Hey Divas,
So I posted a bit last season about my feet falling asleep in my boots and the adjustments that were made, etc. One of the questions I was asked by the guy adjusting my boots was if my feet fell asleep in my shoes. When he first asked the question, I was surprised and said I didn't think so cuz I hadn't noticed it? But as the months have gone on, I have noticed my FEET do fall asleep or muscles feel sensitive in certain shoes (I have a pair of running shoes that make my toes in one foot fall asleep, muscles start to hurt in one foot if I walk too far in sandals, etc.).
Now I'm thinking there might be something to the actual state of my feet and not so much my boots. I literally know nothing about feet care-wise (and spent many years dancing (not pointe) and beating them up soo haha) so I don't know where to start. I also have a theory that they have swelled since I put on a lot of weight last summer/fall (which I'm working on removing currently haha). Do I see a podiatrist to get a check-up? Add in a nightly foot massage to my routine? I did find that massaging my feet before putting on ski boots last season significantly helped with reducing fatigue.
Any thoughts or advice is appreciated, want to get ahead of the ski season now
