Zwaagdijk is a long ribbon village north east of Hoorn, in the municipality of Medemblik. Relatively many residents work in agriculture or technical trades.
Outdoor work means boots and safety shoes, and those are made to protect rather than to spread pressure. A hard sole passes on every step, resulting in callus and cracked heels.
Patty visits Zwaagdijk at home. Bring your work shoes; the wear usually shows immediately where the pressure lies.
Work footwear protects but cushions poorly. Anyone standing in it for long days builds callus on the heel and the ball of the foot and gets cracks sooner. Bring your work shoes to the appointment; the wear usually shows exactly where the pressure lies.
In season often every four to six weeks instead of six to eight.
First have the hard callused rim removed, then moisturise every evening with a urea cream.
