Wash your feet every day and dry them properly. Wash your feet thoroughly and make sure you dry them properly, especially in between your toes ÔÇô this helps to prevent athleteÔÇÖs foot and fungal infections.
Moisturise your feet regularly to prevent cracked, dry skin. ItÔÇÖs easy to forget to pamper your feet, but they need just as much care as the rest of your skin. Treat your feet to a foot cream at least once a day and use a massaging action to relieve tension in the foot.
Always trim your toenails straight across, not down at the edges ÔÇô this can cause ingrown toenails.
Gently remove hard skin and callouses using a pumice stone or a foot file.
Never ignore foot pain. If you are suffering from foot pain or irritation, keep an eye on it and see a podiatrist if the problem persists. There are many causes of foot pain and it can be an indicator of more serious health problems, so always get it checked out.
Shop for shoes in the afternoon to ensure a perfect fit. Our feet swell over the course of the day, so you make sure your shoes will fit your feet at their biggest.
Vary your heel heights. After a day in high heels, give your feet a rest. If you wear heels a lot, try to vary their heights and keep very high, thin heels for special occasions.
Never wear ill-fitting shoes ÔÇô no matter how fashionable! Wearing ill-fitting shoes can cause bunions, hammer toes, corns, blisters, callouses and ingrown toe-nails.
Change your socks every day to keep your feet clean and healthy.
Be sports shoe savvy. Wear the correct shoes for different types of sports and make sure they fit - wearing incorrect sports shoes can also lead to problems with the hips, knees and ankles.?á Another common mistake is to wear worn-out sports shoes - running shoes should be replaced for every 200 miles of use.
Standing up all day can play havoc with your feet so invest in supportive shoes and wear silicone insoles to cushion your feet.
Get your feet measured on a regular basis. Most adults donÔÇÖt measure their feet when they buy new shoes but the size of your feet will change gradually as you age. Get your feet measured regularly at a specialist shoe shop to make sure you are buying the right size.
Let your feet breathe. Sweaty feet and damp socks are a recipe for fungal infections. If your feet get sweaty, wash your feet when you get home, dry them carefully and put on breathable cotton socks.
Wear flip-flops in public areas such as pools, gym showers and hotel bathrooms to avoid verrucas and athleteÔÇÖs foot.
DonÔÇÖt forget your feet when applying sun cream! If you are wearing sandals or low cut shoes on a sunny day, be sure to apply sun cream just like you would to the rest of your body.
