My poor aching feet!

How many times have you said this because you chose to wear those absolutely gorgeous high heeled, tight shoes despite the fact that they’re not the most comfortable pair in the world (and that's putting it mildly)?

Yes --- we are all guilty of choosing fashion over comfort (and this also includes the men out there!). What's a little pain for the sake of looking great? Besides, we always promise ourselves we'll pamper our feet afterwards by resting and soaking them.

But be warned--- as with everything else, our feet age too. Unfortunately, our feet tend to get the least attention (unless you get regular pedicures with your manicures) yet are the most used.

Granted, not EVERYONE chooses fashion over comfort--- but even those who don’t have to attend to their feet. The NY Times article, Active Feet to Aging Feet to Aching Feet, showcases a list of the most common problems with aging or mistreated feet.

Why is this so important? Because we are all aging right now even as we speak (or read), and we should start taking care of everything about ourselves---- including our feet. We are all living longer. Do you really want to live an extra 10, 20 years with pain in your feet? Isn’t it better to prevent any problems, or correct existing problems, before they begin or worsen?

We believe so.


Remember, it is never too late to take care of your feet.
