Like other important parts of your body, your feet need proper care. A little attention pays big dividends in better health and happiness; for, as it has often been said, “when your feet hurt, you hurt all over.” And this can be true. Your feet can cause you to become nervous and irritable. They can give you headaches, make your leg and back muscles ache, cause nausea, ruin your appetite and generally upset your entire body. These are certainly good reasons for taking good care of them.
Probably the first concern in foot care is the choosing of your shoes. When choosing shoes, here are a few things to keep in mind: All-leather soles and sides give perspiration a better chance to evaporate. (If perspiration is a problem in hot weather, sandals are helpful.) Rubber heels are recommended for shoes as they reduce shock. Fitting is best done toward the end of the afternoon because your feet tend to swell as the day progresses. Measure both feet, for one is often a little larger than the other, and then fit the longest foot. Allow for at least a half inch clearance in length so that your toes can move freely. It is unwise to try to “break in” uncomfortable shoes.
Fashion is no respecter of foot comfort or health, and this is particularly true in women’s footwear. High heels, narrow and pointed toes are contrary to the structure of the feet, and are important factors in causing women to have four times as much foot trouble as men.
For the sake of the children it is wise not to try to save by buying long-wearing shoes. They may need new shoes as often as every four to eight weeks when they are two to six years old.
With young children tight socks can cause deformities, therefore, “stretchies” would bear watching. With the very young, care should also be taken that crib sheets are not tucked around their soft little foot bones.
