PROPER FOOT CARE
Take care of your feet. Follow these tips:
-
• Wash feet every day with soap and water and dry them well, especially between the toes (remember, fungi love warm, damp places)
-
• Don’t walk barefoot in public areas—wear flip-flops, sandals, or water shoes instead
-
• When at home, take off shoes to let feet air out
-
• Avoid wearing closed shoes (especially vinyl or rubber ones) that make your feet hot and sweaty—particularly during the summer
-
• Change your socks regularly. If your feet sweat often, change your socks each time they get wet
-
• Never borrow or share shoes
-
• Wear different shoes throughout the week to let shoes dry out
