12 Essential Steps to Prep your Feet for Summer 2025

As warm weather approaches, it’s time to get your feet ready for summer sandals. Let’s explore 12 essential steps to prepare your feet for the summer 2025, making sure they look and feel great. Taking care of your feet not only makes them look better but also helps keep them healthy during the warmer months.

Most Common Foot Issues in Summer 2025

1. Start with a Thorough Cleanse

Begin by soaking your feet in warm water for about 10 minutes. This helps soften the skin and get it ready for cleaning. You can add Epsom salts or a few drops of tea tree oil to the water to help soothe tired feet and fight germs. After cleaning, try using Moisturising Foot Socks to keep your feet soft and hydrated overnight.

2. Exfoliate Dead Skin

It’s important to remove dead skin cells regularly to prevent hard patches on your feet. Use a gentle foot scrub or the Hard Skin Remover to smooth out rough areas. Focus on parts of your feet that often get dry, like heels and the balls of your feet. Do this once or twice a week, but be gentle to avoid irritating your skin.

3. Address Cracked Heels

Cracked heels can look bad and feel uncomfortable. Use Intensive Repair Cracked Heel Cream to add moisture and help heal them. This cream has 25% Urea which helps soften and remove dry skin. Put a lot of cream on clean, dry feet before bed and wear cotton socks. This lets the cream work all night to fix cracked heels. For really dry heels, gently use a pumice stone before applying the cream.

4. Tackle Fungal Issues

Don’t let fungal problems ruin your summer. Treat athlete’s foot quickly with Mycosan Athlete’s Foot Treatment. For fungal nail infections, use Mycosan Fungal Nail Treatment. These treatments get rid of 99.9% of fungus and work fast. It’s important to treat fungal issues early because they can get worse if left alone. Make sure your feet are clean and dry before using these treatments. Keep using them for as long as recommended, even if they seem better. Also, wear shoes that let your feet breathe and avoid walking barefoot in public places to prevent getting fungal infections again.

5. Moisturise Daily

Keep your feet soft by moisturising them every day. The skin care range has different options to suit your needs. Regular moisturising helps stop your feet from getting dry and cracking, which is really important when you’re wearing sandals. Look for moisturisers with ingredients like urea, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid, which are good at keeping skin hydrated. Put moisturiser on right after bathing or soaking your feet, when your skin is still a bit damp. This helps lock in moisture. Pay extra attention to dry areas like your heels and between your toes. Remember, doing this every day is key for keeping your feet healthy and looking good.

6. Trim and Shape Nails

Well-groomed nails are important for feet that look good in sandals. Cut your nails straight across and file any sharp edges to prevent ingrown toenails. The Micro File is great for smoothing and shaping nails carefully. When trimming, don’t cut nails too short or round the corners, as this can cause ingrown toenails. Try to keep your nails at a medium length, just at or a little below the tip of your toes. After trimming, use the Micro File to gently smooth any rough edges. This not only makes your nails look better but also stops them from catching on socks. If you have thick nails, you might need a special file made for tougher nails. Taking care of your toenails regularly not only makes them look nicer but also helps keep your feet healthy overall.

7. Protect Against Blisters

New sandals can sometimes cause blisters. Be ready with blister prevention products to make sure your sandals are comfortable to wear. Choose sandals with soft, wide straps to reduce rubbing and lower the risk of blisters. When wearing new sandals for the first time, start by wearing them for short periods and slowly increase how long you wear them. If you feel any sore spots developing, put on a blister prevention product right away. For extra protection, you can use moleskin pads or silicone gel inserts in areas that tend to get blisters. These can provide cushioning and reduce friction between your foot and the sandal. If you do get a blister, don’t pop it, as this can lead to infection. Instead, cover it with a clean bandage or blister plasters and let it heal on its own.

8. Manage Bunions and Corns

If you have bunions or corns, don’t let them ruin your sandal season. Try special products for relief and protection. Look for sandals with a wide toe box to fit these foot problems comfortably. For bunions, use a bunion cushion or protector to reduce pressure and rubbing. These can be really helpful when wearing sandals that might otherwise hurt the affected area. For corns, use corn cushions to relieve pressure and discomfort. When choosing sandals, pick styles with adjustable straps that let you customise the fit around problem areas. Also, doing exercises that strengthen the muscles in your feet and toes can help manage bunions and stop them from getting worse. Remember, if bunions or corns cause ongoing pain, talk to a foot doctor for professional advice and treatment options.

9. Soothe Tired Feet

After wearing sandals all day, give your feet some care. Use products that help relieve tiredness and make your feet feel relaxed. A gentle foot massage can help blood flow and reduce swelling. Try using a cooling foot gel or spray to refresh tired feet, especially on hot summer days. For extra soothing, soak your feet in cool water with some peppermint oil or lavender, which are known to be refreshing and calming. Lifting your feet up for 15-20 minutes at the end of the day can also help reduce swelling and improve blood flow. If your feet often feel tired, think about getting supportive insoles for your sandals to provide extra cushioning and arch support throughout the day.

10. Address Foot Odour

Keep your feet fresh and odour-free with products that fight smells. Good foot hygiene is important for wearing sandals confidently. Remember to let your sandals air out between wears to prevent bacteria from growing. To fight foot odour, make sure your feet are completely dry before putting on sandals, especially between your toes. Use an antibacterial foot spray or powder in your shoes and on your feet to help control bacteria that cause odours. For a natural approach, try soaking your feet in warm water with apple cider vinegar, which can help neutralise odours and balance the pH of your skin. Switching between different pairs of sandals and not wearing the same pair two days in a row can also help prevent odour build-up. If foot odour continues despite these steps, it might be worth talking to a foot doctor to check for any underlying issues.

11. Protect Against Sun Damage

Don’t forget to put sunscreen on your feet when wearing open sandals. Protect the delicate skin on your feet from harmful sun rays. This often-forgotten step is crucial for preventing sunburn and long-term skin damage. Choose a sunscreen that protects against all types of UV rays with an SPF of at least 30, and put it on again every two hours or after swimming or sweating a lot. Pay special attention to the tops of your feet and toes, as these areas are particularly exposed to the sun. For extra protection, consider wearing sandals with built-in UV protection or choosing styles that cover more of your foot during the middle of the day when the sun is strongest. Remember that even on cloudy days, UV rays can still cause damage, so make putting on sunscreen part of your daily foot care routine during the summer months.

12. Maintain Your Foot Care Routine

Consistency is key in foot care. Set up a regular routine using Profoot products to keep your feet in great condition throughout the summer and beyond. Regular care will ensure your feet stay healthy and ready for sandals all season long. Make a weekly schedule for exfoliating, deep moisturising, and nail care. Set reminders on your phone or calendar to help you stick to your routine. Include foot exercises in your daily routine to improve flexibility and strength in your feet and ankles. This can include simple movements like curling your toes, rotating your ankles, and flexing your feet. Pay attention to any changes in your feet, like new discolorations, growths, or ongoing pain, and talk to a professional if you’re worried. By keeping up a consistent foot care routine, you’ll not only have beautiful feet during sandal season but also promote long-term foot health.
