👟 5 Signs Your Child Needs New Shoes
Kids’ feet grow rapidly, and worn or too-small shoes can affect comfort, development, and confidence. Here’s what to look out for:
1️⃣ Toes touching the front — no growing room left.
2️⃣ Red marks, rubbing, or blisters after wearing shoes.
3️⃣ Bulging sides — the shoe is no longer matching their foot shape.
4️⃣ Worn-out or uneven soles — a sign the shoe has lost its support.
5️⃣ Complaints of foot or leg pain — never something to ignore.
Checking their shoes regularly keeps little feet happy, supported, and ready for every adventure! 👣✨

👣 Say goodbye to painful ingrown nails — without surgery!
We use Onyfix, a revolutionary nail correction system that gently guides ingrown or involuted toenails back to their natural shape. No pain, no scalpels, just results!
How it works:
✨ A hardened composite brace is applied to your nail and cured with LED light.
✨ It grows with your nail over 2–3 months, reshaping it from the base to the tip.
✨ Additional bands can be added during follow-ups to ensure the best result.
Most patients need 3–4 bands spaced 6 weeks apart. Once complete, the brace is removed, and your nail continues to grow naturally — beautifully aligned and pain-free!

Little feet grow fast — and the right shoes make a big difference in their comfort, development, and confidence as they play, learn, and explore. Here’s a quick guide to finding the best fit:

✅ Do:
Leave about a thumb-width of space between their longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Make sure the widest part of their foot matches the widest part of the shoe.
Choose secure fastenings (laces or Velcro) so their heel stays supported.
Pick shoes with a firm, stable back for proper support.

Bonus Tip: Check shoe size later in the day when feet are naturally a bit more swollen. Always fit shoes while they’re standing!

❌ Don’t:
Choose shoes with overly flexible, twisty soles.
Choose shoes with chunky, hard soles.
Opt for shoes without proper heel support or structure.
Go for shoes with raised heels — flat shoes are better for posture and growing feet.

Give your child’s feet the support they need for every adventure! 🌟👣

Tight, narrow shoes might look fine on the outside, but inside they can squeeze your toes together, limit movement, and change the way your foot functions. Over time, this can lead to:
• Bunions
• Hammertoes
• Neuromas
• Ingrown nails
• Balance issues
• Sore, tired feet
Your toes need space to spread, grip, and stabilise you. A wider toe box allows natural toe splay — improving comfort, strength, alignment, and overall foot health.
✨ Give your toes room to breathe. Your feet will thank you!

🦶 Orthotic Myths — Let’s Set the Record Straight!
MYTH 1: “Orthotics are a lifelong commitment.”
Most people only need them short-term while the area heals and strengthens.
MYTH 2: “Orthotics make your feet weaker.”
Research shows they don’t weaken foot muscles. They simply help manage load and reduce pain.
MYTH 3: “You can only wear orthotics in one type of shoe.”
Not true! Supportive shoes help, but there are plenty of styles that work with orthotics.
MYTH 4: “Orthotics fix pronation because pronation is bad.”
Pronation is normal. Orthotics help when tissues are overloaded — not because pronation is a problem.
✨Orthotics aren’t a forever fix or an answer for every issue — they’re a helpful part of a personalised treatment plan.

It’s not because you’re unmotivated.
It’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s usually because you don’t have clarity.
Every January, we set big health goals like “I’ll get fitter,” “I’ll lose weight,” or “I’ll take better care of myself.” But after a few weeks, the excitement fades and old habits creep back in.
At our podiatry clinic, we see this every year — people wanting to move better, feel better, and improve their health, but not knowing where to start.
Here’s how to gain clarity and set yourself up for success:
1. Keep it simple.
You don’t need a long list of goals. Choose one meaningful health goal — something that will truly improve your daily life, whether that’s walking without pain, improving mobility, or building healthier habits.
2. Be honest about what’s holding you back.
Is foot pain stopping you from being active? Is a habit or mindset keeping you stuck? Write it down. Then choose one small action you can take today to move forward — even booking a check-up counts.
3. Know your ‘why.’
Your goals need meaning.
Ask yourself: Why does this matter to me? How will my life improve when I can move comfortably again? Visualising your ‘why’ helps you stay consistent.
Small, clear steps lead to big changes — in your health, your movement, and your confidence.
If foot pain or mobility is holding you back from your goals this year, we’re here to help you start strong. 👣
