They carry you through a lifetime, but are your feet ready for a summer sandal reveal?

Happy feet

L eonardo da Vinci was right: The human foot is an architectural marvel.

It's a triple-arch, loadbearing masterpiece in which a quarter of the body's bones and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments work in concert to carry us through life's crossings.

Yet the seismic force of getting from A to B takes its toll - feet absorb more than twice your body weight just walking and, by the time you're due to blow out 50 candles on your birthday torte, the plump cushioning on your soles has reduced by up to half.

Money matters with Effie

The festive season is fast approaching, and while it's a wonderful time of the year, it can also be very expensive.

Because with some planning, you can enjoy the celebrations without budget worries.
