In order to help keep their feet healthy, customers should be advised to:

• Wear properly fitting shoes that don’t rub and aren’t too tight
• Wear flip-flops in communal areas such as changing rooms and showers to avoid verrucas and athlete’s foot
• Keep the feet clean, dry them properly after a bath, shower or swimming and let air get to the toes when possible
• Wear cotton socks and change them everyday
• Alternate between different pairs of shoes so that they have chance to dry out before being worn again
• Don’t share towels when they have an infectious foot problem such as a verruca, athlete’s foot or a fungal nail infection.
