Love is in the air this Valentine’s Day. When you think of February 14th, boxes of chocolates, roses, and spending time with that special someone might come to mind. Your feet are probably the last item on your list! This Valentine’s Day, however, show your feet some love by finding your perfect match (when it comes to socks!).

We can be hard on our feet. The average person walks anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 steps a day, which puts a lot of weight and pressure on our feet. Some also opt for fashion over comfort, wearing high heels and narrow shoes that can be tough on our feet. If you’re a runner or engage in intense workouts, that puts even more pressure and stress on your feet.

It’s not uncommon for us to go through the motions of putting on socks without considering what socks we put on our feet. After all, isn’t it the shoe that protects our feet? Everyone can agree that having healthy feet is important, and having comfortable, quality socks is the first step toward foot health!

Treat your feet this Valentine’s Day by paying attention to your foot health, which starts with choosing the right bamboo socks!
