A couple of questions

[Gfunk]

Hi,

About to start a new job and I was just wondering if anyone would have any advice regarding what socks and shoes/boots are best for HH sufferers. I'm going to be on my feet a lot so looking for the best types of footwear.

Unfortunately for some reason trainers just set off my HH really bad, so they are ruled out straight away.

I have also been using an Idromed 4 without great success lately but my main problem is that my skin seems to be drying out and its proving pretty painful when doing Ionto. I gave up after ten mins today, constant stinging.

What creams etc may be of use or what could I do?

Cheers in advance

one of the best shoes - particularly if you are on your feet alot:

Merrell Hiking Boots, Shoes & Outdoor Clothing - Official Online Store

the footbed is designed to keep your feet, knees, hips, back properly aligned, so not only do your feet NOT hurt, but your whole body feels better

I'm literally on my feet all day, and I can really tell the difference

You should carry a fresh pair of socks with you, that really helps. Also, you can use bicarbonate (baking soda) to prevent odor. Just sprinkle some in your socks, and on the soles of your shoes. It's a little messy but it really works.

I don't know if you have an equivalent wherever you live, but in Australia I buy these socks called "All Day Socks". They let the feet breathe a lot easier than normal socks.
