Wellbeing uncovers some of the latest footwear trends to nurture your feet!

A new poll of 2,000 people from The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists found almost 4 in 10 women knowingly buy shoes that don’t fit them. The survey reveals that 37% of women wear uncomfortable shoes as long as they’re fashionable and 17% of men admit buying the wrong size. Perhaps not surprisingly, a massive 80% of the women surveyed reveal that they have suffered foot problems like corns and in-growing toe nails.

• More than a third (35 per cent) of women are hanging onto old make-up in a bid to save money
• One in five women have caught the men in their life using their eye make-up
