5 Care Tips

1. Wash your feet often - Don’t go to bed without washing your feet. If you leave dirt on the skin’s surface, it can become irritated and infected. Wash your feet every evening with soap and water.

2. Dry your feet well - Dry your feet thoroughly after washing them, especially between the toes which is where germs such as Athlete's foot can easily breed. Then, apply a moisturising foot cream (not body lotion).

3. Remove hard skin - Gently remove hard skin and calluses with a pumice stone or foot file regularly.

4. Cut toenails carefully - Always trim your toenails straight across, never at an angle or down the edges. This can cause ingrown toenails.

5. Shoe shop in the afternoon - Shop for shoes in the afternoon. Feet swell as the day goes on and if shoes fit in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest, you can be assured they will always be comfortable.
