Foot care products

A multitude of foot care products are available in the market both for functional and cosmetic aspect of foot care.Most of us are aware of the existence of foot care products but we are not sure about how effective they are or how they can be used.


Functional footcare products include orthotics such as insoles,heel cushions and arch supports. Insoles and heel cushions are mostly used to take care of heel pain,plantar fascitis and foot pain. Arch supports are used to correct deformities of foot such as flat foot. Most of these products are made of silicon, which is considered as effective in distributing body weight in the proper manner. Even a healthy person with no foot problems can wear soft insoles to protect his feet from too much pressure. This will be helpful for doctors, nurses and salesman who will be on their feet most of their work hours.Various toe or digit supports are also available which help us to manage the toe problems such as injuries of toe, hammer toes and bunions

These products are made from essential oils and natural extracts to protect against infections and odour. Foot massager eases the tired foot giving it gentle strokes in warm water
