Guide Review - Happy Feet! Foot Care Advice for Walkers and Travelers
Orthopedic technician John Vonhof knows feet. He conducts foot care clinics and trains medical staffs for long distance walks and runs. This 36-page booklet distills down his wisdom for walkers and is packed with excellent advice. His writing is clear and keeps it simple. Drawings and diagrams help as well. He covers all of the essential aspects of taking care of your feet through proper shoes, socks, insoles, and lacing. Then he explores injury prevention through using lubricants, powder, or taping to prevent blisters and keep walking despite blisters. This booklet would make a great addition to a gift basket or as a stocking stuffer.
