THE BEST SHOE
for you
Our feet are the subject of numerous jokes and puns. For instance: Did you hear about the person who injured his feet while in the middle of the road? He had to call a toe truck. We have expressions such as putting your foot in your mouth, being swept off your feet, footing the bill, and getting your feet wet. So, why is it that many of us don’t pay enough attention to foot care? We walk on our feet every day, averaging more than 5,000 steps and our feet are responsible for carrying our weight from the time we take our first steps. Taking your feet for granted can lead to many issues, from painful bunions, callouses, and ingrown nails to infections such as athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. And aching feet can alter how we walk, affecting our legs, knees, hips, and lower back.
