As you get older, the size of feet will increase. Not only do your feet grow, but also the ligaments and tendons are stretched leading to a bigger feet size. When you buy your shoes, you must measure the size and then buy the new shoes. You must also refrain from wearing the same pair of shoes for 2 days continuously. Your shoes must be wide if you face problems such as hammer toes or bunions.

Using an over the counter arch support, you can treat several foot problems effectively. Instances of such problems are flat feet and plantar fasciitis. Even after using such a support, if you feel pain, it is better to consult a podiatrist and have custom made arch supports known as orthotics delivered to you.

You must try several exercises which can strengthen and relax your feet. You can try to pick objects with your toes and move them from one place to another. You can move your foot up and down by doing ankle pumps. You can also try lifting your heels off the ground. Another good exercise is to try and make circles with your ankles.

By trimming corns and calluses, the pressure on the feet’s bottom can be minimized. You can first of all soften corns and calluses by soaking feet in warm water. Using a emery board or pumice stone, you can trim corns and calluses. Then you can apply a foot cream for massaging your feet. This can be followed by covering your feet with socks that can help to absorb the cream better.
