: If your toe is twitching for some luxurious treatment try its Cuccio Spa Manicure & Spa Pedicure. The aromatherapy spa treatment combines a soothing soak, exfoliating natural sea salt, refreshing spa elixir, regenerating deep dermal transforming wrap and hydrating body butter. Feeling the twitch already? “A lot of people are very particular about the hygiene of their feet and at the same time they want to relax. Think about it — if you are partying a lot, your feet need a break. And even if you sit in the office all day long, the blood circulation of the feet gets constricted — so you feel like setting them free.

So, you clearly can’t afford to wear just about anything. “Runner’s shoes generally work well for gyming,” says R S Bawa, owner and fitness expert, Revital gym.

The shoe combines heat and moisture-dissipating materials, ventilation channels and fabrics that allow air to circulate. It is equally imperative to retire your shoes at the right time. “If you feel that the cushioning of the shoes has begun to wear off, change them immediately,” he says. So now you know how best to stand on your own two feet....
