Definitely don't post this kind of thing usually yet it's important to illustrate the perils of frequently wearing high heels & that it can happen to anyone. Women are still largely not being taught how bad heels are - not just for our feet but for the entire bone structure of the body.

The ladies whose feet look ok probably only wear heels to gala functions but the full time models - 😬👣😬

Please call or email me or have your insurance agent contact me directly if they refuse your claim based on the 'fact' that my handwriting is illegible. I'm fairly certain insurance agents are looking at medical prescriptions written by doctors all day long & dare I say some of them may have less legible writing than mine.

Also, please do no call me demanding my license numbers. Nurses are no longer allowed to divulge this information as our personal numbers have been being used fraudulently by criminals in the past few years. You or your agent can instead call the OIIQ and/or AIISPQ and/or CAFCN and/or AIIDQ to verify a nurse's membership and good standing. This can be accomplished similarly through their respective websites:

Three things you can do to ensure you always have perfectly fitting footwear:

- if trying on the footwear, buy late in the day as feet tend to swell as the day wears on,
- have shoes professionally fitted or measure them from imprints made of your feet by a foot care nurse, podiatrist or orthesiste/prothesiste,
- buy footwear that fits the SMALLER foot and have a cordonnier/shoemaker stretch the other one out for the larger foot (this will prevent the smaller foot rattling around in the shoe/boot which would cause heat and friction leading to calluses and other problems)

In the past month alone I've had 3 patients tell me that they soak their feet every day or almost daily for an hour at a time. Ten to 15 minutes is really all you need, yet at least one person informed me they'd read it in a book and so I started to wonder where the misinformation might be coming from...

A quick internet search was immediately enlightening: the entire first page of my search for foot soaking duration info did not include any medically/scientifically-based websites! The info I received was instead all spa or folk remedy type posts.

Here's one that wasn't so bad yet didn't specifically state not to soak for more than 15 minutes. I'd also add to this not to soak your feet if you already have a confirmed fungal infection and to use a blow dryer (at warm, not hot setting) for 20 seconds after showering to ensure your toes are dry under the toenails.
