As we wear masks to protect our faces from germs, CDC recommends to protect your feet, too.

It’s become a way of life to wear a mask to protect our face from germs in high risk areas or hospitals. Now it’s time to protect our feet, too. The CDC recommends wearing shoeswhen possible, in public showers, locker rooms, camp sites, dorms, college bathrooms or any public place where germs lurk.  

I will not go into a public shower or pool without protection on my feet and if you’ve ever had a plantar wart, you won’t either.  The features I love about these stylish footwear is that they are antimicrobial, have a really strong non slip bottom and that they have the water draining holes that allow the flops to dry quickly.

 

Showaflops (pronounced “Showa’flops” with a New York accent) offers a variety of sandals with unique drainage holes to help allow air and water to pass through to aerate the soles and prevent water build-up. This in turn may help protect feet against mold, fungus and bacteria on floors. 

 

The idea of Showaflops came to Evelyn Bernfeld while touring college dorms with her daughter and noticing the conditions of the common areas.

 

“As a long-time germaphobe, I was forward thinking in addressing the issues one faces in public showers or walking in public places,” said Bernfeld, Showaflops CEO and CMO. “With people starting to travel again in public hotel showers, summer camps re-opening, and the re-opening of gyms, we hope protective footwear becomes just as important as protective face coverings.”

 

Other Showaflops features include:

- Slip resistant soles for even the most slippery surfaces. 

- Antimicrobials to help prevent the spread of fungus and bacteria from floors onto your feet or gym bag.

- Quick drying capabilities contributed to its unique drainage features.

 

Showaflops prides itself on its great assortment of styles and latest fashion trends. What started as a niche showa' shoe has become a high quality, comfort-oriented staple for lifestyle footwear that can be worn all day. Showaflops, which is available in over 50 options, caters to women, men, boys and girls.

Travelers can’t control flight delays and cancellations, inedible meals, or unruly passengers on board. But they CAN control the cleanliness of their seat, thanks to the Travel Essentials Bundle from PlaneAire.

Here is a brand that I have promoted on a few occasions over the years and I think they are a smart must have for airplane, train, hotel etc. I love the scents and the bundles are a great buy.

1. PlaneAire® Clean Surface & Air Mist – Start by spraying this on-the-go surface cleaner and air mist directly on your seat, armrests, headrest, seatbelt buckle, tray table, and overhead vents to sanitize.

Comes in a TSA-compliant 2 0z. bottle perfect for your carry-on bag.
