• To help maintain your feet's health, wash them every day, rinsing off all soap and drying them, not forgetting between your toes

• Trim your nails straight across, and not too short

• Don't cut out or dig at the corners of your toenails

• Wear a clean pair of socks or stockings every day...

• ...and don't wear any that are too short or too tight

• Ill-fitting shoes can cause problems, make sure that they fit properly

• Walking barefoot can cause plantar (sole of foot) warts. This virus enters through a cut
