4 Foot Health Facts You Didn’t Know
Have you thought about your feet today? Chances are that you only think about your feet when they are bothering you somehow.

Whatever the case, it’s not likely that you think about your feet unless there is a problem! In today’s blog from Steri Shoe, we’ll talk about four of our favorite foot health facts to keep you more informed about this prominent part of your body that deserves just a little more attention.
Foot Changes May Point to Bigger Health Problems
Surprisingly, your feet can be a good indicator of what’s going on in your body and your overall health.

These symptoms can indicate high blood pressure, arthritis, and even nerve problems or diabetes.
