Ask yourself this - When Did You Last Clean Inside Your Shoes?
Our feet are still firmly wrapped up in winter boots and shoes… but here’s something to think about:
How often do you clean the inside of your footwear?
Most of us wouldn’t dream of wearing the same socks day after day without washing them – yet many people put their feet back into the same uncleaned shoes every single morning.
Warm, enclosed footwear creates the perfect home for sweat, bacteria and even fungal spores. Over time this can lead to unpleasant odours, irritated skin and an increased risk of fungal infections.
At Sole at Heart Clinic, we always say:
👣 Treat your shoes as carefully as you treat your feet
👣 Air them out after wearing
👣 Rotate pairs to allow them to dry fully
👣 Use an antibacterial or antifungal spray
👣 Wash or replace insoles when needed
👣 And of course – fresh socks every day!
Healthy feet start with healthy habits.
