There are more than 250000 sweat glands in total, which can secrete nearly 500ml of sweat a day. Besides moisture and salt, sweat also contains lactic acid and urea. When the water content is high, it is very conducive to the proliferation of bacteria and mold.

Sultry and airtight space: when the shoes are worn very tightly and the ventilation is poor, in addition to the increase of moisture, the pH value of the skin surface will change, from the original ph4.4 to pH7, and it will release carbon dioxide gas. This environment is most suitable for the growth of some bacteria on the sole of the foot.
