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 professional pedicures to remove corns and large callouses.
Consult a dermatologist in case of infections or cracks in the skin.
