Steri Shoe: Comfort and Confidence for Your Feet

When it comes to clothes, most people wear a new outfit every day regardless of their profession. Not only is it important to change your clothes every day for appearance but it’s good hygiene practice. The same goes for washing your hair or taking a shower, it is important to keep clean for good health and the prevention of diseases.

However, your shoes often go unnoticed and rarely get washed. In fact, they are worn numerous times before you even think about cleaning them. Unfortunately, shoes can carry fungus spores that can lay dormant for months. All it takes to activate the spores is a little bit of moisture and heat from your feet (sweat). In addition, if you have problems with diabetes, athlete’s foot or toenail fungus, you definitely shouldn’t put your feet back in any shoes that could be filled with fungus. On the contrary, there is a better solution to keep your feet fungus free.

Comfort for Your Feet

Let’s face it; your feet get a lot of abuse. For instance, feet carry your body’s weight and take 5,000 or more steps each day. Additionally, you stuff your feet into shoes and then stand on them all day long. Unfortunately, your feet carry a heavy load each day but rarely receive attention.

For the most part, to keep your feet comfortable and healthy, your feet require a little care. According to WebMD, basic care for your feet includes

• Stay clear of tight fitting shoes
• Keep the skin between your toes dry
• Periodically, clean your feet well in warm water
• Wear supportive shoes and never wear flip-flops
• Avoid wearing the same shoes everyday by rotating them
• Check your feet daily for swelling, sores, cuts and toenail infection
• Apply moisturizer everyday such as cream or lotion. Never put moisturizer between your toes
• Using nail clippers, trim your toenails straight across. Use an emery board to smooth rough edges

Foot Odor

There are two main factors that can cause foot odor; your shoes and sweat. The odor actually comes from the bacteria in your socks or shoes when it comes in contact with your sweat. Thankfully, there are several successful methods for controlling foot odor.

• Air out athlete shoes for at least 24 hours before wearing again
• Change your socks daily and avoid wearing the same shoes 2 days in a row
• Wash your feet in warm water every day. Make sure to dry your feet thoroughly
• Wear comfortable shoes that let your feet breathe such as canvas, leather or mesh. Stay clear of plastic and nylon

As of late, one of the most innovative products for foot odor is Steri Shoe. The clinically proven Steri Shoe sanitizer reduces shoe odor by killing the bacteria in your shoes. In fact, Steri Shoe kills up to 99.9% of microorganisms that cause odor.

It is one of the most difficult funguses to treat and spreads quickly. Symptoms include cracking skin, burning and itching, inflammation, dry skin, and blisters.
