There may even be a brief, awkward moment in which you pause and think quietly to yourself of an excuse to quickly depart and abort the mission. But what if you don’t have to anymore? What if you can travel to and visit a friend’s home or apartment and not have to worry about being self-conscious about your foot troubles if they have carpeting or hardwood floors they wish to protect? The podiatrists at Cherrywood Foot Care have thirty years experience in making it possible for patients to be able to kick off their shoes without having to worry about that itchy, flaky skin, or bad odor that may emerge from their beneath their socks and expose others to the disease they are secretly battling.
