Invest in supportive, weather-appropriate footwear to shield your feet from the harsh elements and prevent exposure to cold temperatures, moisture, and potential hazards.

Additionally, practice good foot hygiene by keeping your toenails trimmed, dry, and clean to prevent fungal infections and bacterial growth.
