If you've ever had burning and itching between your toes and noticed red pustules, you've probably experienced athlete's foot. Tinea pedis, or athlete's foot, is a contagious fungal infection normally found on the feet, toenails, and sometimes the hands. The fungus that gives you athlete's foot grows in warm, moist environments, and left untreated, can cause great discomfort. The fungus is often in locker rooms, shower areas, and around swimming pools. When you walk barefoot on a surface where the fungus grows, you can catch it. It's advisable to always wear some form of shoes when walking on warm, wet floors to help prevent catching athlete's foot.

If you do have the fungus, use products like Lamisil or Lotrimin topical ointment, Desenex or Silka antifungal foot powder, or Ting athlete's foot antifungal spray with cool relief. For a more natural approach to treating athlete's foot, use spray-on tea tree oil.

Shoe insoles and inserts can help reduce foot, heel, and leg pain as well as foot and leg fatigue. If you notice your feet aching at the end of the day, you might benefit from shoe insoles. Insoles come in a variety of sizes, styles, and materials. If you're unsure of what type of insole or insert to get, consult with your podiatrist so you can order the right product for your feet and issues.

You can get cushioning insoles for high heels, flats, dress shoes, athletic shoes, and work boots and shoes. Many of the inserts help reduce the chance of getting painful blisters, help with odor control, and add a level of softness to a hard shoe. Add shoe insoles and inserts to your Instacart order to help you walk in comfort.

When you have shoes that don't fit properly, your feet may end up with unsightly and painful corns and calluses. Corns and calluses are created when a portion of your foot has too much pressure or friction and hardened skin builds up to protect the foot. Calluses can simply be filed to reduce them using electronic or manual callus files.

Corns require a special type of treatment to help reduce or eliminate them. Corns tend to be painful and are smaller than calluses. They generally develop in non-weight-bearing areas such as the tops or sides of the toes or even between your toes. Corns have a small hard center surrounded by inflamed skin.

When you start your Instacart order for corn and callus treatments, add products like Dr. Scholl's corn remover pads or liquid with salicylic acid to remove corns and Tweezerman file stones to help get rid of calluses.
