9. Footwear
One of the most effective ways to reduce the likelihood of getting a toenail fungal infection is to use the right type of foot wear. The best types are those that allow air to circulate, letting the feet ‘breathe’. It is also best to wear socks that help to absorb sweat, and you should also change your socks in the day.
Footwear can also be treated with antifungal powders and/or disinfectants, while it can also help to discard shoes that are old and worn. As mentioned, footwear is also available that will help to keep you protected in locker rooms and in poolside areas.
