Your feet carry you throughout your life, and just like any other part of your body, they need daily care to keep them healthy. Good foot care starts with good footwear. Look for shoes and socks that are comfortable, supportive, fit properly, and are made from breathable materials. Avoid wearing shoes that are tight, narrow, or have excessively high heels. Give your feet an easy workout by going on a walk and doing some simple foot stretches. Wash your feet daily using lukewarm water and mild soap and be sure to dry the feet thoroughly. Moisturize your feet, particularly the soles and heels, to prevent dry, cracked skin. To learn more about good foot care practices, please consult with a chiropodist.
