For many centuries, people have been using shoes, and only the 20th century brought many small and large inventions that are designed to facilitate and ennoble human life. A deodorant for shoes is one such invention.
Causes of Bad Smell
Bad breath from shoes can appear for the following reasons:
- Cheap, low-quality shoes.
- Non-observance of personal hygiene.
- Increased sweating of the legs due to illness or fungus.
Whatever the reason, the only way out is to use a good deodorant for shoes. Deodorants for the legs can be divided into the following types:
- Sprays
- pills;
- creams;
- sticks, pads;
- folk shoe care products.
Consider in more detail these types of deodorants.
Shoe spray
Easy to use, affordable. They are odorless and with aroma, so every consumer can choose a deodorant to his taste. They are widely represented on the market, as each manufacturer of quality shoes produces this kind of sprays. Multifunctional: in addition to eliminating unpleasant odors, they have antifungal effects. The disadvantages include the quick ability to end.
Shoe deodorant in the form of a stick
Significantly cheaper than sprays, made in the form of pencils; compared with sprays, ticks last for a long time. Negative sides: when used inside shoes, they often break, such sticks are rare in the CIS markets.
Aromatic tablets
This shoe deodorant was originally developed for athletes. The principle of operation is as follows: an aromatic tablet is placed inside the shoe at night, which neutralizes the unpleasant odor, kills the fungus. The manufacturers of such tablets guarantee the result after three hours of finding the product inside the shoe. Negative sides: sold in large sports stores, high cost.
Odor neutralizing cream
Developed more than twenty years ago by doctors for the military, it occupies a leading position in sales and has been repeatedly tested by soldiers in action. Such a cream is applied to the foot in front of the shoe. It is able to block odor for five to fifteen days. The principle of its action is that the natural components of the cream destroy bacteria that cause unpleasant odors. The cream does not include aluminum, chemical dyes and additives, so it is suitable for sensitive skin.
Fragrant Pads
The main advantage of this tool is its low price. Pads are more suitable for those who just want to dry their shoes, and not eliminate the unpleasant odor.
Folk remedies
If you could not find a deodorant for shoes in your hometown, you can try to do it yourself. To do this, you need to take aromatic oil, a sock or a scarf from cotton fabric. Mix drops of your favorite oils (optional), drip 6-8 drops onto a handkerchief or sock and place overnight in a shoe or boot, while wrapping the place where the drops were applied inside so as not to stain the inside of the shoe. The next morning the shoes will exude a pleasant smell.
