Many foot injuries and ailments can be avoided by ensuring one thing – that your feet stay dry. Depending on your mission and the weather, this may be next to impossible but it should not keep you from trying – dry most of the time is better than always wet. At the end of each day, you should follow these easy to do steps: wash and dry your feet, apply foot powder to prevent friction and replace socks with a clean dry pair. Letting your boots air out and dry is nice if possible, but is of course mission dependent. Taking care of your feet is more than simply a matter of comfort – it is mission critical.

- Keep your feet clean. Wash your feet daily with soap and water, and dry carefully between the toes to prevent athlete's foot — a fungus — from forming and spreading. Use an anti-fungal cream on the soles of your feet and on your toenails twice a week. Always wear shower shoes in the shower to prevent foot fungus.
- Keep your feet as dry as possible. Change your socks at least once a day, air-dry your feet during breaks and apply foot powder, cornstarch, or antiperspirant to your feet when you get the chance.
- Cut your toenails short and straight. This will help keep your feet clean and make your boots more comfortable.

But if you must keep your nails long, make sure to regularly clean them by simply brushing the underside of the toes while you’re bathing. Having dirty toenails aren’t just unsightly – the bacteria in the dirt make your feet stink too.

- Washing - Feet must be washed at least once a day. If this is not done, then the dead cells (which the body constantly sheds) will build up and will become food for all the nasty bacteria. Smelly feet will then be the least of your worries and you will be fighting athlete’s foot as well as the enemy.
- Drying - After washing you must dry properly, particularly between your toes. This prevents the skin becoming soggy and allowing all those bacteria to penetrate your natural defences, and then inviting in some of their friends.
