Summer-Ready Feet

Get your feet ready for sandals this summer.

It's sandal time! Dermatologist Dee Anna Glaser and podiatrist Cary Zinkin give tips on keeping feet dry:

• Avoid sandals made of sweat-inducing plastic, rubber or fake leather.



• Look for cotton or other absorbent linings. Or soak up excess sweat with absorbent insoles, such as new Summer Soles (summersoles.com).



• Spray antiperspirant on the bottom of your feet and between toes.



• Dust with cornstarch or Zeasorb, a super-absorbent powder.

If feet smell or are red and itchy, you may have athlete's foot.
