Winter in the city is hard on feet, from dry, cracked skin to slips on the ice.
Watch out for
- Dry, cracked heels from cold air and indoor heat
- Ankle sprains and fractures from slippery sidewalks
- Sweaty feet inside heavy boots, which invites fungus
- Reduced circulation, especially for people with diabetes
Protect your feet
Moisturize daily, wear supportive, well-fitting winter boots with good traction, change damp socks, and do not ignore new pain after a slip.
