Sore feet can make our lives a misery. However it is easy with a little thought and attention to prevent sore feet from occurring. Here are 4 essential tips to ensure you do not have to suffer with foot pain.
1) Put your best foot forward - walk on a regular basis to help prevent sore feet.
Walking is superb exercise and both provides a work out for your feet as well as building their muscles. This will in turn make them stronger and more resistant to foot pain.
2) Choose and wear appropriate footwear.
taking time to choose appropriate, well fitted shoes will pay dividends. Make sure that your shoes have sufficient padding and support. A useful tip is to alternate your shoes so as to give them a rest. By alternating shoes you will allow them to completely dry out and give the padding time to return to its normal shape.

3) Rest your feet regularly - give them a break.
Your feet will thank you and reward you with years of pain free service if looked after appropriate. This include regular periods of rest. Those who have to stand for long periods of time know how wonderful it feels to take their shoes off. It is particularly important if overweight to give your feet a rest as excess weight will place additional stress on already tired feet.
4) Treat your feet on a regular basis - this can include a massage, or a relaxing soak in warm water with some essential oils such as essential oil of lavender, eucalyptus or peppermint.
