Tip of the Day: 21.01.2020

Bastien Gonzalez has long been a go-to guru for foot wisdom, for us. Here he is on shopping for shoes: ‘Shoes need to be comfortable. Shop for them at the end of the day, when your feet are at their biggest. Ensure the soles are thick enough to protect you from the floor, but not too high, to guard your ankles and prevent the development of bunions. For open-backed sandals, opt for a closer fit so they feel secure on your feet and don’t flap. If not, your heel will develop cracks and your toes will start to clench, which can lead to hammer toes.’
