FOOT HEALTH TIPS
Ensure your shoes are wide enough. If your shoes are not wide enough, it is possible for your feet to be pressed and rub against the sides of your shoe which can end up leading to corns, calluses, blisters or bunions forming.
Check your feet daily. If you have any form of damage or change to the skin or shape of your foot, it can lead to loss of skin and the forming of wounds or foot ulcers. If you have neuropathy, you may not feel whether your shoes are uncomfortable or causing any damage to your feet. Make sure to check your feet daily for any signs of damage or change.
Get your shoes fitted professionally. Don’t be tempted to buy online or just try one shoe on. Often feet can be slightly different sized. By having your shoes professionally fitted, you will be less likely to have any problems in the future.
Avoid high heels and pointy ended shoes. It is best to avoid shoes such as high heels as they can put high amounts of inappropriate pressure on feet. Also, try to pick shoes that match the shape of your foot and avoid pointy ended shoes that will add pressure and discomfort.
