How do you know if your shoes fit correctly? Here are some tips to help ensure shoes fit correctly.
- Are you in pain? Pain is the most obvious signal your shoes are ill-fitting – does taking your shoes off give you relief? This is your biggest clue!
- Is there enough space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe? Look for around 1.5 centimetres of space ideally. Remember, your big toe may not always be your longest toe.
- Have you looked at the widest part of the shoe? This should match where the ball of your foot sits, that is, the widest part just before your toes.
- Ideally have your feet measured before buying shoes – preferably at the end of the day, as this is when your feet are at their largest.

Shin Splints & your Feet
Like most overuse injuries, shin pain may develop gradually over a period of time. Often the early signs are ignored and those experiencing the symptoms continue the activities causing their problem. Early assessment and treatment of shin pain can make a significant difference and can prevent this problem before it becomes severe.
Risk Factors for Shin Splints
- Abnormal biomechanics – overpronation, tibial misalignment.
- Training methods – inappropriate increases in the intensity, duration or frequency of exercise.
- Training surfaces – running on hard surfaces or uneven ground.
- Footwear – wearing inappropriate footwear for the activity or worn out shoes.
- Poor flexibility, imbalance or inadequate strength – affecting muscles of the lower limb.

How do you pick the right school shoes for your child?
Specifically, the toe of the shoe should all your child’s toes to move freely and not be squashed from the top or the sides. Make sure there is 1-1.5 cm growing room between the end of their longest toe and the top end of their shoe. Also bear in mind that shoes should comfortably around the heel, and not be too loose or too tight.
A podiatrist can help your child if they complain of recurrent pain in their feet or legs, especially as activities increase at school; or if your child is constantly tripping or falling. You should also consider the help of a podiatrist if you notice your child walks on their tip toes, or their walk does not look symmetrical (the same on both feet and legs); or if your have any other general concerns about your child’s foot health.

What happens to feet as they age?
As you age, you can lose cushioning and soft tissue fat in the pads of your heels and balls of the feet, near your toes. Like the skin on your face, there is also a loss of elasticity in the skin on your feet, making it thin and vulnerable.
Bone deformities: such as bunions or arthritis and difficulties undertaking basic foot care, can lead to foot health issues and sometimes an increased risk of falls, which can have drastic consequences.
Nails also become more brittle, thicker and harder, making them difficult to trim and prone to ingrown toenails, fungal breakouts and other infections.
At Core Motiv, you can be confident that our expertise in a variety of manual therapies, evidence-based medical techniques and clinical skills, will get you back on your feet, and back to the way you want to live your life.

Pregnancy & Foot Pain
Weight gain experienced during pregnancy places an enormous amount of unexpected pressure on the feet. It is common for pregnant women to suffer from foot pain, oedema, leg cramps and varicose veins, in addition to weight gain, stretched ligaments in the feet and flat feet can cause irreparable damage.
Due to the natural weight gain during pregnancy, a woman’s centre of gravity is completely altered. This causes a new weight-bearing stance and added pressure to the knees and feet. Hormones can relax the ligaments in the feet, leading to flat feet and over-pronation. A podiatrist may be able to relieve these symptoms through proper foot care and advice during pregnancy.
Podiatrists are key healthcare professionals in treating pregnancy related foot problems. Early intervention is the most important part in you achieve the best and fastest results possible.

Morton’s Neuroma (Intermetatarsal Neuroma), is the thickening of the lining surrounding a nerve in the foot, it most commonly occurs between the third and fourth toes. The symptoms begin gradually at first, occurring occasionally when wearing shoes with a narrow toe-box or certain aggravating activities. Over time, symptoms progressively worsen. Without appropriate intervention from your podiatrist the neuroma will enlarge and these temporary symptoms in the nerve become permanent.
