Feet get sweaty in work!! (Yum.) - July 10th 2013, 01:30 PM

So this is a bit embarrassing cos it's kind of gross, but basically I work in what has to be the warmest building in Dublin and I'm on my feet for the whole shift, standing and moving around and lifting things up and down stairs etc. (I'm a catering assistant/waitress.) I find that I end up sweating a lot in work - we all do. Our uniform being all black and involving a long apron and having a shirt buttoned up to the neck doesn't help.

The company have provided us with 'safety shoes' that I have to wear as part of my uniform and leave in the changing room between shifts, and my feet get really sweaty in them. I have to wear them whenever I work and I'm worried that they'll start to smell. Wearing socks or tights make it unbearably warm. I wash my feet every day and use deodorant on them but it doesn't help much. I've considered insoles but are they expensive?? Are there any easier ways to help??
