Though often overlooked, sock choice can greatly affect your foot health.

Here's a quick guide ...

We're still weeks away from the scientific beginning of winter, but in many areas it's already cold, or even snowy and icy. Now for many people that means a hearty, "Goodbye, going indoors, see you next spring," with only brief appearances trundling back and forth from cars to buildings in heavy layers of clothes.

A week or so ago, we had a cold snap that my body was completely unprepared for. At night I felt so chilly that I went to bed, bundled up in layers of fleece and of course, warm socks for my icy feet. The next day I found out that I had paid for all that warmth--I had prickly heat ...

My dog is having skin allergy problems. I caught her biting, chewing, and licking a few spots on her legs, making them bright red and angry. There were no signs of fleas, so I whisked her off to the vet, who said they'd been seeing nothing but itchy dogs lately. There's something in the air apparently, that has led to ...

There have been so many times in this blog when I have told you, "Look, it's time to give your feet a break from running. Do something else for a while that won't pound your feet as much.
