Is there really such a thing as "naturally sweaty feet"?

    I was reading about keeping feet fresh and what can cause foot/shoe odour, I don't have any problems with my own feet, but I have always been interested in foot care and I saw a number of websites had posts that referred to how some people have "naturally sweaty feet". Is there such a thing? I know some people's feet can sweat more than others, but surely anyone's feet would only be properly sweaty if they wear shoes and/or socks for a long period

    It’s been close to and over 100 for several days, locally, and I took last week mostly off, meaning, no shoes.

    I’m not typically sweaty, but my feet were a tad moist.

    Sometimes it can simply be a footbed, like in my hyper minimal slip ons for work, that catches perspiration.

    Feet sweat. It varies by individual, but yes.

    Try going to a sauna. Sweaty feet guaranteed. Feet sweat, same as any other human body part. They certainly have the glands for it.

    I don’t have that problem I haven’t worn socks or shoes in 33 years.

    Did you have problems with feet sweating before you stopped wearing shoes and socks?

    I am from England and not many people go barefoot here, with the exception of the town of Glastonbury in south west England, it's Britain's real hippie town and barefooters are regular there. Glastonbury is best known for its music festival that's held a few miles from the town, but it's sadly got too commercial in recent years
