Holiday Rush Foot Care for Warehouse and Retail Workers

Peak season is here for warehouse and retail workers. For anyone working in a warehouse, distribution center, or store, November and December bring longer shifts, more overtime, and hours on your feet. By the end of the week, your feet may need extra care. Thankfully, a few simple habits can help.

Rotate Shoes and Get Prepared

Wearing the same pair of shoes or boots every day means the cushioning never gets a chance to recover, and sweat might not fully dry out overnight.

If you can, keep two comfortable, worn-in pairs and alternate them between shifts. Your feet get fresh support, and your shoes last longer too. New insoles can be a great investment, as well.

Another tip:order a foot callus lotion online before your schedule fills up. A formula made specifically for callused skin can do more than a conventional body lotion when it comes to keeping your feet feeling soft and smooth.

Pack a Spare Pair of Socks 

Damp socks can create a less-than-ideal environment for the feet. They can also increase friction. Both factors are reasons calluses build up on your heels and the balls of your feet. Toss a spare pair in your bag and swap at lunch. Socks that wick moisture can also make a noticeable difference on long days.

Apply Foot Callus Cream Just Before Bed

After a shift, take a few minutes to wash and thoroughly dry your feet, and apply a dedicated cream for dry callused feet to the rough spots on your soles. Look for creams with urea, which helps soften the look of thick skin, and ceramides to support the skin barrier. Give it a few minutes to dry before you pull on socks and head to bed.

Take on Odor While You're at It 

Long hours in closed shoes or boots can leave feet sweaty and less than fresh. A daily foot cream designed for maintenance helps keep skin comfortable, and some formulas are made to help with issues related to sweat and odor. Some options use the same ingredients as a callus cream, like urea and ceramides, just formulated a little differently.

About SOREVNA

SOREVNA began in the clinic of Dr. J. Adrian Wright, a foot and ankle specialist who watched patients struggle with calluses, cracked heels, and dry skin that ordinary lotions did little for. He developed his own formulas, and patient demand turned them into a full skincare line. Natural Foot Therapy Cream and Natural Daily Foot Maintenance Cream combine urea, ceramides, calendula, and allantoin with other botanicals, and every SOREVNA product is Leaping Bunny Certified as cruelty-free.
