Hot feet. (The Clinic).I recently moved from Idaho to Nevada.

It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. , I am finding my feet get hotter and wetter and sorer. It's bound to get worse during the extreme heat of summer.

Corey Galston Las Vegas, NV Your feet will actually expand and get larger as you age. They often expand or swell even more while running in a warm environment. First, check the fit of your shoes--with the warm weather they may now be too small for your foot. Find a good running shoe store to have your feet properly measured and fitted. Second, use an acrylic-based sock material (such as Cool Max, Drifit, etc.) that actually wicks away moisture and helps keep your feet dry. The socks you wear greatly affect the temperature regulation of your feet. Pure cotton socks retain moisture and should NOT be worn when running. Also, alternate running shoes every day to allow your shoes to dry fully. If you pack wet running shoes with dry newspaper it will absorb moisture rapidly. You may even want to consider changing your running shoes and socks after an hour of running. Running early in the morning, when the temperatures are cooler and the sun is low, always helps. If none of these tips keeps you dry enough, follow up with a sports-oriented physician who can prescribe pre·scribe v.
