Walking Into The New Year With Proper Foot Care

28 Dec Walking Into The New Year With Proper Foot Care

One of the best parts of the human experience is getting a clean slate on January 1st each year. If you’re looking to make some healthy changes in 2021, our team at Great Neck Family Foot Care recommends starting with your feet! These body parts allow for walking and bear most of your body weight, so their health should not be overlooked. Thus, our team would like to take this time to offer up some useful foot care tips and touch on how our services can be utilized for your benefit.

Wash Your Feet Daily

The first tip that will improve your foot health is to wash this area daily. Proper hygiene can help prevent infections and other issues that commonly plague the feet. Be sure to wash them in warm, soapy water before drying them off completely.

Wear The Right Shoes

Another great way to improve your feet health is to wear the right footwear. More insight needs to be made into the shoes you wear other than merely their looks. To keep your feet protected, you must focus on the below before putting any pair of shoes on your feet:

• They offer ample ankle and arch support.
• The toe box is wide enough to prevent friction.
• Shoes fit snuggly but not tight enough to cut off circulation.
• There is proper traction on the soles.

Additional Foot Health Tips

Here at Great Neck Family Foot Care, our team is well versed in keeping feet healthy and protected. To start the new year off with an increased focus on foot health, please take note of the additional foot health tips listed below:

• Trim your nails regularly.
• Limit the number of times you wear flats and flip flops.
• Moisturize daily.
• Wear socks that help keep your feet dry and warm.
