If you only wash your feet with water, sweat, dust, and bacteria will remain on your feet (athlete’s foot will develop on the soles of your feet or between your toes).
If you have been to a sauna, or swimming pool where you walk barefoot, you must wash your feet with soap (if you step on dead skin cells mixed with athlete's foot bacteria, athlete's foot bacteria will attach to your feet).
  Don't just roughly pour water on it.
Always wash with soap to prevent athlete's foot
