Two feet doctors have revealed the five things you should never do - including foot peels and wearing shoes without socks. Mum and daughter Louise Reaney, 57, and Emily Sharp, 30, run a podiatry clinic, and spend all day tending to feet. They are no strangers to bad foot habits thanks to their line of work, and have dished out advice to countless clients. The pair from Sheffield revealed you should never wear shoes without any socks, or wear flat ballet pumps. They also said they would never use a foot peeling mask, let someone remove the cuticle during a pedicure and wouldn’t take a blade to their own feet. In a video - which has surpassed 800,000 views - Louise says not wearing socks with your shoes is like "wearing the same pair of socks day after day without washing them". Louise added: "Our feet are designed to sweat a lot. "They have millions of sweat glands and the skin on your feet needs sweat to lubricate it to allow the skin to work. "A sock on helps you soak up more sweat. Without socks it can create a soggy environment for your feet, which leaves you open to fungal infections." Emily said she would never wear flat ballet style shoes if out walking. "There’s nothing for your feet to hold on to when wearing ballet style flats," she said. "You need shoes on that your feet don’t need to claw on to. "They’re so narrow and there's no space for your toes to get contact with the ground, and people wear them without socks as well!" A podiatrist of over 25 years, mum Louise recommends people never use foot peeling masks - not to be confused with regular foot moisturising masks.
