I've heard of people putting antiperspirant on their feet for expeditions and whatnot, but I'm just looking to reduce sweating to help combat wet foot issues in general. What antiperspirant do people use for their feet? Is it bad for you?
Rhino makes a couple different ones they say you can use on your feet. Haven't tried them. Couldn't say if they're any worse for you than whatever you use for normal deodorant though.
I've had prescription strength liquid antiperspirant in the past. Used it prior to launch for extended days in cold climates. Seemed to work ok.
Used to use just a spray on antiperspirant on my feet for general use in winter when I didn't want my feet sweet to damp out my socks. I used Arid XX dry in aerosol form.
I see you can get roll on with 15% aluminum chloride. That's what I'd used in the past. No ill effects for me. Except I can't remember where I parked my car...(ha ha).
I think folks who use it excessively get dry cracks that can get inflamed and infected.

Nothing weird about my foot fetish.
Thanks for the tip
