Your body's playing favourites! It sends warm blood to your vital organs first, leaving your feet last in line. Plus:

Sitting too long = less blood flow
Tight shoes = restricted circulation
Cold weather = your body's survival mode kicks in

Quick fixes: Move around, wear warm socks, massage those toes!
If they're ALWAYS cold, might be worth a 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁.

Yesterday I ticked off my 7th World Marathon Major! Sydney put on a great show - first Southern Hemisphere WMM with perfect weather and crowds turned up to cheer on 35,000 runners.

Training was going brilliantly until 3 weeks out when my ankle decided to throw a tantrum with tendon inflammation. Had to dial everything right back. Luckily I have connections 😂 with Kara sorting me out and got me back to 95% 🙏

For this reason, I wasn't feeling bulletproof on the start line, so I took it cruisy, smiled and just focused on not stuffing up my foot. Job done - crossed the line grinning! 😊

When I tackled the Salkantay trek to Machu Pichu not long ago, I never imagined it'd get others fired up to have a crack themselves.

That's exactly what happened with David and his missus. He spotted my photos and thought "why not?" - already heading that way, so decided to tack the trek onto their trip. Today he shared his snaps and this ripper message...

“Thanks to Kim and the team at the Footcare Clinic for always keeping my feet going despite the punishment I keep giving them either running or hiking"

Nothing beats seeing our clients chase their dreams - one step at a time! 🏔️

Those safety boots are doing their job protecting you, but at 2.6kg they're also doing a number on your feet. Throw in concrete floors and 10-hour shifts, and no wonder you're limping home.

Sore heels? Aching arches? That burning feeling by knock-off time? It's not just "part of the job."

Come in and we'll take a look – at your boots and your feet. There are things we can do. 🥾

Heavy steel capped safety boots are often inadequate footwear for long term use and can affect the well-being of the feet. Podiatrist Ashwini suggests a sol...
