i. Taking off those socks? Quick! Sprinkle some talcum on your feet-for others' sake! Bonus: your feet will stay sweat and stench-free for hours.

ii. Knock your socks off! Walk barefoot on the grass or even on your floor awhile. Relaxes your feet, boosts circulations, feels gooood.

iii. Step out of your comfort (shoe) zone! Change footwear daily. Open sandals today, closed shoes tomorrow. See, now you have a healthy excuse to go shoe shopping!

iv. So what if your shoes aren't as precious as diamond rings? Pamper them just as well--wrap 'em up in tissue instead of ordinary newspaper.

Reason: sometimes, newsprint leaks on to shoes, and you don't want to make 'footlines,' do you?
Hang up your boots-and shoes, and sandals on specially made hangers. Lets them breathe and keeps them smelling nice. Plus you get to pick out the ones you need at one glance!
