When it comes to personal hygiene, our feet are often overlooked—despite the fact that they quite literally, carry us through each day. Poor foot hygiene can lead to issues like calluses, odor, infections and dry skin. Fortunately, keeping your feet clean and healthy doesn’t require a complicated routine—just a few consistent habits can make all the difference. 

1. Wash Your Feet Daily (And Thoroughly)

It sounds simple, but many people neglect to really wash their feet in the shower. Don't just let soapy water run over them—use a mild soap and gently scrub the top, bottom, and between the toes. Rinse thoroughly and dry your feet completely to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to fungal infections like athlete’s foot.

2. Keep Your Toenails Trimmed and Clean

Long or jagged toenails can trap dirt and bacteria and increase your risk of ingrown toenails. Trim nails straight across to avoid irritation and gently file the edges. Always use clean nail clippers and avoid sharing tools to minimize the risk of infection.

3. Moisturize 

Dry, cracked feet are not only uncomfortable but can also be an entry point for bacteria. Using Pedestrian Project’s Cracked Heel Repair restores moisture, particularly around rough, dry heels, and creates an invisible layer of protection. Following with a good foot cream like Pedestrian’s  Walker's Cream, doubles down on moisture and leaves skin soft, smooth and supple.

Final Thoughts
Healthy feet are happy feet. By incorporating these three simple habits into your routine, you'll reduce the risk of infection, prevent discomfort, and feel more confident with every step you take.
