Patients often ask me what shoes are best for their feet. With so many brands and styles on the market it’s a daunting task to pick the right pair, especially when they’re not cheap to buy.

The answer is all in the fit. Here’s my tips to get the most from your shoe choices;

1. Get measured and fitted properly to know your size and width.
2. Try shoes on at the end of the day to allow for fluctuations in fluid retention in your feet, allowing a thumbs width from the end of your toe to the end of the shoe in length.
3. Choose the right shoe for the activity. For day to day around the home, I like a shoe that is lightweight, has a non slip sole and is supportive. Running or cross training shoes are a great choice and come in a variety of widths to fit most foot types well.

Today, I’m road-testing the new Brooks Glycerin GTS with ”Elevate” Lightfeet socks.

The socks are Australian made and owned, moisture wicking to keep your feet dry for longer. More on socks another day but if you’re in the market for new shoes or need advice on footwear fitting, book an appointment online today at www.feetretreatpodiatry.com.au

Thongs. A staple of the summer wardrobe, but how do you pick a good pair?

For any slip on shoe being worn for long periods or distances, we recommend looking for a high quality & slip resistant sole. Styles that hug the foot with some arch support and a sturdy upper top strap to hold the shoe to your foot, helps to reduce friction and improve comfort.

Always pick the right shoe for the occasion and avoid long hikes in thongs, even if they are well fitted!

You may have noticed that our online bookings are limited at the moment. We want to assure you that this doesn’t mean we aren’t answering phones and emails - of course we are!

We are triaging clients according to foot-care need during this lockdown period to minimise unnecessary risk of contracting the delta covid variant. As we’ve seen in the past couple of days, many health centres, shops and services have been exposed by those affected unknowingly and infectious in our community.

In keeping with guidelines, there will be more stringent criteria to be seen face-to-face during this lockdown period. This is the only way to keep our clients, ourselves and our staff safe.

If you have a foot-care question, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email. We will assess your need and appoint you accordingly.

Keep safe, we are here if you need us.
