The three enemies of travel feet
Dehydration, immobility, and unfamiliar shoes. Address these and 90% of travel foot problems disappear.
In-flight
- Walk the aisle every 90 minutes.
- Ankle pumps and toe curls at your seat.
- Compression socks (15-20 mmHg) for flights over 4 hours.
On the ground
- Break in walking shoes at home first — never on day one abroad.
- Pack a second pair to rotate.
- Blister patches in your day bag, always.
