Other Foot Care Products

Whether working or exercising, we all spend an enormous amount of time on our feet. Aside from using orthotics, there are many things we could do in order to keep our feet in top notch shape.

 

General Foot Care Tips

  • Wash your feet daily. Rinse off all soap and dry thoroughly, especially between toes.
  • Trim nails straight across, and not too short. Don't cut out or dig at corners.
  • Do not trim, shave, or use over-the-counter medicines to dissolve corns or calluses
  • Wear clean socks or stockings, changed daily. Don't wear any that are too short or too tight.
  • Ensure your shoes fit well.

 

The Right Fit for Your Shoes:

  • Only you can tell if shoes fit. If they aren't comfortable, don't buy them!
  • Don't plan on shoes stretching with wear. If you already own shoes that are too tight, ask your shoe repair shop if they can be stretched.
  • Because feet spread with age, have your feet measured every time you buy shoes. Both feet should be measured as they are often different sizes. Always buy shoes for the BIGGEST foot.
  • Go shoe shopping late in the afternoon. Feet swell to their largest then.
  • Size depends on shoe make and style, too. Don't insist you always wear one size if the next feels better.
  • The toe box should be roomy enough so you can wiggle all your toes.
  • Your forefoot should NOT be wider than your shoe.
  • The heel should fit snugly and the instep should not gape open.
  • If you can't find shoes that fit, ask your doctor for advice.

There are also many products available on the market today (including inserts, heel cushions, night splints, stretching aids and ankle supports) for a variety of foot disorders.
