Here are some tips to keep your feet in good condition.
- Wear high percentage natural fibre socks, eg. cotton, wool, or bamboo that are not tight.
- Wear good supportive shoes, rather than slippers around the house.
- Wash your feet regularly and dry them well.
- Check your feet weekly for dry skin, cracks, blisters or sores.
- Footfile and moisturise your feet, at least once a week.
- On a sunny day, sit with your foot over a mirror on the floor, to check the sole of your feet to ensure no sores or problems that may need treating, as you may not feel them.
- Walk around to gently exercise regularly to keep good circulation and muscle tone.
- Put your feet up on a stool at the middle of the day, to boost circulation, and wiggle your toes and stretch them often to get the blood flowing.
