Barefoot Bliss: Summer Feet Freedom! 🦶☀️

There's nothing quite like the feeling of warm sand between your toes, but barefoot in summer comes with its own set of challenges. Here's how to keep your feet safe and happy:

👣Terrain matters: Stick to smooth surfaces like sand, grass, or soft dirt. Avoid rough rocks, hot pavement, and sharp objects.

👣Hydration hero: Keep your feet moisturized to prevent dryness and cracking. Apply a hydrating lotion after a day of barefooting.

👣Sun protection matters: Don't forget the sunscreen! Even your soles need protection from harmful UV rays.

👣Inspect before you step: Take a quick scan of your surroundings for potential hazards like thorns, broken glass, or hidden critters before letting loose.

👣Cleanliness is key: Wash your feet thoroughly after a day of barefooting to remove dirt, sand, and any unwelcome hitchhikers.

👣Bonus tip: Wear water shoes or sandals in public areas like pools or beaches to protect your feet from germs and contamination. 🌊

Merry Christmas to all our customers. We hope you are safe, happy and putting your feet up (ha!).Warmest wishes, Daniell...

Sneaker Summer: Keep Your Kicks Comfortable! 👟☀️

Summer sneakers are the ultimate blend of style and practicality, but keeping those feet cool and comfy is key. Here's how to rock your kicks without breaking a sweat:

👟Sock it to me: Invest in breathable, moisture-wicking socks made from natural fibres like cotton or bamboo. Skip the thick, synthetic socks!

👟Material matters: Opt for sneakers with mesh or canvas uppers for maximum breathability. Leather sneakers can get stuffy in the heat.

👟Size matters: Don't squeeze your toes! Choose sneakers that fit comfortably with a little wiggle room.

👟Air it out: Take your shoes off whenever possible to let your feet breathe and prevent moisture build-up.

👟Footloose and fancy-free: Skip the double socks for extra ventilation and avoid wearing sneakers barefoot to prevent blisters.

👟Bonus tip: Pack a cooling spray or foot wipes to refresh your feet on the go! 💦

Sandal Summer: Keep Your Soles Smiling! 👡☀️

Summer sandals are a fashion must-have, but keeping your feet happy in the heat requires some TLC. Here's how to rock those open-toed beauties without a hitch:

👡Size matters: Sandals should fit snugly without pinching or rubbing. Blisters are summer's enemy!

👡Material magic: Opt for natural materials like leather or canvas for breathability. Synthetic fabrics can trap sweat and lead to irritation.

👡Moisture matters: Don't forget sunscreen! Apply it generously to your feet, especially the tops, to prevent sunburn.

👡Pamper those toes: Regular exfoliation removes dead skin and prevents calluses. Give your feet a mini spa treatment with a homemade sugar scrub!

👡Skip the sharpies: Cute nail art might be tempting, but dark polish can trap heat and worsen sweating. Stick to lighter shades or go bare for maximum comfort.

Bonus tip: Pack some comfy flats or sneakers in your bag for when your sandals wear thin (or the pavement gets scorching!). 👣
