Our feet keep us on the move and if we don’t take care of them now, they’re going to develop foot ailments! Poor choices of footwear are a major reason for musculoskeletal foot problems, ingrown nails, toenail fungus, and smelly feet. Here’s a look at 5 tips to keep your feet healthy during summer.

  1. Keep Your Socks Clean

You can’t possibly be wearing the same socks all week. Rotating your socks to wear them once a week will keep them free from foul smell, germs, and bacteria. But if you have excessively sweaty feet, that’s the start of a problem. Fungus loves a warm, dark, and damp environment and your sweaty socks are perfect for them! If you want to remove your socks without worrying about smelly feet under the desk, copper compression socks are perfect for you. The copper-infused fabric destroys the bacteria that produce an odor to ensure they can be worn for multiple days.

  1. Choose Summer Footwear Carefully

Choosing the right summer footwear is crucial. While most store and virtual shelves spoil us with abundant choices of summer shoes on sale, you need to make sure that you’re picking footwear that suits your activity type, are appropriate for any problems with your feet, while protecting your feet and joints at the same time. Avoid buying footwear that is too tight for you, no matter how fancy they may seem. Tight footwear only leads to painful blisters.

  1. Keep Your Feet Protected From Sunburns And Lacerations

The more your feet are exposed to the sun, the more they’re being damaged. Since your feet are not exposed to the sun as much as the other parts of your body are, they’re more susceptible to sunburn and blisters. We may slather a ton of sunscreen on our face and arms, but we’re never concerned about our feet! Applying a good amount of sunscreen on your feet regularly will protect them from sunburns and lacerations. Sunburns can be painful and take a while to treat. Lacerations, on the other hand, may require stitches to treat, and additionally, X-rays may be performed to check for materials like glass or rock that may have penetrated the skin.

  1. Treat Hard Heel Skin And Toe Nails Discoloration

While cracked heels are not pleasing to look at, they’re quite painful too, especially when the summer sets in. For easy movement, summer shoes have thin soles, making heels take on more pressure as the feet touch the floor. With time, the skin on the heels hardens, forming calluses that only speed up when you keep walking barefoot. This is why athletes are particularly prone to hard skin on the feet. Discolored, thick, and opaque toenails are the bane of a carefree summer.

The most common cause of unattractive toenails is a chronic fungal infection. This infection can turn into pain and discomfort, and lead to more serious infections, especially diabetics. The best way to treat toenail discoloration is by choosing the right footwear. Sandals are the right choice as they allow plenty of light and air circulation while keeping the soles of your feet protected. For people with infections, doctors can prescribe safe prescription drugs that prevent foot and toenail fungus.

  1. Examine Your Feet For Problems

Examining your feet after you take a shower is a good way to check your feet for problems. When you dry your feet off, take a good look at the soles for scaling and between your toes for peeling areas. These signs could indicate athlete’s foot. Additionally, check for nail discoloration since it may lead to an infection. Diabetics should also inspect their feet regularly as they have a higher chance of foot sores and infections.

While most of us may not have the time to look after our feet the way we should be, these 5 simple and effortless tips will ensure a carefree summer for your feet.
