Tips to keep your feet in top shape
-
Always wear comfortable shoes, if possible made of leather.
-
It is best to buy new shoes at the end of the day. In the morning, the foot is slimmer, less swollen.
-
When possible, wear shoes with special stimulating and massaging inner soles.
-
Walk barefoot frequently, preferably on grass or sand which is also beneficial for ankles.
-
Sleep with feet slightly raised.
-
Never go barefoot in public areas like swimming pools and saunas where bacteria proliferate and disagreeable mycoses are easy to catch.
-
Have regular pedicures to remove corns and large callouses.
-
Consult a dermatologist in case of infections or cracks in the skin.
