Oh my aching feet

There are few things that can bring a person down as quickly as a problem with their foot can. What can you do to prevent this?
1. Wear shoes that fit well.  Before you go shopping for shoes, make a tracing of your foot, place that on each pair of shoes that you would like to try on.  If your foot is wider then the shoe, that is NOT the shoe for you!!
2. Shop for your shoes at the end of the day.  This is when your feet will be most swollen.
3. Get more then one pair of shoes.  This will allow your shoes dry out in-between wearing.
4. Check your feet daily, if you notice any rashes, red spots, swelling or other problems, get to your Podiatrist immediately.
5. Ingrown-toenails, warts, ulcers, infections and other problems, require immediate attention.
