As silly as it may sound, our feet don’t get the credit they deserve. Whether you kick them up, dip ‘em in, or start off on the right one, your feet play a huge role in your everyday life, and help you walk, run, and explore. That’s why we’re teaming up with our friends at American Diabetes Association for National Foot Health Awareness Month – in hopes of inspiring people to be more conscientious about their foot health. If you’re ready to show your little piggies some lovin’, here’s how:

• Invest in comfort: When it comes to shoes or insoles, it’s important to make every step of the day a little softer on your feet. By opting for support, you’ll notice that not only do your feet feel better after a long day, but your body does, too! The more comfort and support you offer your feet, the less pressure your body exerts on your legs, knees and spine. Talk about a win/win!
• Get a massage: Need we say more? If you’ve been debating on whether or not to splurge on a nice foot massage, we’re officially giving you the go ahead (in the name of health, of course)! After days, weeks, or months of neglect, it’s possible that your feet have become victim of tight muscles and pesky knots. If you’re serious about treating yourself but also want to save (it can get pricey!), we recommend investing in a foot massager that you can use in the comfort of your own home.
• Introduce them to VIM & VIGR: A good pair of compression socks is sure to put the pep back into your step. How? Beyond the style they add to your outfit, the graduated compression offered by VIM & VIGR legwear works to increase blood circulation in your legs and feet – leaving them, and you, feeling more energized throughout the day. Additionally, wearing compression helps to prevent swelling, varicose and spider veins, DVT, and more.
