearing sandals with bare feet will lead to a build up of dirt and body oils on the sandal surface. In turn this will encourage the growth of bacteria, which cause smelly sandals after a few days use, especially in hot conditions. The same issue will apply with footbeds over time, even if you’re wearing socks.

Additionally, if sandals are not adequately cleaned, bacterial growth will also lead to decomposition of the sandal materials and stitching. This is especially common in natural materials such as leather and cork as they are broken down by bacteria for nourishment, leading to them rotting and reducing the useful lifetime of your footwear.
