Pie Vital shares its professional advice on Telemadrid. Get your feet ready for summer with tips from our podiatrist, Sara Benamar!
“With the arrival of warmer weather and higher temperatures, we tend to wear sandals and flip-flops more often. They are suitable for going to the beach or swimming pool, but wearing them regularly in other situations is not always advisable.
On Está Pasando, we spoke with Sara Benamar, podiatrist and Director of Clínica Pie Vital, who explains which footwear is best to wear during the summer.
“Flip-flops and sandals are not actually the best footwear for our feet, as they can contribute to a variety of injuries,” explains the podiatrist.
What Footwear Should We Wear? As Sara explains, the most important thing is for the footwear to fit securely around the foot. “For women, a sandal with a slight wedge is a good option,” she adds.
It is very important to continue taking care of our feet, as they are particularly susceptible to infections. “We should moisturise our feet every day, but avoid applying cream between the toes, as excess moisture can build up in these areas,” explains the expert.
