During the tough winter season, it makes sense to share some practical advise on keeping your
feet in running condition.
I devised a short list of things that help. Written for the person on the go with about 5
minutes to pay attention to my words of wisdom

So here it is, simple and concise, and all in
one place for a quick read:- Get shoes
that fit comfortably and correctly.
- If feet
swell after a run, then simply soak them in cold water for a minute or
two.
- If you have
blisters (and are still running), put some lotion on those pressure
points. Some petroleum jelly works
fine.
- Cut your
toenails! They will stab into the
other toes in some ridiculous toe-fighting-fist-fight if you don’t. For the love of God, just cut those
toenails. If you can’t do it, pay
someone to do it for you.
- Get rid of
socks with holes in them. Again, a
no-brainer, but yeah, I felt some of you (and you know who you are) needed
to hear this. You’re welcome.
- Keep your feet dry – this will help or
prevent fungal problems that wetness and sweat may exacerbate.
- Rotate your
sneakers. It is a good idea to have
two pairs of good running shoes and to rotate them so the non-used pair
has a chance to “bounce back” if needed.
- Replace your
sneakers somewhere in the neighborhood of
This list is certainly not all inclusive and I welcome additions at
any time. But it will absolutely help
you! Please shoot me an email,, add a
