Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has long been praised as a natural cure-all. From supporting digestion to giving skin a healthy glow, its list of supposed benefits is surprisingly long. Recently, I came across claims about using it as a foot soak and decided to test it out myself. After 15 minutes of soaking, I was curious to see if the hype lived up to reality.

Why Apple Cider Vinegar for Feet?

ACV has become a go-to in home foot care thanks to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. People swear by it for fighting stubborn foot odor, soothing athlete’s foot, and even softening tough calluses. Because it helps balance skin’s pH, it’s often recommended as a gentle, natural option for tired or problem-prone feet.
