Just Because the Shoes Fit, Doesn’t Mean You Should Wear Them Everyday

By Rick Banas, Vice President of Strategic Marketing at BMA Management

“Foot Health” was the focus of a recent edition of “House Calls,” a weekly radio show hosted by Dr. David Fisher and sponsored by BMA Management.

Dr. David Fisher is a Board Certified Gerontologist.

I thought it would be of value to our readers to share Dr. Fisher’s “Top Five Ways to Keep Your Feet Healthy.”

  1. Don’t Ignore Foot Pain. It is not normal for your feet to hurt. Pain could be an indication of other problems.
  2. Inspect and Wash Your Feet Regularly and Dry Them Carefully.
  3. Trim Your Toenails Straight Across. Don’t cut corners and don’t cut them too short.
  4. Make Sure You Get Properly Fitted Shoes. The best time to shop for shoes is toward the end of the day.
  5. Alternate Your Shoes. Don’t wear the same pair of shoes everyday.

On this program, Dr. Fisher also discussed a new technology for treating foot fungus with Podiatrist Joel Feder of Affiliated Podiatry.
