Vonhof Advice for Your Wet Shoes

Wet shoes are a fact of walking life but you can stop them from becoming an ugly, smelly mess with Jon Vonhof's easy tips. Whether it's rainy season, intense walking and sweating, or puddle-ridden trail terrain that causes your shoes to get wet, Vonhof tells how to keep your shoes in top condition through it all.

Vonhof's background includes teaching medical staff at national endurance events how to treat athlete's foot injuries. Much of his expertise comes from training and work as an orthopedic technician and paramedic as well as his own experiences as an ultramarathoner, marathoner and backpacker.

Happy Feet blog and Vonhof's books on foot care (including the acclaimed Fixing Your Feet) are highly recommended by walking experts. Remember to use these resources, and others from Walktopia's Walkies Awards honoree list, to greet the new year with resolve to make your walks even more fun and beneficial.

Have a Great 2008!
