Give Great Gifts for Comfy Feet

Jingle toes, jingle toes, jingle all the way—oh what fun it is to run in the snow without foot pain! Ok, so that’s not how the song goes, but it’s true that enjoying the holiday season is a lot easier when you don’t have foot pain distracting you or your loved ones. That’s why giving thoughtful gifts for comfy feet is a good idea. Not only are these gifts unique, they meet an important need and allow you and your loved ones to celebrate with healthy, comfy feet.

Foot gifts can be as creative or straight-forward as you’d like. It all depends on the foot needs of the person you’re giving the gift to. Here are just a few ideas that may help you if you’re looking for the perfect stocking-stuffer or any other foot-related gifts:

• Massage roller – A massage feels great for sore feet, and a simple massage ball or foot roller allows your loved one to massage out their own aching feet at home.
• Anti-fatigue mats – Standing around in the kitchen to cook and do dishes can be hard when feet hurt, so consider giving a padded standing mat to reduce the pressure on the lower limbs.
• Heel cushions – Sometimes a little extra padding can go a long way. Heel cushions help feet better absorb pressure, which can be great for aching heels.
• Metatarsal pads – If someone you love wears lots of high heels and other stylish, but not comfortable, footwear, metatarsal pads can provide extra cushioning under the ball of the foot and relieve some pain.
• Foot-friendly shoe styles – Certain shoes like Vionic Footwear are particularly foot friendly. Consider helping your loved one pick out a pair for a gift.

Whatever you choose to give your loved ones this holiday season, remember the best gifts come from the heart, even when they fit on the feet.
