Common Foot Conditions Shouldn't Be Ignored
Just because your feet are at the very bottom of your body doesn't mean they can be overlooked. You should take the time to inspect and care for your and your family's feet by keeping feet clean, wearing arch support shoes or insoles and buying shoes that are the correct size and width.
In lieu of Foot Health Awareness Month, we have listed some of the most common foot problems that when go untreated, can create severe pain, discomfort or embarrassment. If you or a family member has one or more of the below foot conditions, you can find treatment products at HealthyFeetStore.com.
Bunions- Bunions are bony humps that form at the base of the big toe as a result of the big toe being angled towards the other toes for extended periods of time. The toe joint becomes swollen and inflamed and any movement of the foot can be very painful. Bunions are usually caused by wearing shoes with too narrow toe boxes. To relieve bunion pain, protect and shield the bunion with our Heaven 4 Toes Bunion Cushion or a bunion cushioning gel sleeve. We also sell shoes that have wide toe boxes to accommodate bunions.
Athlete's Foot- This well-known foot condition is a skin infection caused by a fungus. Symptoms include dry skin, itching, scaling, blisters and cracked skin. Keeping your feet clean, dry and protection a daily basis will reduce your chances of getting athlete's foot. To treat athlete's foot, use quality anti-fungal soap such as Pedifix Tea Tree Oil Antifungal Foot Soap and Tripod Athlete's Foot Cream with Tineacide Shoe Spray, to help keep your feet clean. Wear shoes and socks that wick moisture to keep your feet dry and use shoe inserts by Woodlore or Stuffits to prevent moisture build-up in your shoes after wear.
Calluses and Corns- Calluses are created when the foot is continuously rubbed due to ill-fitting shoes or poor quality shoes. Continue reading about more common foot conditions such as corns, blisters, foot odor, plantar fasciitis and much more. |

FROM THE BLOG: THE GLADIATOR SANDAL | 
Do As the Romans Would Do: Wear Comfortable Gladiator Sandals
The latest shoe trend proves that the Romans had something right. Gladiator sandals are taking over shoe stores by storm. No matter where you go, you see at least one person wearing this long-lived sandal. But who can blame the gladiator sandal fans? The strappy, open design will keep your feet secure yet cool in these upcoming Spring and Summer months.
Gladiator sandals are characterized with a T-strap design that consists of a primary vertical strap with multiple straps adjoining it at a perpendicular angle. Ankle straps are also a key component that completes the gladiator sandal design. (A sandal could pass off as having a gladiator-inspired design if it has a backstrap, but the traditional and fashionable gladiator sandals have ankle straps.) Sometimes the sandal will have a covered heel for additional comfort. Decorations on the women's gladiator sandals uppers include studs, buckles or metal ornaments for a more rustic, Roman look.
Most gladiator sandals you'll find in department stores aren't made with comfort and support in mind. The gladiator sandals on healthyfeetstore.com have arch support, heel cups, soft uppers and cushioned footbeds to ensure serenity when wearing them. You shouldn't jeopardize your comfort for a fashion statement. What's the point of spending money on a pair of sandals that do more harm than good for your feet? Below are the stylish gladiator sandals healthyfeetstore.com carries that will keep your feet healthy and ache-free:
Naot Cymbal:These gladiator sandals have soft leather uppers that keep your feet gently in place. An ankle strap is adjustable to secure the sandal in place. Decorated beads are feminine accents on the T-strap. A 1 1/2 inch wedged heel gives these gladiator sandals a versatile function, allowing them to be worn with casual or dress outfits. The soft cork and latex footbed in all Naot sandals provides arch support and pure comfort for the wearer of these Naot Cymbal gladiator sandals.
Naot Flirt: Don't be fooled by the 2 3/4 inch heel on these gladiator sandals. The Flirt sandal is different from other wedge sandals - its special construction won't leave your feet aching. An ankle strap is adjustable and has elastic gore for a customized, secure fit. These gladiator heel sandals have a soft leather footbed with a unique suede center to prevent your feet from slipping. Metal studs add the chic finishing touches on these fashionable yet ultra comfortable gladiator sandals.

Naot Edge: A youthful gladiator sandal without a lot of glam, the Naot Edge is very kind to your feet. The backstrap keeps your foot in place and there is an adjustable strap closure for a secure fit. Perfect for casual wear, these gladiator sandals have a 1 1/4 inch heel and have a removable footbed.
PG Lite 7197: With soft full grain leather uppers, these gladiator sandals sport an adjustable ankle strap with elastic gore for a perfect fit. The built-in heel pad air pillow absorbs shock from the heel strike and a removable insole accommodates custom orthotics.
