Podiatrists affiliated with the UCLA Medical Group offer the following tips for helping maintain healthy feet and avoiding complications. The physicians are board-certified, provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of all foot and ankle conditions, and also have expertise in the management of diabetic foot problems and sports injuries.

10 Tips to Maintain Healthy Feet

1. Inspect your feet regularly and pay attention to changes in color, texture or appearance.

2. Maintain good foot hygiene, including washing and drying between the toes.

3. Hydrate the skin. Hot weather and open shoes can cause rapid loss of moisture from the skin and may result in cracking or the formation of fissures. It is helpful to replace the moisture content by using lotions or creams on a regular basis.

4. Buy proper-size shoes. You may not wear the same size in shoes made by different manufacturers. Purchase new shoes late in the day, when feet tend to be at their largest. Always buy the shoes that feel the best.

5. Don't ignore foot pain. Symptoms that increase or do not resolve within a reasonable period of time need to be evaluated by your podiatric physician.

6. Cut toenails straight across. Never cut into the corners - this could cause an ingrown toenail. Gently file away sharp corners or rough edges with an emery board.

7. Exercise. Walking is a great way to keep weight under control and is an excellent conditioner for the feet. Be sure to wear appropriate athletic shoes when exercising.

8. Alternate your shoes each day. Since the feet have sweat glands, your shoes will absorb moisture from your feet, so it is important to allow your shoes to dry out completely.

9. Avoid walking barefoot to help protect your feet from injury and infection.

10. Put sunblock on your feet while wearing sandals during the day to avoid sunburn.

本人不是学英语出身，英语也是很蹩脚的，随便翻译了一下，大家也就看个大概，希望英语比较好的网友帮忙翻译一下。
谢谢了


1、有规律的经常检查你的脚，注意它的颜色、皮肤纹理和外观
2、保持脚的卫生，包括洗和干燥脚趾头
3、保持皮肤湿润。热的天气和通气的鞋会导致皮肤的水分丢失，有可能造成皮肤干裂。经常用些护肤霜来保持皮肤的水分是有帮助的
4、买合适的鞋。不同厂家生产的鞋，鞋号标准不一定一样。建议在白天晚些时候买鞋，因为这个时候脚最大。要买那种穿起来最舒服的鞋。
5、不要不理睬脚部的疼痛。症状增加或不明原因要咨询内分泌科的医生。
6、平着剪脚趾甲，不要剪刀指甲缝，那样容易导致“钩指甲”。用一把指甲锉刀轻轻的撮指甲
7、锻炼。走路是一个控制体重和调节脚的很好的方法。运动时确定要穿合适的运动鞋
8、每天换鞋。因为脚上有汗腺，会出汗，而鞋会吸潮气。把鞋彻底晾干是很重要的
9、为了避免受伤或感染，建议不要光着脚走路
10、穿凉鞋的时候，在脚上涂一些防晒霜，以免皮肤被晒黑

一双脚的学问这么大呀!谢谢分享.
