Want to keep your feet healthy? Try slipping off your shoes this summer and let your feet feel the grass.

Walking barefoot builds up the small muscles in your feet and helps prevent some of the more common foot problems we experience as we age.

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a podiatrist who shares tips for happy feet, advice on footwear and how to prevent and treat common foot problems, including bunions and plantar fasciitis.

Guest:

  • Dr. Paul Langer is a podiatrist at Twin Cities Orthopedics. He specializes in sports medicine, foot disorders, biomechanics, surgery and foot care in aging. He is also a clinical advisor for the American Running Association, the author of “Great Feet for Life: Footcare and Footwear for Healthy Aging” and part owner of the athletic shoe store Fleet Feet Minneapolis.
