Taking Care of your Feet:

• Wear padded acrylic-fiber socks. They wick away perspiration better than cotton or wool, and perspiration can cause blisters.
• If you have any serious foot conditions such as bunions or hammertoes, see a foot-care specialist before beginning a walking program.
• Dry your feet well after bathing, and apply a powder such as our footpowder before walking. Cut your toenails medium length, straight across.
• If a blister forms, do not break it. Apply moleskin or an adhesive bandage or bandage; the blister will fall off naturally. To prevent blisters, keep your feet dry and always wear socks. Most important, wear perfect-fit shoe.

Shoe Fitting Pointers:

[while purchasing a new pair of Shoes ]

• When trying on shoes, ensure that you're wearing the appropriate socks. For instance, if you are trying/selecting boots that you would wear with heavy socks, don't try them on with thin nylons.
• The best time to try on shoes is usually at the end of the day, your feet tend to swell through the day. Waiting until the end of the day ensures that the footwear can fit you at your widest- a "worst case scenario" check.
• At first, try shoe for your larger foot. For most people, their larger foot is the opposite from their hand they write with. For example, if you're right handed, your left foot might be bigger.
• Stand up with your new shoes on. Walk around a bit. You should be able to wiggle your toes in the front of the shoe. For most footwear, your toes will be able to touch the top of the shoe, but there should be 3/8" to 1/2" of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
• Don't buy the Shoes that are too tight. The Shoes purchased heavily tight with an impression that they will stretch to be comfortable, they probably won't. It is true that soft leather and suede give slightly, molding to your foot, but they will not dramatically increase in width or length. There is a difference between a 'snug", comfortable fit and a "tight' uncomfortable fit.

Shoe Cleaning Tips:

• For Leather Shoes: The natural shine/ lusture of leather can be retained longer through regular dusting and application of a qualitative leather polish or crème. After cleaning the dirt/dust with a soft cloth, apply leather polish or crème to the shoes. Once they are dry, spray with Shoe Protector.
• Suede and Nubuck Leather Shoes: The soft velvet touch finish of a Suede and Nubuck leather can be preserved by spraying suede spray and leave to dry. When dry, brush with a suede and Nubuck brush (a clean toothbrush can work just as well). For persistent stains, spray the shoes again and brush vigorously. Once they are dry, spray with Shoe Protector.
• Oil Pull Up Leather Shoes:After dusting, apply neutral cream (without wax) evenly to the Oil Pull Up Leather with a dry cloth. This will allow the oil to penetrate into the leather and keep the shoes soft and shiny.
  Synthetic material shoes: Wipe the shoes at the synthetic material with a damp cloth.

Shoe Care Tips For All:

• A Shoe protector spray is an excellent way to protect your shoes from water, snow, mud, and, spills. The best way to protect your shoes is to wipe the leather of your new shoes, following the instructions on the protector spray, and spray shoes before wearing, and on a regular basis thereafter.
• Clean your shoes on a regular basis depending on frequency of use.
• Shoe horn not only helps an easy slide down of the ankle inside the shoe but also prolong the life of your shoe. Regular polishing nourishes and condition your shoe.During spring/ moist, do not forget to place silica gel to absorb the moisture and reduce the possibility of fungus.
• Don't's: Never try to wear/Pull out your shoes without loosening the laces or the strap.
