Get To Know The Footwear Adhesive

---

Foot adhesive is a product used to attach the product to the sole of the foot for health purposes

Footwear containing substances such as bamboo, wood vinegar, crystals, pyroligenous acids and chitosan are often said to be effective in removing toxins from the body, losing weight and so on.

The effectiveness of this product is often highlighted by the color change on the foot adhesive after it has been applied overnight.

However, experts believe the change is due to the presence of dead skin cells and impurities in the soles of the feet.

It is also thought to be caused by the interaction of the body's sweat and the adhesive content of the footwear.
