Why are men more prone to foot odor than women?
1. Men are more likely to sweat
Compared with women, men's sweat glands are more developed. Men sweat more than women. Men tend to exercise more and exercise more, so men's feet are more likely to sweat. If the feet sweat a lot, the bacteria on the feet will break down the keratin protein, and it is easy to form foot odor.
2. Reasons for wearing shoes
Women wear shoes in a variety of ways. Most of the shoes are very breathable. If the shoes are breathable, it is not easy to sweat, and it is not easy to produce foot odor. Men usually wear sneakers or leather shoes, which have poor ventilation. When you sweat a lot, the generated gas can't circulate well, and if you take off your shoes, there will be a very smelly foot odor.
3. Reasons for personal hygiene habits
Many men don't do a good job of hygiene. Especially for some men, a pair of shoes is worn for a long time without brushing and changing, let alone changing and washing socks every day, so foot odor is inevitable. And some men don't like to wash their feet and don't take a bath, so the smell of feet will be more serious.
