Hot weather plus bare feet means sweat — which leads to slipping, rubbing and odor. Here's how to keep your feet drier and more comfortable in sandals.
Why do feet sweat in sandals?
Feet have a lot of sweat glands, and in heat (especially a UAE summer) they work overtime. Trapped moisture on a smooth footbed makes your foot slide — the cause of rubbing and blisters.
How to keep feet drier
- Wipe the footbed regularly so moisture and oils don't build up. More on keeping sandals fresh.
- Let sandals air out fully between wears — rotate pairs or tops if you can.
- Choose open, breathable styles so air moves around your foot.
- Secure straps reduce the sliding that sweat causes.
Breathable by design
Open sandal styles on a wipe-clean footbed keep your feet cooler and easier to freshen up. See the bases.
