It varies. Blisters, calluses, hot spots and abrasions usually occur in the toe, heel and pad of the foot. These are the most important areas to have the low friction lining. However, some shoe manufacturers prefer to line the entire shoe with the same material, so the low friction lining could be knit throughout the entire shoe. The type of shoe also plays a part in deciding where to put the lining.

Hyperhydrosis is a condition in which the sweat glands are over productive resulting in excessive perspiration. This condition is most common in adolescents and young adults. Each of us has its own set point for our metabolism. This set point is somewhat like the thermostat in our homes. Some folks have a higher set point than others. For some, this may be due to anxiety, stress, hyperthyroidism, hypoadrenalism or excessive fluid intake. For others, it's just their natural metabolic set point.

My feet tend to get very sweaty in summer, what can I do?

FAQ
There are more sweat glands per inch of our feet than anywhere else in our body - so it's not surprising that many people suffer from sweaty feet, especially in warm weather. For minor problems wash feet morning and evening in warm, soapy water, then dry thoroughly. You can also use an antibacterial wash, which helps deal with foot odour, too. Then apply surgical spirit and dust the feet with talc. Going barefoot whenever you can will help, as will wearing open-toed sandals.

Strange but true, there are more sweat glands per inch of our feet than anywhere else in the body. Sweating is perfectly natural and provided good foot hygiene is maintained then even the wettest foot will present fewer problems. Increased temperatures around the foot either through exercise of environmental causes, increase the rate of perspiration. The absence of aeration and build up of fluid within the skin tissues may cause deterioration especially in the presence of certain bacteria.
