PODIATRIST STATES TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET WHILE TRAVELLING

Packing more than one pair of shoes takes up precious space in your suitcase, but this may be the difference between enjoying your vacation and staying in your hotel because you can’t take more than 10 steps without feeling excruciating foot pain. “Switch it up from an active morning of sightseeing to a casual, "lounge-y" lunch and an afternoon of shopping to a dressy dinner and exploration of nightlife,” says Dr. Jacqueline Sutera, who is a member of Vionic’s Innovation Lab . “If you wear the same shoes all day, they may cause injury if not appropriate for long periods of walking and standing.”

Pads, cushions, and insoles will also help. Gel pads, for example, won't absorb odors like traditional fabric pads. They also last longer and are washable and re-usable. “There are also some really great silicone adhesive gel cushions that stick onto feet instead of inside the shoes,” suggested Dr. Sutera.
