Our Foot Doctor in Milwaukee, WI Gives Tips for Winter Foot Care

Fall is here, which means winter is on the way and it’s time to prepare your feet for cold, dry weather. For those who spend time outdoors in freezing temperatures, it’s crucial to take care of your feet and watch out for any possible winter-related foot issues that may arise. Our foot doctor in Milwaukee, WI offers tips for caring for your feet during the winter, see below: 

Invest in Quality Shoes
One of the most important things you can do for your feet is to invest in well-fitting, comfortable footwear year-round. In the winter months, keeping your feet warm and dry is crucial. Your shoes should be waterproof and provide good traction, even if you live in a milder, rainy climate, as keeping your feet dry is integral to maintaining good foot health. If you live in a cold region with heavy snowfall, it’s best to invest in a quality insulated boot if you plan on trudging through the snow.

Watch for Problems
The most common problem with poorly insulated shoes during the winter is frostbite. If you suffer from poor circulation or diabetes, you are at an increased risk. Frostbite begins as cold feet, then leads to numbness and pale skin. Mild cases can be treated by immediately going inside and warming your feet. In severe cases, contact our podiatrist right away for help.

Prevention Is Key
Having solutions to prevent cold feet before they start is the best way to keep your feet healthy. Aside from waterproof boots for the rain and insulated boots for the snow, there are other ways to keep your feet warm and dry. Moisture-wicking socks are great for wet conditions, and wearing thick wool socks will help retain heat. For additional warmth, try heated insoles for your boots.
