Winter Foot Care Tips! ❄️
Cold weather and dry indoor heating can contribute to cracked heels and dry skin. Applying a moisturizer daily and wearing moisture-wicking socks may help maintain skin hydration during the winter months.
Here are a few general at-home considerations that may help support foot comfort in colder weather:
🔹 Keeping feet clean and thoroughly dry, especially between the toes
🔹 Gently exfoliating dry skin with a soft file or cloth (avoiding over-filing)
🔹 Choosing footwear with insulation and adequate room for socks
🔹 Rotating footwear to allow shoes to dry fully between wears
🔹 Using a humidifier at home to help reduce dryness in the air
For individuals with diabetes or circulation concerns, monitoring skin integrity becomes especially important during colder seasons.
A chiropodist can assess any changes and provide guidance based on individual needs.
