Dr. Ron’s 5 Tips for Men and Their Feet

As a gentleman your hair is always cut, your nails are always trimmed and your body looks great because you are always in the gym. But what about your feet? For some reason, men are always neglecting the two parts of their bodies that allow them to move the way they move. The Quintessential Gentlemen spoke to Dr. Rondrick Williamson a.k.a Dr. Ron. He gave us 5 tips to help gentlemen keep their feet looking as good as the cars they drive.

His background with diabetes has given him all of the knowledge he has surrounding feet and foot health. He has first-hand experience dealing with feet and has seen many extraordinary cases. Someone with diabetes has a higher chance of having problems with their feet, hence why Williamson is keen to spread the word on how to look after your feet properly. If you have diabetes and are experiencing poor foot health, it might be worth investing in some diabetic socks. You can find them in online stores like Wholesale Diabetic Socks (https://www.wholesalediabeticsocks.com/blog/how-are-diabetic-socks-different-than-compression-socks) or perhaps a doctor could prescribe them to you. Either way, you should manage and monitor your foot health when you’re a diabetic as even the smallest change to your condition can have an impact on your feet.

1. Ensure proper fit when selecting a shoe. Measure your feet before purchasing. Tight shoes can result in hammertoes.

2. Wear flip flops in communal areas such as gym showers and public restrooms. This will reduce the risk of fungal infection.

3. Clean between your toes. Oftentimes this area is forgotten.

4. Trim toenails regularly straight across to prevent ingrown nails.

5. Use a daily skin moisturizer. Properly hydrated skin is healthy skin.
