The feet are one of the most important parts of our body, because they bear all the weight.

80% of the population suffers from foot pain, problems that can be as severe as chronic pain in the arch of the foot, or milder, such as occasional chafing. The foot is made up of 26 bones, 56 ligaments and 38 muscles, due to this complexity it is not surprising that poorly fitting or poor quality footwear has repercussions on disorders or discomforts on our feet.

Foot pain is the third most common reason for medical consultations.

A person at 50 years of age is estimated to have walked more than 100,000 kilometers. Keeping our feet healthy and cared for is critical to our mental and physical health. If you suffer from chronic or occasional foot pain, these tips can help you:

Keep your feet clean and neat.

A good practice is to submerge your feet in warm water and a little salt for 15 minutes every night, this will help us to relax and make our feet discharge the accumulated tension during the day.

Give them a little massage.

There are thousands of nerves and pressure points on your feet, a gentle massage sends signals to your brain that help you relax. A little cream will facilitate the massage and keep the skin of our feet hydrated, gently rub the arches and stretch your toes.

Keep your feet elevated.

Feet foot pain can be caused by many reasons and not necessarily due to the use of inappropriate footwear. If you spend many hours on your feet, it is highly recommended to calm your feet after a long day, keep them elevated so that they are above your heart. In this way we achieve an increase in blood circulation, with the multiple benefits that this brings us. Sit on the couch with your feet up on a pillow in a chair in front of you.

Wear suitable footwear.

One of the most common causes for which our feet hurt is due to the use of inadequate or low-quality footwear. If you suffer from foot pain, think about whether the shoes you wear are suitable for your daily activity. An excessively high heel, or a too thin sole are not the best options to end the day without foot discomfort. It is highly recommended to invest in a good pair of shoes, we all like to have very varied models, but it is preferable to have only one pair and that it is of the best possible quality, our feet will thank us.

Choose the correct size.

Make sure your shoes are not too loose or too tight. Your feet dilate as the day progresses, if your shoes feel tight in the morning, in the afternoon they will most likely squeeze you more. If, on the other hand, the shoes are too loose, the feet will move inside your shoes, rubbing on the sides and on the toe, which may cause blisters, chafing or injuries.

If you use insoles, choose the appropriate models to be able to put them inside the shoes.

If you use custom anatomical, physiological or orthopedic insoles, look for the shoe models that best adapt to use with insoles, nowadays there are many models with removable insole, this way it will be easier for you to exchange them for yours.

Prevents chafing.

If you are susceptible to chafing on the feet, prepare yourself for the days when you will be standing for a long time, with the same shoes on, use the most comfortable shoe you have, avoid thin strappy sandals and shoes with soles slim or high heeled for women; and preferably put on a sock or stocking.
