With time, feet get further away
Ok not really.
It does seem to be true though, whether you don't bend quite as well any more, or all of sudden there is a tummy that you have to detour over. Perhaps going down is easy and coming back is up is the questionable part?
One thing I'm sure of is that toenails don't care what else is going on they keep on growing anyway. Save your self holes in your socks and consider some help from a podiatrist
Calling for help when you can't do some things keeps you doing other things longer.
Foot care for everyone
Podiatry often gets forgotten about when you've got a lot on. Unlike that sick pink and green highlight you are thinking about getting in your hair, neatly trimmed toenails and pain free feet aren't gonna get those "Wow" comments from your admirers.
That's because comfy feet give the most benefit to the most important person...
That's you, btw. In case you didn't get where I was going with that.
