| Never put your shoes near a radiator or other dry heat location. These can be breeding grounds for harmful germs that can harm your feet. It is also important to give your shoes time to air out after wearing them, because shoes build up moisture which will cause your shoes to start to smell.

| Wool is a fantastic insulator and absorbs more moisture than other materials, making wool socks the perfect choice for keeping your tootsies warm, dry and happy. Wool is hypoallergenic and antibacterial. It won't trap odours like synthetic socks do, meaning woollen socks will keep your feet smelling fresh.

What is Achilles Tendinopathy? 🦶

Achilles tendinopathy is a medical condition known to cause pain, swelling and stiffness of the Achilles tendon that joins your heel bone to your calf muscles. It is caused by repeated minuscule injuries to the Achilles tendon; most often, Achilles tendinopathy is found in runners as they typically overuse their tendons.

| One of the worst feelings in the wintertime is when you walk in slush and your shoes and socks get wet. It's gross but it's also damaging your skin. Moist feet will chill more quickly and cause calloused or sore feet. To avoid this, carry a spare pair of socks in your purse or bag and swap out wet socks for a fresh pair. Dry feet equal happy and healthy feet!

When you're taking a bath or shower, be sure to wash your feet well. This will prevent fungal build-up and other foot-related problems like ingrown toenails and athlete's foot. After washing your feet, make sure they are completely dry to avoid any fungi growth.

| Did you know that you can get socks with infused silver or copper? These are quite helpful in keeping heat in and moisture and bacteria away.

Materials such as merino wool are great for keeping warm and wicking moisture at the same time.

Doing toe curls builds up the flexor muscles of the toes and feet, improving overall strength.

To do this exercise:

1. Sit up straight in a chair, with the feet flat on the floor.
2. Lay a small towel on the floor in front of the body, with the short side facing the feet.
3. Place the toes of one foot on the short side of the towel. Try to grasp the towel between the toes and pull it toward oneself. Repeat this exercise five times before switching to the other foot.
4. To make this exercise more challenging, try weighing down the opposite end of the towel with an object.

The dry air of winter, as well as indoor heating, will cause painful fissures on your heels. Your skin can crack from all the dryness, and the fissures then provide a gateway for bacteria and fungi to enter, leading to infections.

Why not apply a good, rich moisturiser to your feet after you've bathed or showered? But, don't put too much on, because you don't want the cream between your toes to stay there and cause an infection 👣

| Damp feet get cold more easily and are prone to bacterial and viral infections. Foot powder can help keep your feet clean and dry.

Rolling a golf ball under the foot can help relieve discomfort in the arch and ease pain associated with plantar fasciitis.

To do this exercise:

1. Sit up straight in a chair, with the feet flat on the floor.
2. Place a golf ball — or another small, hard ball — on the floor next to the feet.
3. Lay one foot on the ball and move it around, pressing down as hard as is comfortable. The ball should be massaging the bottom of the foot.
4. Continue for 2 minutes, then repeat using the other foot.
5. A frozen bottle of water can be a soothing alternative if no suitable balls are available.

| To avoid sweaty feet, wear socks made from breathable materials like wool. Remove your socks if your feet turn white and your toes wrinkle.

There are some winter activities and sports that require special shoes, like skiing and ice skating. But this is not the case for most of them. If you're doing something like running or playing football, you should wear well-fitting shoes with at least some padding. Constricted circulation can make your feet feel cold and numb, so be aware of this.
