Wash
and rotate socks and shoes
Needless
to say, your socks should be changed every day to prevent the buildup of
moisture and dead skin —sometimes more than once, if you’re particularly sweaty
or it’s really hot out. To ensure they’re cleaned all the way through, turn
them inside-out before throwing them in the washing machine.
Shoes
are a bit different. Certain pairs can be washed on occasion without doing
damage to the materials—simply read the care instructions and make sure they
dry completely—but many cannot. Either way, it’s important to rotate shoes
daily, and air out used pairs. "Try not to wear the same pair of shoes two
days in a row," says Dr. Kosinski. "And at the end of the day, don’t
throw your shoes in a dark closet. Instead, allow them to air out in a well-lit,
ventilated spot."
Dr.
Schwartz concurs, adding: "Dry shoes as soon as possible if they get wet
or damp."
