New research* from The College of Podiatry shows that 90 per cent of men and women experience some sort of foot problem, with 20 per cent admitting to suffering with foot pain often or constantly. Despite this, only 23 per cent of people who have suffered a foot problem have sought professional help and 16 per cent admit to ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away. When it comes to professional help, four in 10 don’t what a podiatrist does.

The most common foot problems suffered in the UK include:

Hard, dry skin on the feet – 60% Blisters – 51% Rubbing from footwear – 40% Aching, sore feet – 38% Athlete’s foot – 26% Sore, tight calf muscles – 24% Ingrown toenails – 18% Corns and callus - 14% Bunions – 10%
