Why foot cream is essential
Our feet support our weight, endure intense friction (shoes, soles, walking, sports), temperature variations, humidity, microtrauma — all of which can lead to dryness, calluses, cracks, irritation, blisters or dry skin. A good foot cream helps to moisturise, nourish and protect the skin, preserve its suppleness, prevent cracks or calluses, and keep feet healthy — while improving comfort, whether for everyday use, hiking, trail running, or after an intensive session.
Foot hygiene and care are essential to avoid more serious problems: cracked skin, fissures, sensitive areas, risk of infection or irritation, especially if you engage in intensive or frequent activities.
The benefits of Sidas foot care creams
-
Deep hydration & skin suppleness — Specialised creams combine nourishing agents (butters, oils, glycerine, lipid-replenishing agents, etc.) to restore hydration, soften rough areas (heels, arches, metatarsals) and prevent cracks or fissures.
-
Protection against rubbing, repeated friction and blisters — Applied preventively (before going out, hiking, playing sport) or after exercise, the cream forms a protective film that limits irritation, reduces friction between the skin and socks/soles, and prevents the appearance of blisters or irritation due to rubbing.
- Repair and comfort after exercise— For tired, exposed, sore feet—after running, hiking, skiing, walking, sports—the cream helps restore the epidermis, reduce feelings of tightness or pain, soothe and restore comfort.
- Prevention of calluses, corns and cracks — By keeping the skin supple and well hydrated, the cream limits the formation of thick skin, calluses and corns, providing long-term protection for the structures of the foot.
-
Hygiene, skin protection & prevention of irritation/infection — Well-hydrated and protected skin is less prone to chapping and cracks, which can become entry points for fungi or infections. Regular use of a cream, combined with good hygiene, improves overall foot health.
Who is this collection of creams for?
- Regular sports enthusiasts, hikers, trail runners, skiers and long-distance walkers — whose feet are frequently subjected to stress (friction, pressure, moisture, rigid soles).
- Those who wear closed shoes, boots, technical or rigid footwear — their skin needs protection to prevent dryness, calluses and irritation.
- Anyone with sensitive feet, prone to dryness, calluses, tired feet or irritation — regular care preserves comfort and health.
- Those who want to extend the life of their feet and shoes — supple skin + well-cared-for feet = greater comfort, less pain, better sensation.
Expert advice and best practices for use
- Apply to clean, dry feet—ideally after a shower or bath, dry your feet thoroughly before application, not forgetting your heels, soles, tops and the spaces between your toes.
-
Use regularly as needed—using 2–3 times a week (or even more) keeps the skin supple and prepares the feet.
-
Massage gently to stimulate circulation—applying with massage improves circulation, relaxes the feet and promotes better absorption of the active ingredients.
- Match cream + suitable insoles/socks/shoes—skin care works best when the foot and shoe combination is comfortable: suitable insoles, technical socks, well-fitting shoes.
- Monitor the condition of the skin — in case of deep cracks, persistent irritation, or extreme dryness, consider more specific treatments or consult a professional (podiatrist) to avoid complications.
