During winter you need to work on your skin and toenails, and keep calluses in check. Because you’re not barefoot or in sandals as much, you may forget to check your feet as often as you do in the summer. In addition, be watchful for dry skin. The cold, snow and ice make it important to wear good socks and keep your feet warm. The thick socks can make your feet sweat more so be watchful for athlete’s foot. The use of anti-fungal foot powder can help prevent problems. Winter is a good time to go through your sock drawer and toss old and worn socks. Do the same with shoes, replacing old insoles, laces, and if necessary, tossing the shoes too.
