Are there any foot conditions that are more common in seniors?

Asked 4 years ago

Hi, I have always taken great care of my feet, but as I age I want to make sure I'm taking the necessary steps to maintain my foot health. Are there any specific foot conditions that I should be looking out for? I want to be proactive and take care of my feet so that I can continue to stay active as I age. Any advice would be great.
