Walking into Winter

It's that time of year again, when the temperature drops, leaves fall, nights draw in and you have to force your feet back into the shoes you discarded before the summer. Quite a pinch, isn't it? Could it be possible your shoes have shrunk?

It is true, as we head back into winter, what so many of us drag out of the back of the shoe cupboard and end up wearing can be poorly fitting at best, and at worst, too tight. Result - sore feet, painful corns, unsightly hard skin, and you are left wondering where you went wrong.

Feet face a hard time in the coming months. Marathon shopping trips, office parties, social events and more. Make sure they are ready for it. Give your feet a service. Give your feet an MOT. Give your feet the treat they deserve.

Here are some simple tips. Make sure you are buying the right shoe size and measure to your longest toe, which might not be your big toe but your second. Check the width of the fitting. Keep high heels for special occasions. Treat your feet with respect and look after them. Comfort is very important. Why not start with a visit to an experienced chiropodist or look around the website especially at the ‘Top Tips' .
