Not athete's shoes

Untrap the moisture

Itchy feet? I wonder why we get athlete's foot but not athlete's hand. I strongly suspect, admittedly without any evidence at all, that it's due to excess humidity in the sweaty air trapped round around the toenail, in turn encouraging fungal growth.

Enter the answer: a shoe or a slipper incorporating a tiny fan (Link). I'm pretty confident that there could be internal ducts which enable it to pull fresh air in over the toes, and discretely exhaust at the heel end.
