Keep your toe nails short, especially during the rainy season.

During wet months wear shoes that cover your feet completely. Never wear sandals on a rainy day, as your feet will be exposed and may lead to infections.

Opt for shoes with porous surface as it helps your feet to breathe and keeps them free from perspiration.

When you buy shoes opt for the ones that fit you well. Avoid wearing very tight shoes as thay cause blisters. This will make walking uncomfortable due to the pain and swellings.

During the rainy season it's advisable to have more than one pair of shoes. In case one pair gets wet you can air out that one and wear a dry pair of dried shoes. Wearing wet shoes is a strict 'No' as it may lead to infections.

If you are on your feet through a major part of the day then give them a warm water soak in the evening when you return home. This will relax your feet muscles.

Pamper your feet by going for pedicure at least once every month. And during the wet season go for pedicure once in a fortnight. This will keep your feet clean and soft.
