You are person that is on your feet all of the time. Perhaps your job requires you to stand or walk most of the day. Or perhaps you are just on your feet taking care all day of the kids at home. Regardless of your situation, improving the health of your feet is important.
There are many ways to improve foot heath. One of the best, and often overlooked ways, is to wear the right shoes. Everyone can tell horror stories about a pair of shoes that “killed” their feet. A bad pair of shoes can not only be a pain in the feet, but could also cause serious problems with your feet. If you are a worker that requires steel toed shoes, make sure that the toe area is wide enough to not pinch your toes. If you have high arches, be sure to buy shoes that are designed with high arch support to prevent fallen arches.
Make sure you shoes are comfortable. A poor fitting designer shoe or the latest fad shoe may be cool, but is often not worth the problems they can cause. Buying a comfortable shoe, such as an athletic shoe, if you are the type that is always on your feet, can pay dividends in the long run and may prevent soreness and more serious problems.
Taking care of you feet when you are not on them is also a way to improve the health of your feet. A good soaking is not pampering, but is a good way to relieve the stress of being on your feet all day.
