Three important things to do every day
Check your feet daily
Look at the soles of your feet, between your toes and around your heels every day. Check for wounds, redness, blisters, swelling or changes in skin color.
Keep your feet clean and dry
Wash your feet gently with lukewarm water and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes. Avoid exposing your feet to direct heat.
Wear appropriate footwear
Wear comfortable, closed shoes that are not too tight. Check inside your shoes before putting them on to make sure there is nothing that could injure your foot.
