The summer months are here and so are the warm hectic temperatures. Keeping your feet cool is as vital as keeping hydrated. Here are the benefits of keeping your tootsies cool.

Let’s start with the obvious. If your feet stay warm and in a dark place for a long time, they can harbour germs which will lead to unattractive infections such as the dreaded Staphylococcus aureus .

To avoid this, swap out your heels for a good pair of sandals. Yes a good pair because there are different types of makes and designs but not all of them are good for you. Always pick a pair of sandals or flip flops that have a thicker sole with arch support- the more straps it has, the better as this can decrease the stress put on the toes from gripping the flip flop; also so your feet don’t slide off.

 Another import thing to look out for is whether the shoes can bend in half as that is a tell-tale sign that it will not provide support. If you have already own such a pair, there is no need to throw them away as they may come in handy for the pool side or the gym.

Keeping your feet cool is not only good for their health but for aesthetics because there is nothing as uncomfortable as a blister (regardless of how easy they are to treat).
