I think men often confront with the problem of feet sweating, it's a very unpleasant feeling. I want to share some advices I was told about how to reduce it:
* Excess stress on the feet can aggravate sweating. Ensure shoes fit properly and rest your feet up as much as possible, especially if you have a job which tends to keep you on your feet.
* Getting too hot will make the sweating worse. Keep your overall body temperature cool, especially in hot weather. Most importantly, allow the skin on your feet to 'breathe' by taking off shoes and socks and going barefoot as much as possible, or investing in open-toed sandals (there are some very fashionable ones around at the moment for both women and men). Leather shoes are much better than ones with man-made materials.
* Socks should be made of a material which absorbs water well, such as cotton or wool. Throw out those nylon socks right now!
* Use an astringent or talcum powder on your feet every morning after your shower. Try different ones to find the one which suit you best. Alternatively, you can try using surgical spirit.
