Accessories for comfortable walking
Comfort walking accessories belong to the Insoles category and include products that may help make everyday walking, standing and wearing shoes more comfortable. These accessories are used as support for foot comfort, skin protection from friction and regular care of dry, rough or thickened areas of the feet.
This category includes shoe accessories and products for home foot care. Properly selected accessories may be useful when footwear rubs, presses the heel, causes discomfort or when the feet need additional care after long walking, standing or wearing closed shoes.
Comfort walking accessories do not replace properly selected footwear, orthopedic examination or treatment when pronounced pain, foot deformity, swelling, wounds or walking problems are present. With recurring discomfort, it is important to find the cause, not only temporarily reduce the consequences.

Pharmacist’s advice
Choose comfort walking accessories according to the area of discomfort and the type of footwear you wear. If a shoe accessory creates pressure, moves the foot or causes new blisters, check whether it fits the footwear. Products for removing thickened skin should be used carefully, without aggressive filing and without application on wounds, cuts, inflamed or infected skin. If you have diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation in the feet, deep cracks, pain, swelling or sores, do not treat the feet by yourself without professional advice.
