We don’t like to talk about it, but most of us get it.  I’m talking about Athlete’s Foot, or tinea pedis as it’s known in the medical world.  Caused by the Tricophyton fungus, it is estimated that as much as 70% of the population experiences Athlete’s Foot at some point in their lives.  Have you ever had itchy, flaking, blistering, or peeling skin in-between your toes or on the bottom of your feet?  Well, then, you’ve probably had it.  But those aren’t the only places this pesky fungus likes to hide.  Any flap of skin that provides a moist environment will feel like home sweet home to the Trichophyton.  If this fungus gets into your foot nooks, you won’t want to wear flirty shoes like the peep-toe pumps shown in this story.   Here are a few tips to help you combat and prevent Athlete’s Foot, so that your skin’s true beauty can shine forth unabated.

Everyone has that pair of shoes they love to wear all the time. You know the ones — a tad weathered but ultra comfy and still stylin’. It’s that pair of shoes you wish would last forever, but sadly (unless you had enough foresight to buy six pairs), they’ll eventually wear out and end up getting the boot, so to speak. At the same time, don’t we all have that pair of shoes we’ve made a significant investment in? The ones we hardly ever wear but tread on like they’re made of glass when we do? With all our soles inevitably wearing thin, how do we maximize the life and investment of our shoes?

Every year when the wet weather returns we’re forced to toss our suede
boots and flats back in the closet until dryer days. Instead of
stifling your style, protect your suede instead of keeping it sheltered
and enjoy the fashion freedom that you’re entitled to, rain or shine.
We found a nine step solution on eHow.com that’ll keep you draped in suede from
January to January, if you so chose.
