Keeping your feet clean and dry.
Dry between your toes after swimming or bathing.
Wear leather shoes or sandals that allow your feet to breathe.
When indoors, wear socks without shoes.
Wear cotton socks to absorb sweat. Change your socks twice a day. (White socks do not prevent athlete's foot, as some people believe.)
Use talcum or antifungal powder on your feet.
Allow your shoes to air for at least 24 hours before you wear them again.
Wearing shower sandals in public pools and showers.

| | Wear sandals in public locker rooms and swimming areas. |
| | Do not wear someone else's shoes, especially if that person has athlete's foot. |
| | Thoroughly clean home showers and floors where family members walk barefooted to avoid spreading the fungus. |
