So, is the author pro-sweaty-feet or anti-sweaty-feet?
Goody, more fear porn. Dirty feet and socks are not really a problem, beyond the odor. Just put on clean socks when they get dirty or start to smell.
Which is why you always put on a sock and a sock, then a shoe and a shoe.
So toe jam is really a lot like yogurt mixed with blue cheese and magic mushrooms for the high?
Very simple to have clean feet and non smelly shoes or boots. Wash feet and toes thoroughly. Blow dry. Use powder and anti fungal spray. Good to go.
So going barefoot must be deadly.
I wonder how much they spent on this study to prove what everybody already knows, i.e., that your feet - just like every other part of your body - can accumulate bacteria which can also cling to your clothes.
It took Primrose Freestone to give us this bombshell report.
Merino wool socks are the bomb!
Quite Interesting, considering it is by two different Freepers and wrong article under the first title:

Your socks pick up microbes from every surface you step foot on. (Photo by K-FK on Shutterstock) ================================================================= Your feet are microbial hotspots. The area between your toes is packed with sweat glands, and when we wrap our feet in socks and shoes, we trap that moisture in a warm, humid cocoon that’s ideal for microbial growth. In fact, your feet may be home to a miniature rain forest of bacteria and fungi, with anywhere from 100 to 10 million microbial cells per square centimeter of skin surface.

Now, one of them is deleted. But I still have the page up, where it is not deleted.
How does this happen?
These stories are everyday common now but they used to be hidden away in the parts of the newspaper that women read (there was a woman’s section), and in women’s magazines.
In our feminized society today, men are exposed everyday to these deadly/healthful eggs and deadly/healthful coffee, dirty socks, sleeping positions, Taylor Swift, microwave your sponge, Brad Pitt dating, Kardashians do something, Kanye West, stay out of the sun stories, while the public remains ignorant of the dry national news and world news that was almost the entire information world for men until the breakdown of post 1970 America.
No wonder younger males seem so infantile and trivial and angry, ignorant, passion has replace thoughtfulness and knowledge, and being informed.
quite shocking...dirt and whatever else getting on close that you wear...
I guess that means we better start washing our clothes?
I hang our laundry out and since I've been doing that, we've had no problem with foot odor.
and its only getting worse with global warming!!
This is why wearing flip flops is awesome. Except in Minnesota in the winter.
Seems you have describe James Carville.
“we trap that moisture in a warm, humid cocoon that’s ideal for microbial growth”
Kind of like wearing a mask, but without skin to act as a barrier
