There is one part of our bodies that most people forget about until they start to bring us problems. Indeed, feet are those parts of the body that we just cannot do anything without so it is obvious that we need to take good care of them. A foot doctor will know all the ailments that can beset the feet and will surely be able to treat any kind of disease or injury. Just try looking up ‘podiatry’ to see which specialists are in the local area.

The problem with all of us is that at some time in our lives we want to look absolutely fashionable no matter what the cost. Shoes which are totally unsuitable are worn all day and by evening, most of us are suffering for our fashion sense. Through the years there have been some rather weird fashions in shoes but this does not stop us from wearing them in the most inappropriate places.

One of these fashions, which are to blame for a whole raft of complaints, was the stiletto heeled shoe. Those pencil thin heels did nothing for balance, nor did it help the weight distribution of the body. Many women suffered with all kinds of ailments after using this fashion for some years and it is only now that they realize what they did wrong.

No one is saying that wearing fashion is wrong of course, rather, it is good to only use them when the time is right. For example, these heels were certainly not to be worn all day long and by someone who was constantly going up and down stairs. Although they look good on women who sit for most part of the day, even the trip to and from the office was a dangerous time to be wearing them.

Women these days tend to wear only what is right for the occasion but there are still those who want to look like a fashion plate all the time. For these, things like displaced toes, bunions and plantar warts are obviously going to be an issue at some time. Even spines which have been misshapen from too much wearing of this kind of shoe is also on the cards so those who do not want to have these problems later on in life should take care.

Men too are not left out of this particular equation. Since most men wear covered in shoes all day, they are absolutely prime targets for all kinds of fungal infections. In fact, the flaking and itching skin which athletes get is just one of the diseases that are hard to get rid of. Man-made fibers also keep in moisture and this is the right atmosphere for fungal spores to multiply in.

Whatever the problem, it is imperative that the correct specialist is consulted so that the problem can be sent packing very fast. Repeat visits may be necessary for difficult problems but they have to be sorted out for the patient to have any kind of peace.
