Steps to Keep Your Feet Healthy for Life
Foot Health Week October 8-14
With Foot Health Week commencing next Sunday, Kumfs, the leading manufacturer of super-comfy shoes, is calling on Australian women to rethink their footwear choices in order to help keep their feet healthy for life.
The focus for Foot Health Week this year is protecting feet in the workplace, and regardless of industry, choosing appropriate footwear at work is an vital step in ensuring feet are healthy and protected from harm.
Kumfs Australia Retail and Business Development Manager Carole Lewis said that women’s foot health is often overlooked, especially in industries where high heels are de rigeur:
“Many professional women across Australia are forcing their feet into shoes which are too narrow or that have extremely high heels, often for very long hours. The result of this is a higher risk of foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back problems.
“This Foot Health Week we’re encouraging women to think twice about the footwear they choose for the workplace, in order to protect their feet for the future.
“At Kumfs, we’re proud to offer shoes that allow women to enjoy maximum comfort without compromising on style. Our range has something for all tastes and lifestyle needs, whether you work behind a desk or are on your feet all day.”
With features such as top quality leather, arch cushioning to help prevent tired feet and no inside stitching to avoid irritation, Kumfs shoes are a natural choice for women who want to look after their feet.
As summer approaches, Kumfs has just released the Y-Series of wedge sandals, an innovative, stylish new range of open-toed shoes that allow custom-made orthotics to be easily inserted.
The Y-Series includes the ‘Yahoo’, ‘Y-You’ and ‘Yippee’ sandals, all which feature a wedge heel to give the impression of height, yet a gentle pitch, a rocker sole, excellent arch and underfoot support, and gentle cupping of the heel.
