We often neglect to care for our feet and instead take them for granted. Unless they hurt us, we forget all our feet do for us. This is true despite chronic foot problems impacting all other parts of our lives. There are easy things we can do to care for our feet and ensure foot health throughout our lives. Some simple foot care tips include wearing properly fitting shoes, washing, drying, and moisturizing the feet daily, and cutting nails straight across. Feet should be measured regularly and especially if you plan to buy a new pair of shoes. If one foot is larger than the other, opt for the shoe size that fits the bigger foot. Shoes should not need a break-in period to become comfortable. They should be comfortable from the get-go. If you have a desire to best care for our feet, consult with a chiropodist who can best guide you in this endeavor.

Caring for your feet is not just something done at the chiropodist’s office. Good foot care starts at home.
