Kick feet woes

The rains are here again and so are foot problems. Blisters, heel pains, cracked heel and bad odour are some of the worries that the rain brings in. Here are a few tips to keep these issues at bay:

*Always keep your feet warm. Try and avoid stepping into murky water, and if you do walk through dirty water, wash your feet with a medicated soap, rinse and then soak your feet in warm salt water solution.

* Avoid wearing flat shoes or being barefoot on a rainy day.
* Even if the weather is damp, proper moisturising of the feet is a must.
