  shoes instead²

  When at home, take off shoes to let feet air out³

  Avoid wearing tight, closed shoes (especially vinyl or rubber ones) that
  make your feet hot and sweaty — particularly during the summer^3,4

  Wear socks made from breathable materials, like cotton, rather than
  materials that absorb and hold sweat, like polyester⁴

  Never borrow or share shoes³

  Wear different shoes throughout the week to let shoes dry out³

  Dust feet and shoes with antifungal powder²
