Additional notes:
If you want beautiful feet.... you can not go anywhere and hang up your feet all day. OR you can still dive 3 x/day x 1 week every few months, go hiking, horseriding, surfing, bla bla bla, and still.... have beautiful feet:

Dr's nail/foot care -->
apply Diabetic foot care regime to yourself even if you do not have diabetes. Remove callouses with gentle scraping under direct visual supervision 1x / week, if your nails appear yellow or thicker than your toe then you need to use Miconazole/ Ketoconazole cream [yes cream not lotion because nails can absorb creams and it helps to keep it moisturized and healthy]... even if I do not have fungus, I still use Miconazole cream because 15g at Guardian $4, vs Sally Hansen Nail Quencher Hydrating nail creme $22 --> same moisturizing + additional antifungal effect. And after massaging your toenails, web, sole, use a body lotion to massage the rest of your feet, put on socks and go to sleep. Everyday. :) 

Additional additional notes:
From the Orthopod wanna-be in my life: Do NOT believe the salesperson when he says the shoes will grow to your feet's size after a few times. You will only grow hallux valgus sooner or later. And [if you knew this good for you, for those of us like me had to learn the hard way] wear in your new shoes at least once at home before going out at all. Just prance around your home with brand new shoes isnt that nice? That way you avoid blisters at all, because when your feet hurts, you take the shoes off and walk barefoot. Repeat.
