βοΈπ‘ Summer is almost here β and your feet are NOT ready. Let's change that.
As the warm weather hits New York, your feet go from boots and sneakers to sandals, flip-flops, and bare feet on the beach. And that transition? It can wreak havoc if you're not careful.
Your NYSPMA podiatrists have the summer foot survival guide: π
βοΈ Ditch the flat flip-flops β zero arch support = plantar fasciitis waiting to happen
βοΈ Moisturize daily β heat and sandals dry out skin fast, leading to painful cracks
βοΈ Check for blisters ASAP β especially if you're diabetic. Don't wait.
βοΈ Sunscreen on your feet β yes, really. Skin cancer doesn't skip feet.
βοΈ Pedicure caution β make sure your salon sterilizes tools properly
βοΈ See a foot doctor NYC if anything hurts β don't limp through summer
