Why Do Your Feet Need Protection?

With every step you take, your feet are working hard to keep you safe and balanced. However, that does not mean your feet can't be harmed. Just like the rest of your body, your feet are still susceptible to many ailments and injury.

A good portion of our work day is spent with our feet wrapped in socks and shoes with little ventilation. While your working up a sweat, that excess moisture and poor ventilation could cause your feet to be vulnerable to fungal growth like athlete's foot. Shoes, especially new ones, can rub against your heel can cause painful blisters that invite infection. Even when your out of the office enjoying the feel of your bare feet touching the ground, they can easily collect dirt and bacteria that could make you sick.

So How Do We Keep Our Feet Protected?

One way is to simply give your feet a break. Sitting down and kicking off your shoes after long hours of standing or working can give your feet the breather they need. Even a foot massage can do wonders for their health. Sadly, not all of us can afford to take break. Some us have careers that require us to be on our feet constantly with little chances to sit down. Others may be athletes that must continue training for the next game. Life can not always stop for us, but that does not mean your feet should suffer the consequences.

At Pro-Tect, we can offer you a great way to keep your feet dry and healthy throughout the day. Our moisture wicking socks are designed to eliminate sweat and dampness that often lead to fungal growth. The fabric used also has built in antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that fight infections and can even prevent blisters. With socks like these, your feet will be both comfortable and healthy even after a long day of work.
