In order to help keep their feet healthy, customers should be advised to:
- Wear properly fitting shoes that don’t rub and aren’t too tight
- Wear flip-flops in communal areas such as changing rooms and showers to avoid verrucas and athlete’s foot
- Keep the feet clean, dry them properly after a bath, shower or swimming and let air get to the toes when possible
- Wear cotton socks and change them everyday
- Alternate between different pairs of shoes so that they have chance to dry out before being worn again
- Don’t share towels when they have an infectious foot problem such as a verruca, athlete’s foot or a fungal nail infection.
