Sweaty feet are a problem that is uncomfortable to talk about, but even harder to endure. Men who spend a lot of time in closed shoes every day know well what it is like - constant moisture, unpleasant odor and embarrassment in the locker room or at home. And even the most expensive leather shoes or antiseptic insoles will not save if the cause is deeper - hyperhidrosis of the feet.
In this article, we will understand why excessive sweating of the feet occurs, how it is dangerous, and most importantly - how to treat it effectively.
🔍 What is foot hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis of the feet is excessive sweating in the foot area, which is independent of physical activity or ambient temperature. This is not just “sweating after a workout” — feet can be wet even at rest, in a cool office, or while sleeping.
🧔 Why do men face the problem more often?
Constant wear closed shoes
Working “on your feet” for 10+ hours
Sports load
Tendency to stress and hormonal fluctuations
Insufficient ventilation of the feet in winter
Genetic predisposition or endocrine disorders
🚨 What is the danger of constant sweating of the feet?
Unpleasant smell, which does not disappear after washing.
Fungal lesions feet and nails (mycoses, onychomycosis).
Skin maceration — when the epidermis is so moist that it loses its protective function.
Calluses and abrasionsthat do not heal.
Social discomfort — ashamed to take off my shoes, take off my sneakers in the gym, come visit.
❌ Why don't antiperspirants and pads work?
🧴 Foot deodorants and special insoles can temporarily reduce odor, but do not eliminate it excessive sweating.
Overactive sweat glands require medical approach, and not just cosmetic care.
✅ Treatment methods for foot hyperhidrosis in men
💉 Botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport)
This is the most effective and safest method of combating sweaty feet.
How does it work?

🔹 Course — 10–12 procedures

💊 Drug treatment
In some cases, the doctor may prescribe medications that suppress sweating systemically. But they have side effects, so they are used extremely rare and as indicated.

Change socks twice a day
Use antibacterial sprays
Shoes have to dry completely daily
Don't wear the same pair for several days in a row
