National I Love My Feet Day

At National I Love My Feet Day, we bring up a variety of issues that concern our feet. Many associate them with something rough and do not pay due attention to them, however, the legs carry the load of the body daily and experience various stresses. Negligence towards them is unacceptable!

The History

National Day was invented by Carolyn Jenkins, she meant that on this date people would remember about their legs and, in which case, turn to specialists. Many, unfortunately, do not visit doctors until the last, even if there are problems with the limbs.

You can take care of your feet at home, preventing various diseases: wear the right shoes, remove dead skin in time, do a pedicure, use emollient creams and scrubs, etc.

Carolyn introduced the holiday in 2015 in May, and in August the date became official.
