Common foot problems and how to prevent them

Our feet are truly multi-talented: they carry us every day and support our every step. But sometimes they have a hard time and are prone to problems. In this article, we take a look at the most common foot problems.

It's important to be aware of the most common foot complaints and know how to prevent them. We show you why a visit to the doctor is essential for persistent pain and introduce you to the Merino Runners from GIESSWEIN - the ideal choice for ultimate foot comfort!

Most common foot problems

  1. Heel spur: It really hurts! This painful growth on the heel bone is often caused by incorrect footwear or too much strain. Getting up in the morning in particular can be a pain.
  2. Flat foot: With this problem, the arch of the foot flattens considerably, which can lead to pain in the arch of the foot and in the knees.
  3. Hallux valgus: Also known as bunions. The big toe is crooked and presses over the other toes, which is both painful and makes it difficult to wear shoes.
  4. Calluses and corns: These are caused by pressure and friction on the skin, often because the shoes do not fit or are too tight.
  5. Toenail or toenail problems: Ingrown nails or fungal infections are also annoying foot problems that can cause pain and discomfort.

Prevention and measures against foot problems

To prevent foot problems, there are a few tried and tested measures that should be implemented regularly:

  1. Choose the right shoes: Make sure your shoes fit well, offer enough space and support your feet. Avoid narrow or high heels.

  2. Good foot care: Keep your feet clean and dry to avoid infections and fungal problems. Foot baths and moisturising creams are real helpers here.

  3. Do foot exercises regularly: Stretching and strengthening exercises help to strengthen the foot muscles and prevent problems such as flat feet.

  4. Pay attention to your posture: How you stand and walk has a big impact on your foot health. Good posture reduces the pressure on your feet.

  5. Have your weight under control: Being overweight can put additional strain on your feet and cause pain. A healthy weight helps to prevent foot problems.

Don't forget to visit your doctor!

If you have persistent or severe foot pain, it is important to see a doctor. A specialist can find out the exact cause and recommend the best treatment for you. Foot problems can have many causes and it is important to get a professional diagnosis.
