5 Foot Care Products You Didn't Know You Needed
Feet require just as much attention as our face or hands, despite the fact that we often choose to keep them out of sight. Foot health starts with proper foot care, and if you think the world of foot products is boring, this list will change your opinion of foot care products forever. Our list of 5 Foot Care Products You Didn't Know You Needed is here to show you that taking good care of your feet is anything but boring.
Shoe Insoles
We all know someone who swears on wearing shoe insoles, but did you know that insoles don't have to be used for a specific condition? When picking your shoes, you probably pay more attention to their style, colour, and overall fit than you do to the inserts that come with them. And when a new pair of shoes feels uncomfortable, poor arch support is likely the last thing that springs to mind.
Typical shoes are not designed to provide comfortable support to your soles, but this can easily be improved by getting a discreet, easy-to-use shoe insoles. You can find the perfect pair for any condition, shoe style, activity, or need in our broad range of Shoe Insoles.
Our Recommendation: Superfeet Green Performance Insoles
To new and experienced buyers, we strongly recommend Superfeet Green Performance Insoles, which are just as suitable for sports as they are for everyday use. These very popular insoles prevent or reduce general foot pain and discomfort by absorbing shock from the heel to the toe, easing pressure under the heels, and offering resilient support.
Warming Socks
If you tend to get cold feet, you're probably already an expert on picking out socks that will keep your feet cosy. As you well know, it's important to choose socks that are warm and comfortable, but still breathable enough to keep your feet from sweating.
High quality winter socks can be made out of a mix of synthetic materials, such as nylon and elastane, or a blend of natural fibres, such as wool and nylon. Avoid cotton, as it absorbs sweat quickly and dries very slowly, which can cause blisters.
Our Recommendation: TOETOE Warming Silver Toe Socks
Our idea of warming socks takes foot comfort to a whole new level. These TOETOE Warming Silver Toe Socks look different and feel different. Infused with silver fibres that provide odour-reduction and warmth, and designed to provide separation between your toes, these socks provide better balance, prevent friction, eliminate foot odour, and improve circulation for better temperature control.
Gel Cushions
If you love to wear high heels, don't think discomfort, friction and blisters need to be a part of the package. Gel cushions and pads are similar to shoe insoles, but much more discreet, and perfect for reducing friction and cushioning only the part of the foot that is causing you the most pain. You can choose from pads for ball of the foot, heel cups and toe separators.
Our Recommendation: Pro11 Gel Metatarsal Pads (Pair)
