- While purchasing plastic footwear, make sure that the
pair doesn’t have any sharp edges as those could give you shoe bites.
- For this season, particularly, whether you are buying
flat sandals or heels, look for footwear with good grip that hold feet in
place and do not slip when the feet and shoes are wet.

them treated before the rains begin as they will get you through these few
months.
