As part of this year’s Feet for Life Month in June, The Society of Chiropodists
and Podiatrists are launching their
Working Feet
campaign to give some helpful foot care advice on how working feet problems
can be avoided. The campaign urges everyone to be more aware of the dangers of hard working feet and hopes to encourage us to look after our feet properly and avoid foot, and associated health, problems in the future. Stephen Gardiner of A Foot Above, Bath Street, Ilkeston, said: “It’s important to wear comfortable shoes to work that fit properly. “Feet can spend hours in the same shoes and if your feet hurt it can affect your concentration, efficiency and attitude to work. Ignoring painful feet could also lead to problems in the long term. “Wearing your killer heels to the office everyday may be super stylish, or squeezing your feet into uncomfortable or ill-fitting shoes might mean not having to buy new ones, but it can be murder for your feet. “Wearing the wrong type of shoes for long periods can cause a range of problems from blisters, corns and calluses to serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints.” For more information on looking after working feet contact Stephen Gardiner on 0115 932 8832.
