[H2] Children’s Feet
Examine children’s feet frequently and when buying shoes have them properly measured with the child standing.
Children’s feet grow very quickly and shoes may need changing every 3-6 months. New shoes should allow sufficient room for growth and movement of the toes.
Socks should never be too small and must allow the toes to fan out naturally.
Do not pass on shoes from one child to another even if they appear to be in good condition and the correct size.
In young growing children barefoot is best wherever possible.

[H2] Adults’ Feet
By adulthood, deviation of the big toe has already occurred in many cases, so bunions are an all too frequent probability.
Up until the age of eleven years, boys and girls stand an equal chance of toe deviation. After this, women appear to out-number the men ten to one.
The culprits are very frequently high heeled pointed shoes that force the toes to the front and crowd them for more than a couple of hours each day.
If your job entails standing for many hours, take a pair of roomy shoes or sandals that will allow your feet to swell without distortion. When buying winter shoes, remember that you could be wearing them with thicker socks or tights so allow extra room.

[H2] Elderly Feet
Misshapen feet in old age are not inevitable but years of mistreatment and neglect will naturally produce old feet. It is never too late to care for your feet and in old age, when your feet are less supple, well-fitting shoes with plenty of support are even more essential.
Your favourite pair of shoes are not necessarily the best ones, especially if they are well worn. The danger is that, without realising it, you gradually alter the way you walk to compensate for the wear.

[H2] Advice for diabetics
Diabetics have very sensitive feet. A small cut or bruise which others would not bother about can become a nasty slow healing ulcer in a diabetic so:
Only wear low heeled shoes with plenty of room for your toes. Wear shoes that fasten with a lace or a strap
Put on clean socks or hosiery every day
Wash your feet daily with warm water and mild soap, dry thoroughly
Dry skin should be rubbed with moisturising cream
Nails should be cut straight across. Never cut down the sides of the nails
Your feet should be checked daily for problems. Look for any colour changes, swellings, pain or throbbing, any sores, blisters or areas of weeping moisture (which may be beneath a nail or a corn)
Visit your diabetic clinic or qualified Chiropodist/Podiatrist regularly
Know the risks of Diabetic Foot Ulceration
Always seek your Podiatrist’s or Doctor’s advice
Never:
Use hot water bottles and electric blankets
Toast your feet in front of the fire
Remove callouses or corns – this is a job for a professionally qualified chiropodist
Go barefoot
Dismiss seeking professional attention if you should injure your foot
Self-treat – see your diabetic clinic, your doctor or your professionally qualified chiropodist
Diabetics should not use any medicated corn, callous or verruca removal treatments without their doctor’s permission

Carnation Footcare is a range of products created and produced by Cuxson Gerrard & Co Ltd of Oldbury, West Midlands and has been taking care of the nation’s feet for over 100 years.
Cuxson Gerrard & Co Ltd was founded in 1878 as a surgical dressings manufacturer and has pioneered many new product developments earning a reputation for reliability and quality. The company is a leader in the research, development and manufacture of adhesive coated dressings, specialising in medicated dressings and adhesive paddings for podiatry and medical use.
In 1885 Cuxson Gerrard operated from a site in Fountain Lane in Oldbury that later became the main factory until 1995, when they moved to a modern, purpose built manufacturing facility with a research and development laboratory in Broadwell Road, Oldbury, which has helped maintain the company’s position as the leading producer of podiatry products worldwide.

One of Cuxson Gerrard’s product ranges is the Carnation range of footcare products, which are manufactured to be sold to the public through pharmacy and retail outlets. In 1922 Cuxson Gerrard invented the Corn Cap, calling it ‘Carnation’ and the Carnation Brand has become one of the company’s most famous consumer brands. Over the years the branding and packaging have changed as the various pack photographs show.
The Carnation Brand continues to prosper both at home and abroad. The range now comprises more than 60 products and is marketed in every continent – apart from Antarctica.
