Keeping feet cool this summer.

With the weather warming up, it’s important to keep feet cool and fresh to avoid discomfort and risk of infection. Read our top tips and product recommendations to ensure your feet are kept cool and comfortable.

1. Invest in some breathable footwear

Firstly, letting your feet breathe and stay cool is essential in warm weather. One great way to achieve this is by investing in breathable shoes, so we recommend Archies Footwear for the perfect combination of comfort and ventilation. Their Arch Support Flip Flops combine the style of a modern flip flop with the same level of support as a typical orthotic. Plus, the specialised closed-cell foam material and patented footbed not only mould and conform to your feet but also cradle and support your arches, placing them in the most biomechanically appropriate position. Available in a range of colours in both slides and flip flops.

2. Keep feet smelling fresh

Additionally, to prevent and remove odour that can coincide with hot weather, we recommend trying a deodorising foot spray/cream. For example, a great product like this is the Gehwol Foot & Shoe Deodorant Spray, which includes Zinc ricinoleate to prevent and remove odour on the feet and in the shoes, making it perfect for summer. 

3. Try a cooling cream

Comparatively, using a cooling cream can help to relieve discomfort caused by hot feet and leave you feeling refreshed. One we love is the Spirularin Cracked Heel Cooling Cream. It combines intense moisturising and nourishing properties with the anti-microbial protection of Spiralin, which protects against infections, whilst also having a cooling effect. 

4. Wear socks that allow your feet to breathe

Many socks are made from synthetic materials that trap heat and moisture, leading to sweaty feet and irritation. However, a brand that tackles this issue is Thought, bamboo and organic cotton socks. Their fabrics are sustainable and natural, with bamboo cooling you down or warming you up as needed. As a result, these socks are naturally breathable, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, so your feet stay happy and healthy.
