Foot Care: Corns, Calluses, Blisters and Pretty Shoes

The footwear that you wear plays a vital role in the health of your feet. In fact, many foot conditions can be traced back to improper and unsupportive footwear. Wearing the right shoes is always the best way to keep your feet healthy, but fashion doesn't always allow for sensible shoes. Summer is fast approaching which means that it will be even more difficult to find and wear the right shoes.

One of the most popular styles of footwear that people wear during the summer is the thong or flip-flop. The thong is positioned between the big toe and the first smaller toe. Blisters and other friction injuries are common. Not only are injuries between the toes common during the summertime, but blisters on the bottom of the feet are common as well. This is due to the unforgiving soles associated with sandals and beach shoes.

To keep your feet comfortable and injury free during the summer, you have to be smart. You can wear pretty sandals and thongs without fear of injury if you know how to protect yourself. The following tips will help you out:

• Take advantage of insoles. Peda Bella thong cushions are ideal for thongs. The cushions wrap around the thong to reduce friction and pressure between the toes.
• Keep your feet dry. Never wear shoes when your feet are wet. If your feet sweat a lot, use antiperspirant on the soles of your feet. Dry feet often. Use toesocks instead.
• Shoe selection is vital. There are many variations among styles. Be sure to choose the most sensible shoe available that matches the style that you desire.

Never go without shoes during the summer. Even when you are on the beach, you must protect your feet. Choose the right shoes and use the proper cushions for the type of shoe that you pick. Your feet will thank you for it.
