Every woman loves shoes. There should be a pair for work or school, for malling, for church and other special ocassions. When shopping for shoes, women usually fall into trance when they see gorgeous pumps in different colors, hot pink, green, blue, yellow and more loud colors, or women totally forget that they are on a budget when they see the cute white flats they’ve always wanted to have. But ladies, it’s important to remember that in choosing the perfect shoes that would match your delicate feet, the first thing we have to consider is comfort, no matter how perfect a pair of sling backs seem to be.
Next to comfort is affordability. I believe, you may be able to justify the price of a pair of shoes by saying how comfortable it is that’s why it’s expensive, but believe me, no pair of shoes should exceed more than a thousand pesos unless it is a pair of rubber shoes. Buying shoes that cost more than that is just insane specially when you will be using the shoes only to hang out your friends. So for you to find comfort and affordability at the same time, try to look around in a lot of malls and stalls. You are looking for the perfect shoes anyway. From time to time, malls here in Batangas like, Robinsons, SM Batangas and Lipa have their shoes sale. I usually wait for these sales rather than buying the shoes at its regular price. Sometimes i get so lucky getting 70% off my chosen pair.
The last but definitely not the least to consider its style and versatility. Of course, you’re not going to buy something if you can only wear it once. You should be able to buy something which you could be comfortable in wearing in your everyday routine, and something which would be perfect to pair of with jeans or a dress. The best shoes can usually be worn in many ways.
Meanwhile, if you have problems taking care of your feet here are some tips:
Wash your feet every day. You wouldn’t think twice about washing your body, so don’t forget your feet cleaning with soap or shower gel gets rid of the daily build-up of grime and sweat.
Dry your feet thoroughly – including between your toes. Fungi flourish in warm, damp conditions, which can lead to athlete’s foot.
Use a pumice stone or foot scrub to exfoliate hard skin on the soles of your feet. This is best done during or after a shower or bath when the skin is soft.
Trim your toenails. Use nail clippers or scissors to cut straight across each toenail don’t cut down the sides as this can lead to in-growing nails. If nails are hard, soften them in a hot bath or shower before cutting them.
Wear a clean pair of socks everyday, and rotate your shoes so they don’t get smelly.
Don’t squash your feet into badly fitting shoes. This can lead to bunions.
If you have diabetes, blood flow problems can lead to nerve damage or ulcers in the feet. Visit a podiatrist or chiropodist regularly so that any problems are found early.
After a long day on the go, your feet can feel tender and sore. Rejuvenate them with a hot foot soak, but remember not to plunge very cold feet into hot water, as this can cause chilblains.
Many of us moisturise our bodies, so each time you do, use a foot cream to soften cracked heels.
