Back-to-school means it’s time to think about indoor and outdoor shoes for your kids! Both play an important role in keeping growing feet healthy and supported.

👟 Outdoor Shoes – Key Points

✔️ Durable soles to handle pavement, playgrounds, and weather
✔️ Good support & cushioning for running and jumping
✔️ Weather-ready materials (think waterproof for rainy days or insulated for winter)
✔️ Proper fit to avoid blisters or strain

🥿 Indoor Shoes – Key Points

✔️ Lightweight & breathable so feet stay comfortable all day
✔️ Non-marking soles to protect school floors
✔️ Easy to slip on/off (Velcro or slip-on styles save time)
✔️ Supportive fit to prevent foot fatigue during class

Having a pair for both settings means less wear and tear, better hygiene, and most importantly—healthier feet for your child.

Blisters may be small, but they can cause big discomfort. They’re often the result of friction from shoes, socks, or repetitive activity. While most heal on their own, it’s important not to pop them—this increases the risk of infection.

If blisters are frequent, painful, or affecting how you walk, it’s time to have your feet checked. At Footprint Health & Wellness Centre, we’ll assess the cause and recommend the best care to keep you moving comfortably.

Protect your feet today—book your appointment and step pain-free tomorrow.

Not All Socks Are Created Equal

It’s not just about the style of sock you choose, it's the material that matters too. Here’s what to consider when picking the right pair for your feet:

✨ High Socks
✔ Warmth & coverage
✔ Great with boots
⚠️ Can feel bulky in some shoes.

✨ Crew Socks (mid-calf)
✔ Everyday go-to
✔ Balance of coverage & breathability
⚠️ Cotton versions may trap sweat.

✨ Ankle Socks
✔ Lightweight & versatile
✔ Perfect with sneakers
⚠️ Less protection from rubbing or blisters.

✨ No-Show Socks
✔ Invisible look
✔ Light and breathable
⚠️ Slip off easily, often less cushioning.

✨ Compression Socks
✔ Improve circulation
✔ Reduce swelling & fatigue
✔ Ideal for long days on your feet or travel ✈️
⚠️ Everyday socks can’t match the medical benefits they provide.

🌱 Sock Materials Matter Too:

Cotton – Soft and breathable, but holds onto sweat.
Wool – Warm, moisture-wicking, and great for colder months.
Silk – Smooth and lightweight, often used in dress socks.
Synthetic blends – Wick away moisture, offer stretch, and keep their shape.

The takeaway: style, length, and material all play a role. We LOVE compression socks and they are designed with your health in mind. Come in Today to try on a pair!

Walking on the beach feels amazing, right? The warm sand, the waves rolling in, the sun on your face. With the last couple weeks of summer vacation around the corner (shhhh School is coming!)

Did you know walking on the beach can actually be good for your feet too?

The sand works like a natural exfoliator, gently smoothing out rough spots.

Walking on uneven ground wakes up muscles you don’t usually use and gets blood flowing.

Plus, that sunshine gives you a healthy boost of vitamin D.

Of course, it’s not all perfect. Hidden shells or rocks can cause cuts, and the soft sand can be tough on arches or heels if you’re prone to foot pain. And don’t forget to dry your feet well afterward to avoid any pesky fungal issues.

So who is heading to the beach this week?

What are you feeding your feet?

Just like the rest of your body, your feet need the right “fuel” to stay strong, healthy, and pain-free. Foods rich in calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3s help keep bones strong and joints moving, while staying hydrated keeps your skin and nails healthy.

When you give your feet the right nutrients, they’ll carry you further, with more comfort and less strain!

Happy Monday!
