7 Keys to Your Foot Health

7. Throw Out Old, Worn Shoes

If you have shoes that are old and worn, you should throw these shoes OUT.

Also, please note that you can also have new shoes that have aged and become LESS IDEAL to wear such as shoes  sitting on a shoe shelf somewhere with shoe glue drying out or shoes with air pocket cushions dissipating. Another thing to watch out for regarding your foot health is… SALES! SALES!! SALES!!! Yes, you’ll often find that these types of sales may include some shoes that are ultimately not good for your feet.

So, a good question to ask is:
How long has the store had these shoes?

Hmmm… perhaps the store clerk may not tell you this, but it’s good to consider just how “new” those shoes really are. Athletic shoes typically last up to 500 miles. If you’re actively using your shoes, consider changing shoes every 6  months or so. You could also recycle old or worn shoes rather than throwing such shoes in the trash.

We see that taking care of our feet involves being mindful of different aspects related to the health of our feet and what we wear on our feet. If you do want to wear high heels, anything over 2 inches can be linked to problems associated with the feet and heel pain is the most popular type of foot pain, while bunions are more likely found in women than in men.

Wearing shoes can help protect the feet! However, we need shoes that provide adequate support and footwear that protects us from becoming infected with fungus, which causes conditions like athlete’s foot. Viruses could also infect the feet and cause conditions like plantar warts. Other conditions that affect the feet include arthritic gout which is a swollen toe, calluses and corns caused by thickened skin and in-grown toe nails caused by cutting nails too short.
