But when you have to, say, walk a few minutes along the boardwalk to meet a friend somewhere else on the beach, you might experience one of the less pleasant experiences of summer, which is your feet slipping and sliding in rubber shoes thanks to foot sweat. Fun!<\/p>\n<p>Like the rest of your body, your feet may produce more sweat in the summer, says podiatrist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citypodiatry.com\/provider\/jacqueline-sutera-dpm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.citypodiatry.com\/provider\/jacqueline-sutera-dpm\">Jacqueline Sutera, DPM<\/a>, making for potentially unpleasant and stinky experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the temperature increases, so does our body\u2019s temperature, and then\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/science-of-sweating-temazcal\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/science-of-sweating-temazcal\/\">we sweat to regulate our temperature<\/a>,\u201d Dr. Sutera says. \u201cSweating is normal and natural, but when it&#8217;s excessive, and when it makes you smell, then that&#8217;s when people get very self-conscious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On top of increased sweat production, substances like rubber that you may wear more of during the summer don\u2019t absorb sweat. So you could find yourself sloshing around in a pool of your own sweat. (Pro tip: Opt for \u201ca flip flop or sandal that has a textured footbed that can also help your foot not slip as much because there&#8217;s a grip,\u201d says Dr. Sutera.

First, some sweat and odor problems do require medical attention, like odor caused by an infection. So if yours have recently become extra stinky, consider making a visit to your podiatrist to rule this out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/black-tea-how-to-stop-feet-from-sweating\/\" current-title=\"Soaking Your Feet in Black Tea Might Be the Secret to Stopping Foot Sweat In Its Tracks\" current-image=\"black-tea-foot-soak-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-01-10\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/black-tea-how-to-stop-feet-from-sweating\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/black-tea-how-to-stop-feet-from-sweating\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/black-tea-how-to-stop-feet-from-sweating\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But if normal sweat is giving you grief, you\u2019ll want to replace old shoes with new ones, since worn-in shoes can be a breeding ground for the bacteria that actually causes foot odor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFoot smell happens a lot because when your foot sweats, like inside a sneaker, it&#8217;ll absorb the sweat and then bacteria start to feed on the sweat,\u201d Dr. Sutera says. \u201c[Odor] is actually a byproduct from the bacteria.\u201d Old shoes rife with bacteria can make a sweaty foot problem worse.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve done an inventory of your closet, and still your feet are sweat factories, Dr. Sutera actually recommends a natural remedy anyone can do at home\u2014with enough tea bags.<\/p>\n<h2>How to stop feet from sweating using black tea<\/h2>\n<p>There is a substance in black tea called tannic acid that can act on sweat glands to reduce their activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s kind of like a natural antiperspirant,\u201d says Dr. Sutera. \u201cWhat the tannins do is temporarily shrink the sweat ducts so you&#8217;re not producing and releasing as much, and that also helps with the odor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t find tannic acid in herbal or green tea. It\u2019s gotta be the strong, black stuff. And Dr. Sutera advises that you need a high concentration of the tea in the water for it to be effective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to brew it in a way that&#8217;s so dark and so potent, like it&#8217;s not anything that you would ever drink,\u201d Dr. Sutera says. \u201cI don&#8217;t know that there&#8217;s an exact recipe, but let&#8217;s just say you want to make it at least five times stronger than how you would normally drink it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sutera recommends making a big batch of the super dark tea. Then, you can put a small amount into a tub or basin, and put your feet in there for about 10 minutes a night. You don\u2019t need to cover the whole foot; the tea should just envelop the bottom of your feet, since that\u2019s where the sweat glands are.<\/p>\n<p>Results won\u2019t be immediate. Dr. Sutera says the home remedy takes a few days to work. And it\u2019s also a short-term fix: Once you stop soaking regularly, the glands will resume their normal activity. But she does think it can be effective, and part of a larger foot self-care ritual. From her own experiences with black tea foot soaking, the tea acts as an exfoliant, too. So why not add some essential oils, and finish off the routine with some luxurious moisturizer? Dr. Sutera recommends one \u201cwith lactic acid that will help to exfoliate and soften callused skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are very conscious of their feet, especially in the spring and summer,\u201d Dr. Sutera says. \u201cUse the momentum of self-care here.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
