    Wearing shoes traps the sweat in and marinates your foot in it. Shoes are why feet smell bad in the first place.

      Not really…

      The smell is more due to fungus digesting the protein from dead skin, not just because of shoes. If you keep your feet clean and wear a fresh pair of socks with your shoes, fungus can’t really grab hold.
