With the fall and winter season approaching our thoughts are turned to BOOTS. Here are some helpful hints for when you go out shopping. The fur-lined boots look nice and warm but a lot of times they have no traction on the bottom of the boot and lack air flow around the foot. This can cause foot odor and athlete's feet. Make sure the boot has a rubber sole to prevent falls. Leather or natural fibers absorb moisture keeping feet dry.
Choose a boot that comes just below the knee, allowing full range of movement. A lower wider heel will relieve pressure and pain on the ball of the feet.
