HealthyFeetStore is taking a small step outside of the world of feet to bring you a wellness preparation plan for Valentine’s Day. It’s a day of love, and who better to love than yourself? Cleanse your body and mind to enhance your healthy glow. There’s many ways to show yourself some love, whether you’re spending the holiday with a significant other, friends or alone.

Valentine’s Day Post Part 1:
Make sure you feel as good as you look on V-Day

For those of us who have a date for this special occasion, a major priority is looking and feeling amazing. Preparation is your friend – you want to make sure you’ve been eating right and exercising to bring out the best you. For radiating beauty, partake in some products and activities listed below.

Do Yoga: This traditional physical and mental discipline is more than 5,000 years old and has been growing rapidly popular. Yoga is a fun and healthy way to achieve a refreshing state of physical and mental calmness. But it isn’t a fad – many people consider this activity a lifestyle and do it religiously. Yoga has many different paths, but in the Western world, it’s commonly done as a light exercise and flexibility practice. You can find a yoga class near you and attend during your down time to strengthen your muscles, increase flexibility, relax your mind and enjoy a new, fun activity.

Get tan: …the healthy way, of course! Have a natural-looking tan without exposing your body to harmful UVA rays from tanning beds. Since the warm, summer sun has yet to show, you can find sunless tanning products everywhere. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is a main ingredient in sunless tanning products and is approved by the FDA. The Environmental Working Group also lists zero health concerns with DHA. It’s a sugar that reacts with the dead cells located on the upper layer of the skin and therefore changes the color. It’s temporary, lasting about a week unless the lotion is used regularly. You can use Coppertone products for a safe and easy tan that you can achieve in minutes in your own home!

Liven up your face: Your face is the first thing people notice about you, so you need it to look happy and healthy. Face creams have been created to minimize wrinkles, increase moisture, close pores and soften the skin, for a natural, healthy appeal. You can buy face creams from many retailers or online. You can even give yourself a homemade facial. Try an aloe vera face mask the night before Valentine’s Day. Olive oil is also rich in Vitamin E which helps moisturizes the skin, and you can also put some in your hair as a silky, strengthening conditioner.

Make your feet presentable: Don’t get caught without clean nails on Valentine’s Day. Save yourself a trip to the nail salon and instead give yourself a manicure and pedicure. Dr.’s Remedy Enriched Antifungal, Non-Toxic Nail Polishes are available in 16 cute colors. This nail polish was designed to be healthy enough for pregnant women and diabetic women, and is made of tea tree oil, garlic bulb extract and wheat proteins. The Mycocide Antifungal Nailcare Kit comes with everything you need to clean and strengthen your nails for a polished look on your hands and feet. You can also buy our Dr.’s Remedy Enriched, Antifungal, Non-Toxic French Manicure Kit to give yourself a French manicure for the big date and for further ones to come. Beautify your feet and be proud to show them off!

Wear comfortable dress shoes: Aching feet is the last thing you want to be thinking about while you’re out on Valentine’s Day. Be sure to dress for the occasion while also being kind to your feet. Unhealthy shoes can limit what you want to do or how much time you want to spend out, and that can rub your date the wrong way. Browse through the wide selection of our women’s orthopedic dress shoes and rest assured that you will look fabulous without the pain associated in high heels.

Use healthy recipes: Eating healthy doesn’t only make you shed a few pounds, but it increases your overall health. Getting the right vitamins and minerals in your body can help your hair, nails, skin and energy level, so make sure you’re eating right to prep for Valentine’s Day. Also, if you plan to cook for the big night, wow your special someone with tasty yet feel-good-food to ensure you both are comfortable and energetic for the evening ahead. You can find a lot of healthy recipes for two at Eating Well’s web site.

As you’ll read below, Aetrex socks offer numerous features to gain healthy feet; and one of the favorite things the staff at HealthyFeetStore.com loves to do is wear the actual products they sell.  We’ve decided to include two staff reviews about Aetrex socks - we hope you get a better insight about what these socks are all about.

All I can say is WOW!!!  I LOVE AETREX SOCKS!  I bought a pair of Aetrex Low Cut Athletic Copper Socks after I wrote about them on HealthyFeetStore.com; and I’m simply amazed at the vast differences between them and cheaply made socks I’ve worn in the past.  I never knew there were socks that could prevent bad foot odor.  Aetrex socks totally work.  I’ve been an athlete all of my life (for over 30 thirty years) and I always had to deal with the unfortunate odor of smelly feet.  I never knew that socks played a big role in that.  The older I got, the more I relied on foot powders and sprays to reduce the odor; but not anymore.  My feet don’t smell after wearing Aetrex socks.  One day my boss mentioned to me about the wonders of Aetrex socks, so I decided to purchase a pair; and now I’m happy to say that I have bought six more pairs and I plan to buy more.  The Aetrex Copper Sole Technology™ and Moisture Guard™ features really remove odor and wick away moisture.  My feet are dry and odor-free after I take off the socks.  These socks fit snug and never bunch up — I don’t have to worry about readjusting them either; plus the pull tab at the heel totally protects the back of my ankle from rubbing against my shoe; something I had to worry about when wearing other low cut socks.  And you could kiss blisters goodbye; you don’t get them after wearing these socks.  It’s strange but in a TOTALLY good way — sometimes it seems as though my feet don’t sweat in these socks because they stay soft and dry, but it’s really because of the moisture wicking feature.  AETREX SOCKS ARE SO AWESOME!!!

By John Almodovar, Content Writer and SEO Specialist for HealthyFeetStore.com.

A couple of years ago I tried my first pair of Aetrex copper socks in the low cut dress style. They were a sample pair given to me from an Aetrex sales representative at an orthotics/podiatric convention. Over the next month I wore them a few times and noticed that my feet were noticeably drier than they would be after wearing other types of socks.  One day at work I mentioned this to my staff, which made a few of them purchase a pair of their own; and after a few days of them wearing their socks, they all said the same thing, “I really like Aetrex socks!”  Well of course, this made me very happy to hear and I figured that if the feedback from HealthyFeetStore.com employees was so positive I knew we had to get these socks for our customers! Since then, I’ve been wearing the Aetrex low cut athletic socks for running and training at the gym. In addition to the soft durable fabric and the moisture wicking features, I love the tab in the back that keeps my socks from slipping down into my shoes. These socks are the only socks I wear for working out – whether I’m jogging outdoors or running on a treadmill at the gym, other socks don’t even compare to Aetrex socks!

As soon as I saw the Giesswein Women’s Wool Slipper Gerolding in the purple (lila) color, I knew I had to have it. The photo makes it look so appetizing for my feet! Who can resist the plush texture of that slipper?

Like a lot of people, I buy a new pair of slippers every winter season. I prefer the clog style slipper, because they’re easy to put on and take off. Usually, I buy a cheap yet fluffy pair from a department store in the mall. But once I started working at Healthy Feet Store, I learned quickly that wearing the wrong kinds of slippers can impair your feet’s arches, decreasing your foot health and eventually leading to foot pain and perhaps joint pain. In order to prevent that, I knew I had to get a therapeutic slipper from our online store, www.healthyfeetstore.com.

I know that Giesswein is a great company that makes high-quality slippers in Austria - and they must know how to stay warm in Austria. Giesswein is also environmentally friendly by using recycled wool, water and natural rubber in its products. I instantly fell in love with the Gerolding slipper, so I impatiently ordered a pair and counted down the days till they were shipped to me.

Slipping them on for the first time changed my life. Well, at least the slipper-buying part of my life. Never again will I go back to cheap, store-brand slippers. The first thing I noticed about these slippers is the arch support. The cushioned arch is firm enough to protect my arches and keep my feet healthy, but soft enough for comfort during longtime wear. Astoundingly, my heels are kept in place when I walk in them, even though it’s a slip-on style. I also love that the lambswool Gerolding slippers keep my feet warm, but not sweaty. (The slippers also are available in white, dark blue and brown colors.)

These fabulous slippers are the first things I put on when I came home from work or when I wake up in the morning. My boyfriend said that if the Gerolding slippers came in bigger sizes, he’d buy a pair!

Arch Angels Kid’s Arch Support Insoles: These brightly-colored arch supports will promote proper weight distribution in the foot to alleviate the discomfort of flat feet, which can cause kids a lot of foot and heel pain. Arch Angels arch supports are especially good for children with flat feet, who need a stable base while walking and running.

Turf Toe Half Steel Insoles: Why is steel in insoles, you ask? The metal in these insoles is key to limiting the toe joint from flexing. These insoles are doctor-recommended because they can treat Turf Toe inside shoes you already own.

Powerstep inserts have arch support, a double-layer cushion, a stabilizing heel cradle and a special anti-bacterial fabric cover.

Perfectly browned turkey, glistening honey baked ham, butter infused mashed potatoes and sugary 7-layer cookies are just some of the meals of this past year’s holiday season feast that have made our waist lines grow and left us wondering, Why did we have to eat so much?  For some, the New Year promises fresh beginnings and new ideas, but for the majority of us it’s all about making a New Year’s resolution to lose weight and get healthier.  So where do we start?  We should start with our feet because having healthy feet is essential when exercising and finding the right type of shoes can really enhance our health, performance and comfort level.  At HealthyFeetStore.com, you will find a grand selection of athletic shoes and foot care products that offer orthopedic features and are podiatrist approved.

Walking is a great way to start the New Year, especially if you haven’t exercised in a while.  When selecting orthopedic walking and running shoes, it’s really important to find the right shoes and fit for you. Features of well-made athletic shoes include breathable uppers to help keep feet dry and durable shock absorbing soles to lessen impact that can cause pain to the ankle and heel.  If you need additional support or if you wear custom orthotics, be sure to get shoes with removable insoles. Usually, a good pair of orthopedic athletic shoes already comes with such features, but if you shop at HealthyFeetStore.com, you’ll find a grand selection of athletic shoes that come with a lot more.

• The Brooks Men’s Beast Motion Control Shoe and the Brooks Women’s Ariel Motion Control Shoe not only offer the features mentioned above, but also have eco-friendly outsoles that are abrasion-resistant, internal support saddles to increase joint support, and thermoplastic shanks for additional support and stability.  By wearing Brooks shoes, you’re giving your feet high quality shoes that are manufactured by biomechanics professionals, engineers and medical experts.
• Besides Brooks, New Balance is another brand that also produces top-quality shoes.  The New Balance 811 Men’s Athletic Walking Shoe and the Women’s New Balance Walking Shoe Lace Up for the Cure come with polyurethane midsoles for added durability and feature Rollbar® Technology: TPU medial and lateral posts designed to reduce pronation and supernation.  What’s great about New Balance is that they’re partners with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world’s biggest breast cancer organization.  Every time a pair of shoes from the Lace Up for the Cure® collection is sold, part of the proceeds goes to cancer research.  By purchasing a pair from this collection, you too will join the fight against cancer.
• Also, if you happen to be one suffering from diabetic feet you’ll be glad to know that both the Brooks and New Balance shoes are A5500 coded as diabetic footwear.

So now that you have found the perfect pair of orthopedic athletic shoes to help you commit to your New Year’s resolution, you might be thinking about what else is needed.  You should definitely consider using podiatrist-recommended foot care products because the road that leads to having healthy feet will also take you towards living a healthy lifestyle.  Arch support insoles, moister-wicking socks, and foot creams that can be used after showering to soften the skin are products that can enhance your overall exercise experience during and after your workouts.

• Arch supports and insoles will increase your stability, comfort and prevent fallen arches during your workout. We carry a variety of choices to accommodate different uses and different feet.
• Wearing the wrong kind of socks can lead to common foot problems such as Athlete’s Foot, which then can cause embarrassing foot odor.  A great way to prevent this from happening is to wear moisture-wicking socks.  Aetrex socks have all the features to do just that because they’re made with Copper Sole Technology™ to remove 99.9% of bacteria, fungi, and odor in the socks and they’re also manufactured with Moisture-Guard™ wicking system to help keep feet dry by wicking away moisture.

• Once you’re done exercising a great way to help your feet relax and prevent callus formation is to lather them up with foot cream.  DPM Cream is a non-prescription formula that combines 20% Urea with Menthol and Pepperment Oil to produce smooth refreshed skin.  This cream is great for those with rough, dry, and irritated feet; plus diabetics can use it as a diabetic foot cream to prevent diabetic foot ulcers.

Getting healthier and into shape is a fabulous way to begin the New Year; but when doing so, you should not forget the importance of having healthy feet, particularly when exercising.  Orthopedic running and walking shoes combined with the use of healthy foot care products are definitely a smart and comfortable way to accomplish a healthier life and a healthier you.

Some time ago we did a post called Famous Shoe Songs – Footwear Songs to Make You Tap Your Toes. Readers loved it and we thought we’d do another installment. Without further adieu here are five more famous shoe songs:

1. New Shoes by Paolo Nutini

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
and suddenly everything is right

Here at HealthyFeetStore.com the moment we heard this song it was love at first listen. We couldn’t stop singing it to ourselves, partly because the song was so fun and catchy and partly because we felt that Paolo Nutini really understood something fundamental about shoes. Shoes don’t last forever! Athletic shoes in particular need to be replaced every three to six month to ensure your feet are receiving enough support from the outsole to prevent repetitive stress injuries such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. Paulo Nutini is absolutely right. If you’re experiencing foot pain and can’t remember the last time you replaced your shoes, putting a pair of new shoes on may very well make everything right.

2. Mile In These Shoes by Jennifer Lopez

Even if they try they still can’t walk a mile in these shoes.
They couldn’t even lace ‘em up right.

Before trying to walk a mile in Jennifer Lopez’s shoes let’s make sure it would be healthy for your feet. According to CelebrityShoeSize.com, Jennifer Lopez’s shoe size is an 8.5. The average women’s shoe size is an 8 wide, so based on size alone many women’s feet would be too wide to walk a mile in Jennifer Lopez’s shoes. To determine your ideal shoe width, visit HealthyFeetStore.com’s width sizing chart page. As for tying shoes properly, the next song on our list should help you out.

3. The Shoe Tying Song from Sponge Bob Square Pants

You wanna learn how to tie your shoe?
It’s a very easy thing to do.
Just sit on down and I’ll give you the scoop…
What’s that? It’s called the loop-de-loop.
You put your laces in each hand,
go under and over again, take your loop-de-loop and pull,
and your shoes are looking cool.
You go over and back, left to right, loop-de-loop and hold ‘em tight.
Like the bunny ears or a Christmas bow, lace ‘em up and you’re ready to go!
Take your loop-de-loop and pull, and your shoes are lookin’ cool.

Featured in the Sponge Bob Square Pants episode in which Sponge Bob’s shoes mysteriously come untied and our poriferous hero must learn how to lace them up again; The Shoe Tying Song is quickly becoming a children’s classic. When it comes time to buy your children their first pair of lace-up sneakers, listening to this song together will make learning to shoe tie fun and easy. They’ll be walking in Jennifer Lopez’s shoes in no time!

4. Mary Jane Shoes by Fergi

When I wear my Mary Jane shoes
I can escape from a blues
The whole world seems a little bit brighter, brighter
My heavy steps get a little bit lighter, lighter

Mary Janes are stylish, feminine, and typically have much more solid heel support than women’s pumps. A full day of work or play without heel pain? That’ll chase the blues away! For a truly lighter, brighter step, try on a pair of PG Lite Alegria Mary Janes, lightweight and available in a dozen fun colors and patterns.

5. Sensible Shoes by David Lee Roth

I walk around with the blues.
I need some sensible shoes

When your feet have the blues they don’t pick up a saxophone; they express their unhappiness with arch pain, ankle pain, and back pain. Many foot pain sufferers don’t realize that Sensible shoes can actually be quite fashionable. Even rock stars like David Lee Roth recognize that wearing shoes that fit properly and feature adequate amounts of heel support and arch support can take away the blues and put a swing in your step.

“We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy…Healthy Feet!”

Well, we all pretty much know how the lyric really ends but since this is HealthyFeetBlog.com, we’ve decided to make an appropriate change to get our point across.  Christmas is just about here and many of us are feverishly decorating Christmas trees, setting up complicated Christmas-lighting designs in our front yards, and finalizing lists of who’s been naughty or nice.  There are many things we do during this time of the year to try to create the best Christmas experience ever; but if there’s one tradition that can not be ignored, it’s stuffing that old sock known as the Christmas stocking.  For years we’ve worked hard to stuff these stockings with as many tiny gifts as possible - some being practical and appreciated while others ending up useless, meaningless, and thrown away.  HealthyFeetStore.com offers a variety of gift ideas that are extremely practical for those seeking to gain or maintain healthy feet.  Remember, Christmas is the time of the year to feel good and to share happy times with loved ones, so why not start this joyous time by giving gifts to promote foot health.

Santa’s List of Suggested Foot Care Products

Santa knows that runners and active walkers are always seeking to find products that will improve their overall experience when exercising.  Wearing the right kind of socks can really make a difference.

• Aetrex Athletic Copper Socks - These socks feature Copper Sole Technology™ that will remove 99.9% of fungi, bacteria and odor.  Not only will they help combat Athlete’s Foot, but revitalize the skin.  Aetrex copper socks also wick moisture away to keep feet dry and sweat-free.
• Thorlos Walking Socks - These socks offer moderate cushioning in the ball/heel area to reduce the loss of fat pads and offer protection against blisters.  Thorlos socks are made in the U.S.A. and come in a variety of styles to accommodate various activities from hunting to walking.
• Stuffits Shoe Savers - Unfortunately, athletic shoes can get a bit smelly and moist after they’ve been used and getting rid of that awful musky scent can be quite a challenge - but not after using the Stuffit Shoe Savers.  These shoe savers will keep shoes dry, odor-free, and fresh by absorbing moisture and odor.

Christmas is the ideal time of the year for feet to be pampered and beautified, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Santa’s elves are working extra hard in the workshop to create foot care products to improve the look and health of feet.

• Foot Miracle Therapeutic Cream - This lotion is perfect to use against rough, dry skin; and it’s not sticky or greasy.  It has a fresh pleasant scent and will soften callused rough areas on feet leaving skin velvety and smooth.
• Gilden Tree Fair Trade Terra Cotta Foot Scrubber - By using this item one will be able to prevent dry cracked heels and scrub away unwanted calluses.  This foot scrubber is so special that it was even featured in such popular publications as Seventeen Magazine and Oprah’s O Magazine.
• Dr. Remedy’s Enriched Antifungal Non Toxic Nail Polish – This nail polish is natural, healthy, and free from harmful chemicals.  Not only does it come in a variety of colors, but contains all-natural antifungal and antibacterial ingredients; plus it’s safe for pregnant women and children.

When it comes time to lounge around on Christmas day we usually clad ourselves with comfy pajamas, loosely fit robes, and comfortable house slippers so that we can spend the day stress-free and relaxed.  One way to bring someone even more Christmas cheer is to stuff their stocking with insoles.

• Cloud Nine Insoles and Old Friend Insoles -  Both insoles are made with 100% sheepskin material, which means feet will stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  These insoles can be trimmed to correct size, allow feet to breath, and offer pure luxurious comfort.
• Dr. Rosenberg’s Cool Soles - These gel soles are designed to provide cold and hot therapy so one can experience instant relief.  Cold therapy can reduce discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis, arch pain, and tendonitis; and hot therapy can ease sore muscles, alleviate joint pain, and warm up feet.

Having healthy feet on Christmas day really allows us to truly kick back and unwind.  So when the time comes to start stuffing Christmas stockings for your friends and family, you can’t go wrong using items from HealthyFeetStore.com because receiving podiatrist approved foot care products as gifts can really be the icing on the cake on Christmas day.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is have
Healthy Feet on Christmas day!
