How to Wear Sandals and Keep Your Feet Clean

At the end of a long, hot, foot-exposed day, your piggies can look pretty disgusting. After all, sweaty feet are like magnets for dust and dirt. So how do you avoid unwanted foot filth? Here are four simple tips:
1. Get High
Wear sandals that have a higher foot bed. The raised sides keep more of the dirt from reaching your soles and toes.
2. Keep ’Em Natural
Sandals made from materials that breathe—like cork, leather, and rubber—absorb sweat. It’s one of the reasons we like Birkenstocks.

3. Wipe Away the Grime
Carry Wet Wipes in a travel pack, so you can wipe your feet off in private as needed. Then just dry your feet with a paper towel and re-sandal.
4. Get Rid of Dead Weight
Dirt likes to stick to rough, dry, and dead skin. Use a pumice stone regularly to scrub your heels and feet and keep them smooth.
