Dry scaly skin and how to treat it
 The skin on the foot is up to five times thicker than elsewhere. So it is possible to have a fungal infection on the soles of your feet without too many symptoms.
In normal skin, a fungal infection would be red, itchy, have little vesicles and appear scaly.
In feet it is quite common to have dry, scaling feet without the redness or itchiness. In other words your dry feet may not just be because you are prone to dry feet, but because you have a superficial fungal infection that is drying out the skin.

 In this month of February we need to pay special attention to loved ones. We also know that a little self-care goes a long way so love your feet and give them an at-home-treatment.
The current fashion for exposed toes and near naked feet, demand perfect grooming – soft, smooth soles and neat polished nails. So follow our expert advice and work your way, step-by-step, to healthy, buffed up feet with an at-home-pedicure.

Shoe of the Month - Hunter Wellies
 At this wintry part of winter we look to the old masters for our protective footwear. Wellingtons are lifetime purchases and none come with a greater heritage than Hunter wellies.
Originally made in leather the first rubberised wellingtons started in 1856. They mimicked the new closer cut around the leg popularised by the Duke of Wellington and manufactured in huge numbers for the word wars. Their design is a true classic. The UK's favourite colour of wellington boots is green which is a relative modern design as it only came into production in 1955.
Since we had a dog I have been walking in my (green) wellies and always notice how loose a style of footwear it is. If you over-pronate and walk far in them they can cause pains in legs such as shin splints and arch fatigue. So do wear them with a thick pair of socks and go for styles such as Hunter that are more fitted and have a small but important heel. Also if you notice your foot does slip around then the simple addition of a lambs wool insole or a full length interpod if you do have a tendency to flatfeet then that can be very comfortable.
 New to the Hunter range is a fabulous, crocodile print on the boot in collaboration with Jimmy Choo shoe designers.
Officially a new favourite of Supplefeet! This fabulous makeover from the top-end shoe designers will be a very glamorous addition to wardrobes.
Interesting fact : Well into the 20th century rubber was more valuable than silver.
