you may well find is much more comfortable than thin cotton socks or tights or hosiery.
In terms of moisturising or corns and callus, that becomes much more contextual.
Lots of people will moisturise just because they moisturise other parts of their body as part of their normal daily routine.
If that applies to you, then including your feet is great.
If you don't have dry, cracked skin, then I wouldn't say that you need to agonise about starting up a moisturising regime.
If you do have dry or cracked skin, there are...
products that you can buy generic products or there are products that sell themselves as being specifically for dry skin but when we come to corns and callus if you have corns they're going to be very difficult to remove yourself so they're little areas within a patch of callus where the skin has changed even further it develops a little sharp nucleus and they can be really quite painful and they're quite difficult to get rid of yourself because you really need to pop them out of the scalpel and i wouldn't advocate that most people do that themselves
Callus is a slightly different one because if you have no risk factors, if you have a good blood supply and you can get down to your feet and access the bit you need to access fairly readily, you can get rid of callus with a rasp or a skin file and you can do that pretty safely.
If you can't reach, then obviously you might need to seek professional help.
And if you have any other conditions that might put you at risk, such as diabetes or impaired peripheral blood supply or loss of sensation, then I certainly wouldn't advocate that you do it yourself.
That's certainly where you should put yourself in the care of a professional and have somebody do it who knows what they're doing and doesn't put you at increased risk.
It's a controversial question because there are some groups of practitioners who believe very strongly in the role of exercise exercises.
exercises in maintaining foot health.
I'm personally not a convert.
I haven't seen any good trial evidence that muscle exercises for feet will actually improve anything.
Exercise other parts of the body and you make them stronger.
So I wouldn't say don't do it.
It would be a case of if it works for you, carry on doing it.
But I wouldn't necessarily say we all ought to take it up.
Some of the things that will happen to you in the course of your life may cause changes that are irreversible.
