Sweating
feet - who else has this problem and is there help for excessively
sweaty feet?
Yes.
There are definitely ways to help sweaty feet. While there is no cure,
there are number of what the International Hyperhidrosis Society
calls "everyday" solutions that work well. Also there are
treatments that a doctor can provide. Sometimes it helps to find an
ideal combination of treatments and everyday solutions.
Everyday Help for Sweaty Feet:
- Look for cotton or other absorbent linings in closed shoes. Avoid
nylon, as these are not shoes for sweaty feet - nylon can create odors.
- When wearing sandals and open shoes, don't pick the open shoes with
insoles made of synthetics or plastics. These can cause sweating feet
to become even worse.
- Use Summer Soles absorbent liners. They help sweaty feet
stay away from shoe beds, so the chemicals and dies in sandals and
open shoes can't rub off on feet, irritate sweaty feet, or make sweaty
feet sweat even more!
- Check with your podiatrist or dermatologist about prescription antiperspirants.
While over the counter antiperspirants may work for some people, it
is our experience that most customers find the best help after visiting
their local doctor. Using these prescription products for sweaty
feet on and around your soles and between toes can really help
reduce issues and cure sweaty feet.
Treatments for Sweaty Feet:
- If you visit a podiatrist or dermatologist, they can talk to you
about other sweaty feet help. We cannot endorse or recommend
any of these- only a trained professional can speak with you about
the effects of these treatments. There are machines that deliver iontophoresis.
These machines use a high voltage short-term electrical current that
drives positive and negative ions into sweaty feet tissue to reduce
feet sweating.
- Prescription antiperspirants that can be sprayed onto feet and toes
that reduce the amount of perspiration created by sweaty feet.
- The technical term for excessively perspiring feet is within the
family of hyperhydrosis, called plantar hyperhidrosis. Your
dermatologist of podiatrist can direct you to medical procedures created
just for excessively perspiring feet.
How are sweaty feet helped by Ultra-Absorbent Summer
Soles?
Until now, shoe liners have been available for orthotic purposes,
for overall cushioning, and as inserts for either the heel or ball
of a foot to improve the overall fit of a shoe. None of the current
products are designed to absorb moisture for sweaty feet and
prevent slippage due to sweating feet when wearing open shoes. This
Summer Soles absorbent open-shoe liner has been created to answer
the needs of those looking for summer footwear solutions for sweaty
feet.
Typical footbeds of non-athletic shoes such as pumps, loafers, and
sandals comprise a liner made from leather, plastic, or synthetic
material which cannot absorb nor release foot produced perspiration.
However, the human foot has the capacity to produce at least ˝ a cup
of perspiration per day. As a result, feet accumulating perspiration
tend to slip in typical footbeds, causing the foot to shift inside
the shoe and even slip completely out of the shoe in some cases. Further,
persons with Hyperhydrosis have even more difficulties, such that
simply keeping an open shoe on their feet is nearly impossible.
For people with these sweaty feet problems, and particularly those
with hyperhidrosis, or plantar hyperhidrosis, Ultra-Absorbent
Summer Soles provide a simple solution. The specially-blended wool
fabric is not tightly woven. In fact, small air crevices exist between
the interlocked fibers. These small air crevices are able to capture
perspiration from sweaty feet and as pressure is applied while
walking, this perspiration slowly moves to the sides of the insole
where it dissipates. The Summer Soles Ultra-Absorbent insolespull
moisture away from the sole of footbeds. The result is that footbeds
stay drier, and unaffected by friction with shoes. So sweaty feet
feel much more comfortable without the slippery, dangerous sliding
that would have taken place without using Summer Soles.
Is the Suede Style helpful for Sweaty Feet?
Yes. Our Suede Style of Summer Soles open shoe insoles for sweaty
feet are made of a microfiber suede. At the surface, loose and somewhat
fuzzy fibers act as one more layer between the woven fabric and your
feet. While the Suede Softness style simply cannot keep your feet
as dry as the Ultra Absorbent style, they are certainly removable
just like the Ultra Absorbent and so based on the amount of feet sweating
you experience, you may like to interchange between Suede Softness
and Ultra Absorbent. Even many of our customers with Plantar Hyperhidrosis
rotate through wearing the two styles.

Hyperhidrosis versus Sweaty Feet. How do I know
the difference?
Checkout the link above for Diagnosis. The International Hyperhidrosis
Society displays a worksheet you can fill out. It has simple question
you should ask yourself. Since everyone's feet sweat, it is
important to guage the amount of feet sweating and the affect that
it has on your daily life. Questions the Hyperhidrosis Society recommends
you ask yourself include things like:
1. How many times per day do you think or worry about sweaty feet?
2. How many times per day do you change your socks or shoes?
3. Have you used or do you carry "supplies” (such as extra socks
and shoes, napkins, powders, antiperspirants, or towels) to help you
manage your feet sweat?
4. How often do you have to purchase new clothing or shoes?
5. Do you find that you make such purchases more frequently than other
people?
Many more questions like these can be found and the Hyperhidrosis
Society's webpage titled Diagnosing
Hyperhidrosis.
Our
customers with Sweaty Feet have given us rave reviews:
"I
cannot express my delight that I don't have to spend another summer
hiding my freshly pedicured feet wearing sneakers and socks, my feet
actually sweat profusely. Now I can enjoy wearing sandals, heels,
thongs. I love it..,no more slipping and sliding no even when it rains."
Lani K., NY
"Finally I have found the perfect product for my flats. I live in
flats but since I can't wear socks with them, I have to go bare. This
results in stinky sweaty feet. I've searched far and wide for any
socks or soles that could help with this problem but no such luck.
Socks aren't low enough so you can see them sticking out and insoles
still cause sweaty feet. I am so glad that someone has finally invented
a product that solves these problems. Thank you! I will definitely
be purchasing more for my flats collection!" Anonymously Happy
"I can't say how much I love that someone actually came out with a
product I can use for sweaty feet. I have never been able to wear
any shoes that were cute or anything because of the sole, even in
prom I had to wear old lady shoes with material because I couldn't
wear the normal ones but since i've discovered summersoles I buy all
the shoes I want to buy instead of the ones that I have to buy. All
of my friends now love that I dont just wear "grandma" anymore but
cute shoes that they want to borrow even." Brenda, 20 yrs old, FL
"I ordered three and immediately put each one in three pairs of dress
shoes.I have worn one pair of dress shoes so far and no sweating or
odor at all. They seem to either absorb or wick away the foot moisture.
Thank you and I look forward to doing business with you again when
I buy new shoes." Noel H., NY
Hyperhidrosis and Plantar Hyperhidrosis. Who has
plantar hyperhidrosis?
It is estimated that nearly 8 million people in the U.S. suffer from
Hyperhidrosis (2.8% of the population). Prevalence projections from
a 2004 study indicate that Plantar Hyperhidrosis is less common than
other forms. The study reports that 50.8% of U.S. Hyperhidrosis sufferers
have Axillary Hyperhidrosis in combination with other forms of Hyperhidrosis.
Another 25% have Palmar Hyperhidrosis alone or in combination with
other forms of Hyperhidrosis. It is assumed that Plantar Hyperhidrosis
sufferers make up a fraction of these "other forms." |
