December Tip of the Month: Keep Holiday Travel Foot-Friendly

The average person walks between 8,000-10,000 steps a day—but that number dramatically increases during the holiday season. As expert and rookie travelers alike continue making their holiday travel plans, it’s easy to forget that the feet often bear the brunt of aches and pains while on the road.

From inappropriate footwear choices to inadequate foot and leg circulation from prolonged sitting, the journey from point A to point B can often leave travelers with sore soles. Whether traveling by plane, train or automobile, keep the following foot care tips and techniques in mind to minimize aches and pains in the legs and feet:

Be mindful of footwear choices. While you may be tempted to don the hottest footwear styles of the season while on the go, ditch the 3-inch high heels and snug dress shoes in favor of a comfortable, supportive athletic shoe. This allows for your feet to breathe and receive ample cushioning, helping to prevent ingrown and bruised toenails. Additionally, avoid wearing socks that constrict above the ankle area.

Walk around. For every 45 minutes you spend sitting down while traveling, make time to stand and walk around for five minutes. Sitting for long periods of times restricts blood flow to the legs and feet, which can lead to swelling and, in extreme cases, blood clots of the legs.

Exercise your feet. While sitting, roll your ankles and point toes up and down to encourage blood flow. If your feet begin to swell, unlace your shoes.

Pack a foot care emergency kit. Be prepared: in case of a minor foot problem, pack adhesive bandages, foot powder, antibiotic cream, tweezers, and nail clippers in your toiletry bag.
