Even though high heel shoes can be such a pain, a lot of women still wear them because they look good and they command authority. They make your legs appear longer, your body thinner and they make your butt stand out. Now, who wouldn’t want those as their default image? Because of these look-better (and other professional) reasons, a lot of women wear them everyday.
Everyday high heel use can not only lead to pain in the calves but also with bad odor. Now, here are some few quick tips about removing bad odor from your beloved high heel shoes:
-
Mind your feet
For starters, your feet must be fresh and clean. This is to make sure that you are doing your best for avoiding bacteria and their possible build up. After you make sure that it is clean, keep them dry.
-
Try baking soda
If you put baking soda inside your shoes and leave them there overnight, it’s likely that odor won’t develop there. Baking soda has cleansing and antibacterial properties. Even toothpaste and bathroom detergents often have baking soda in them.
-
Disinfect
Kill germs, kill bacteria. They are the major causes of odor. Disinfect your shoes by using a disinfectant spray which may double as a deodorant. They will target the odor causing bacteria more than eliminating the bad odor. Make this a daily habit for maximum prevention.
-
Wash your shoes
Clean feet is not everything, the shoes must also be clean too. A lot of us just wipe the outsides of the shoes and the heels because actually washing the shoes can take a lot more effort…and time. However, you have to wash your shoes regularly, like once or twice a week, depending on your frequency of use. This also helps in disinfecting and in keeping the material looking pristine.
Yes, beauty comes with a price. So learn to be responsible for your high heel shoes and it will pay you back in increments of fabulousness!
