6 Tips for Healthy Summer Feet

I’m a firm believer in taking care of your feet 👣. So when I delveloped this awful pain in my heel I thought it was a heal spur. Nope, that’s not what it was, it was however Plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, tissue in the foot used during walking and foot movement. My plants fasciitis is caused by my foot structure and the type of shoes I’m wearing (flats I’m always in flats). So while at podiatrist I asked him how should I take care of my feet in the summer.

Here are a 6 tips my podiatrist said to keep your feet healthy in the summertime.

1. Wear sunscreen on the little piggies 🐷 and any part of your feet that are exposed to the sun.

2. Moisturizer 🧴 on your feet is very necessary for avoiding dry cracked feet.

3. Wash your feet after wearing open shoes, or sandals 👡

4. Twice a week wipe in between your toes with rubbing alcohol.

5. Do not stay in wet shoes, either sweaty or water soaked shoes. Dry feet completely always.

The last one will be very controversial!!!

6. Try your best to avoid the nail salons, as you tend to pick up all sorts of stuff, not just the latest nail color there.

I’m not saying I got a toenail fungus from the nail salon, but… I had gotten toenail fungus on both my big toes, which I visited him for in March and he practically give me magic in a bottle. Told me to paint it on every night and not to wear any nail polish during that time and by the start of summer it will be gone. He was so right about the nail fungus being gone. I got cute toenails again, now I do my own pedicures.

Take care of your feet this summer and always. They are important to your balance and wellbeing in this world. Your feet are doing important work everyday by holding you up and taking you where you want to go.
