Foot Health Care

If you are are over 40, you have probably worn dozens of shoes and probably walked a lot of miles. It is not surprising that decades of walking can leave their mark on your feet. Aging brings many changes to your feet, which can leave them more likely to hurt. Pain in your feet is not normal, so it is not part of being old.

Foot health over years

The shape of your feet may change. The arch under the foot begins to collapse as ligaments become more lax. This can lead to pain in the arch and heel of your feet. You can try buying longer shoes to accommodate your changing feet. This will usually help.

The natural fat padding in your feed that helps cushion your weigth tends to dwindle with age. If this happens it can leave the bones in the balls of your feet with less protection, causing foot pain.

Changing skin. The blood circulation to your feet decreases as you get older. This can also lead to the loss of fat padding. Your skin will also become thinner and drier which can lead to cracks in your feet.

Do not accept age related foot pain.
