Feet Check-Up After 75,000 Miles

Podiatrists advise that you take your feet in for a check-up once you hit 75,000 miles. An easy way to estimate the number of miles you have walked is to multiply your age by 4.3 and by 365 days.

  • AGE  x  4.3  x  365 Days

That total will equal the number of miles you've walked to that point. At your 75,000 mile check-up several things should be examined:

  • The fat pad at the bottom of the foot
  • Check for bunions
  • Check for arthritis
  • Check nail conditions
