𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 = 𝐒𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧, 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐭?
When temperatures rise, your feet can cop it first. Heat causes blood vessels to expand, allowing fluid to pool in your feet and ankles — a common condition called heat oedema.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞:
* Puffiness or swelling
* Tight, achy or heavy-feeling feet
* Blisters, irritation or sweaty skin
* Burning or tingling sensations

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩?
✔ Elevate your feet when you can
✔ Stay hydrated
✔ Keep moving to boost circulation
✔ Cool your feet down
✔ Wear breathable, supportive footwear

If swelling is painful, one-sided, or doesn’t settle once you cool down, it’s time to get it checked.

The team at Gait Way Podiatry is here to keep you moving comfortably - no matter the temperature.

Here at Gaitway, we recommend and stock a great range of kids' shoes. Whether you're after durable black leather lace-up formal shoes for everyday wear or supportive cross trainers for sports, we have the perfect fit for every student!
As a podiatrist, one of the most important back-to-school checks I recommend is proper footwear. Growing feet need the right support to stay healthy, comfortable and injury-free throughout the school year.
✔️ Shoes should fit well with room for growing toes
✔️ Look for good arch support and a firm heel counter
✔️ Flexible at the front, supportive through the midfoot
✔️ Avoid hand-me-downs — every child’s feet are different
Ill-fitting or worn-out shoes can contribute to foot pain, poor posture and fatigue, which can affect your child’s confidence and concentration at school.

If you’re unsure whether your child’s school shoes are doing their job, a podiatry check can help keep little feet on the right track.

Hot weather + sweat + closed shoes = the perfect environment for fungal flare-ups.
If you’re noticing:
✨ Itchy or peeling skin
✨ A funky smell that won’t quit
✨ White, soggy skin between the toes
✨ Thick or discoloured toenails
…it might be a summer fungal issue.

🩴 Let your feet breathe (hello, sandals!)
🧼 Wash and dry between your toes
🧦 Switch to moisture-wicking socks
👟 Rotate shoes so they dry out properly
💅 Treat early—fungal infections love to spread
Healthy feet = happy summer! 🌊🌞
