Top tips for foot-care in the heat

Who doesn't love summer?! Longer days, busy social calendars, eating and drinking outside - there are so many things to enjoy about the summer season, but the hot weather can come with its downsides; including hot, sweaty or puffy feet.

Even if you have been preparing your feet for sandal season, do you know how to protect and maintain your foot health in the blazing summer sun?

Say goodbye to hot, sweaty and uncomfortable feet with our top tips on how to treat your feet in the heat.


How can the heat be rough on your feet?

The most common foot complaints from the heat are hot, sweaty and smelly feet. Not only are these uncomfortable, but they can trigger a more severe health issue, as they are more prone to infection.

Swelling and inflammation is another frequent foot complaint found during summer. This is due to the increase in temperature & humidity combined with the boost in activity levels.

People are more active in summer but wear less supportive shoes, which can cause foot pain and other injuries. Equally, wearing tight, closed shoes increases moisture, which increases the risk of bacterial & fungal infections, i.e. Athlete’s Foot. Walking barefoot can also cause corns & blisters, as well as cracks in the skin.


How do you treat hot, sweaty feet?

Start off by wearing comfortable, aerated and supportive shoes to prevent sweat and decrease the risk of infection.
