Foot Wear

There are a number of foot conditions that can result over time from shoes that don't fit properly. These include plantar fasciitis, bunions, corns and calluses, Morton's neuroma metatarsalgia, and toe conditions such as hammer toes/claw toes and ingrown toenails. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that affects the feet. This condition affects more men than women. One reason why this affects more men than women is the fact that men wear shoes and socks more often than women. The heat that results from the wearing of shoes and socks for long periods makes the feet sweat more. The dampened condition of the feet make it susceptible for fungal infection.
