Half a Pint a Day

Keeps the Heat Away (from your feet)

The average foot can produce about half a pint (approximately 240 milliliters) of sweat per day! With around 250,000 sweat glands in each foot, they work hard to keep your feet cool—even if that means creating a mini puddle in your socks. 


So, next time you feel your shoes getting a bit damp, just remember: your feet are simply working overtime to stay chill!
