Here are some suggestions from foot experts on getting those tootsies ready for summer and turning funky feet to fit.

The season of use and abuse — People tend to exercise, hike, walk, travel and play sports more when the weather gets warm.

"And women are drawn to strappy, flimsy high heels and flip-flops," said Dr. Christine Dobrowolski, a podiatrist and author who has a foot health information website: www.northcoastfootcare.com .

"Repeated exposure to water in swimming or surfing can cause dry skin, as will repeated exposure to chemicals such as chlorine in pools and spas," she said. Also, when the temperature increases, "our feet tend to sweat more, which also increases the chances for developing fungal infections, like athlete's foot.

"Hammertoes, crooked or curled toes or bunions could have existed throughout the winter but the switch from a roomy boot or big shoe to tight dress shoes or sandals or even tight-fitting biking shoes can lead to excess rubbing and irritation," Dobrowolski said.
