Feet are weird. Some people find them pretty, some people find them freaky, everyone has an opinion (about their own and others'). It's easy to hide troubled feet nine months out of the year: Maybe you let your toe fur grow with abandon or bundle away raggedy yellow nails in thick wool socks. Then the weather turns hot and things get public; meanwhile, feet sweat more, stink worse, and bubble up with the kind of burning blisters that make shoes feel lined with shark's teeth. Whatever your issue—from athlete's foot to pancake-flat arches to bunions the size of Staten Island—this heel-to-toe handbook has the solution: laser-armed-aestheticians, miracle-working "medicurists," reflexologists with hands of steel, and even foot-centric pharmacies for you DIY types.
