10 Easy Ways to Care for your Feet

Moisturising is key to keeping your feet looking and feeling great. The skin on your feet is twelve times thicker than on the rest of your body, so we recommend using a specially formulated foot cream. We love Margaret Dabbs Foot Hygiene Cream for intensive hydration and to help protect from infections, irritation and inflammation. Image Margaret Dabbs London.

Closed shoes and socks can make your feet sweat and trap moisture, so sandals are the perfect solution for warm days. Finding flip flops that are easy to clean doesn’t have to mean plastic and rubber – all Salt-Water sandals come with rustproof buckles so can be worn in the water and hand washed with a gentle detergent.

Are you planning to wear high-heels for a party or event? If so, always put your heels on at the last minute and avoid wearing them for long periods of time. Keep a pair of Reef Stargazers in your bag to slip into later or for the stumble home. Image Reef.

Longer days are made for adventures. Don’t let your footwear hold you back from having a spontaneous, go-anywhere, do-anything mentality. The first pair of Tevas were conceived on a trip down the Grand Canyon and then created from an old Velcro watchstrap attached to a flip flop. Today each pair of Tevas is designed for adventure.

If you have sensitive feet (which are particularly common among the fair-haired and fine-skinned), opt for light leather and soft fabrics and don’t be tempted by patents and hard leathers. FitFlops and Havaianas are a great place to start. Image Fit Flop.

Standing, walking and dancing can be tough on your feet; comfortable footwear in a couple of choices is a must. Get your glitter on this festival season with a pair of Sparkle Ipanemas. They are also super easy to clean if things get muddy! Image Rebecca Beach for Ipanema.

Don’t forget your feet when applying your SPF. Embrace the flip flop tan or alternate thongs with slides to avoid a telltale mark. Havaiana Slims and Birkenstock Madrid Slide Ons both offer minimal coverage and maximum style. Image Victorious BBG for Teva.

The average person will walk over 220 million steps in their lifetime. Engineered for comfort, Fitflops can ease your journey. Their chunkier soles distribute body weight more evenly and offer good support to the foot’s soft tissues and arches. Image Uma Thurman, Fit Flop.

Puffy, tired, aching feet? Soaking your feet in a bath with Himalayan pink salt or our favourite Cornish Sea Salt helps to detoxify, remineralise and rebalance. The perfect antidote to a long hot day. Image Cornish Sea Salt.

Sanuk’s Yoga Slings have a squishy yoga-mat sole, so when you ease into them you are actually standing on a yoga mat! Now you can find your om when you don’t have time to get to yoga class (or feel the call of a beach barbecue instead). Image Sanuk.
