As summer arrives in Athlone and across County Westmeath, many people switch to sandals and lighter footwear. While this is great for comfort, it can also lead to common foot problems.
At our Podiatry and Chiropody clinic in Athlone, we often treat issues like dry skin, cracked heels, and fungal infections during the warmer months. Here are some simple ways to look after your feet.
Keep Feet Clean and Dry
Wash your feet daily and dry well, especially between your toes.
Moisturise Daily
Use a foot cream regularly to prevent dry skin and cracked heels.
Wear Supportive Footwear
Avoid wearing flat flip-flops all day. Choose supportive sandals where possible.
Protect Your Feet
Wear flip-flops in public places like pools and gyms to reduce infection risk.
Don’t Ignore Foot Pain
If you have foot pain, get it checked early by a podiatrist or chiropodist.
Trim Nails Properly
Cut nails straight across to help prevent ingrown toenails.
