Foot Care Tips for Teachers

Take your time breaking in new shoes. Leather dress shoes, in particular, may start stiff and stretch after you’ve worn them a few times. However, don’t dedicate one day, or one extended walking session, to breaking in your shoes. Trying to wear new shoes for a full day of teaching, including running after kids on the playground, is likely to lead to pain and blisters. Instead, wear new shoes a bit at a time – for example, walking around the house or running quick errands – so that they loosen naturally.
