- Wearing a more supportive sandal such as Vionic , Keen or Croc that is approved by Belton podiatrists will provide more comfort and support than a traditional flip flop.
- If your heels become dry, rough and cracked using a pumice stone and a urea based cream like Carmol 20 or Revitaderm (which is available in the office) will help keep your heels smooth. Use a pumice stone after a shower and apply the cream daily. If dryness persist, contact your podiatrists in Belton for further recommendations.
- Do your feet get sweaty in the summer? Are your kids feet stinky? Applying Certain Dry after a shower daily will help, Certain Dry is an over the counter antiperspirant. That reduces sweating and odor. Using a synthetic sock with moisture wicking properties keeps your feet dry
- Are your toenails discolored from your polish? Make a paste of baking soda and water and scrubbing the nail bed will improve the appearance.
- Belton MO podiatrists remind patients to remember to replace your athletic shoes after a year of use. The soles won’t be worn out but the cushioning material will be. Check the list of shoes on our website.
