Added advice

In order to help keep their feet healthy, advise customers to:

  • Wear properly fitting shoes that don’t rub and aren’t too tight
  • Wear flip-flops in communal areas such as changing rooms and showers to avoid verrucas and athlete’s foot
  • Keep the feet clean, dry them properly after a bath, shower or swimming and let air get to the toes when possible
  • Wear cotton socks and change them everyday
  • Alternate between different pairs of shoes so that they have the chance to dry out before being worn again
  • Avoid sharing towels with someone who has an infectious foot problem such as a verruca, athlete’s foot or a fungal nail infection.
