Ladies Golf Shoes � Avoid Athlete's Foot

One of the main reasons to invest in a pair of good quality ladies golf shoes is to keep your feet nice and healthy for when you step back into your stilettos.

Good quality ladies golf shoes

One of the reasons it's so important to buy good quality ladies golf shoes is to keep your feet healthy. Golf shoes can get wet playing golf, especially on marshy courses or during the rainy season from dew and rain. But also, ladies and men's golf shoes can get wet internally from perspiring, especially if you are walking for five hours in hot conditions. It's estimated that around a shot glass of water is released during a round into ladies and men's golf shoes. One of the problems of not keeping your feet dry can be infections such as athlete's foot.

What is athlete's foot?

Athlete's foot is a fungal infection caused by parasites on the skin that can attack the soles and toes of the feet and the palms of the hands.

What causes it?

The fungi that causes athlete's foot is in all of our bodies and can be found on dead skin � it is usually harmless. But if you don't have adequate ladies or men's golf shoes that help keep the feet dry you are more at risk of getting athlete's foot. Fungi that causes Athlete's foot thrives in warm, moist places, which means it can be a huge problem for people who wear tight-fitting trainers or don't dry their feet properly.

Proper golf shoes

If you don't invest in proper ladies and men's golf shoes and get the fungal infection, it is extremely contagious and can be spread through skin contact or indirectly through towels, shoes and even the floor. This makes changing rooms particularly dangerous places.

What are the symptoms?

Even if you do have proper ladies and men's golf shoes to keep your feet dry, you could therefore still catch Athlete's foot. The symptoms are:

• A red itchy rash in the spaces between the toes and possibly small pustules.
• Scaling on your skin in the affected area.
• It can spread to other parts of the body.
• Infection on the soles of the feet looks like chalked lines and if untreated could spread to the palm of your hands, before resembling eczema.

Golf shoes

If you are a golfer or athlete chances are you wear trainers, which put you at increased risk. Invest in a proper pair of ladies or men's golf shoes to reduce this risk.

If you do have the infection, wash the feet daily and ensure they are dry before putting on your golf shoes or any footwear. Use a separate towel for your feet and do not share that towel. Change your socks if they become damp and stick to cotton. Breathable shoes, such as ladies and men's golf shoes will help. You should also use an antifungal powder and cream for two weeks after the rash goes to ensure it clears fully.
