Most foot issues can be resolved or at least avoided or ameliorated by doing  few simples things:

  1. Wear correctly fitting footwear. Soft cloth footwear such as modern trainers impart less pressure on your toes and often have a padded sole that cushions the bottom of the foot.
  2. Use a good quality emollient daily on the top and bottom, avoiding in between the toes
  3. Cut nails correctly or file them short, avoiding cutting down the sides
  4. If you're older and have swelling in your legs and feet, try to elevate more often using s recliner chair or foot stall but avoiding leaning on the heels 
  5. Control your diabetes as this can cause you more problems in the long term 
  6. Quit smoking as this causes your arteries to clog up more 
  7. Wash your feet regularly 
  8. Keep active: you can walk, do chari exercises or swim
