- Beaches
- Saunas
- Changing rooms

Custom insoles can help distribute pressure and loading across the entire foot, reduce ankle rotation and keep you aligned from the ground up. If you haven't yet got your custom insoles, here are some tips for improving your posture without them:

- Try to primarily load your weight on the balls of your feet.
- Try to ensure your feet are shoulder-width apart.
- Stand up straight with your shoulders pulled backwards.
- Let your arms hang naturally to the side of the body.

As always, if you're suffering with foot pain, we strongly advise you make an appointment to come and see us where professional diagnosis and treatment can be carried out 📞 01241 439867

Why might you be getting reoccurring ingrown toenail problems?

Wearing the wrong shoes is one of the most common causes of ingrown toenails, with more than half the population picking the wrong shoe sizes for their feet!

Shoes that are too tight tend to pinch and compress your toes, interfering with the forward growth of your nails and allowing them to grow down into the surrounding skin. You have highly likely purchased the wrong length/width or simply the wrong style for your feet 👟

Before throwing your kids old trainers in the bin, check for uneven wear patterns on the soles. You should see wear relatively evenly across the heels and balls of the feet. However, if you notice excessive wear concentrated along the inside or outside edge of the shoe, it may indicate a structural issue or gait abnormality.

Fungal nail infections are best known for affecting your toenails, although you can also get them on your fingernails. Fungi are also known as Oermatophytes and generally live harmlessly but can often multiply and lead to infection in admired places. Fungi adore dark, warm and moist environments such as your feet which can quickly become heated and sweaty in the wrong pair of shoes or from a lack of care to your feet!

Super active kids? If the situation calls, buy them a second pair of sports shoes!

This is especially important if your child will be playing sport multiple days in a row and will be using their shoes a large percentage of the year. This way, you can rotate between footwear, allowing their lifespan to be preserved and allowing them to dry out before the next use.

To help avoid ingrown toenails, you should aim to cut your nails about even with the tip of the toe, making sure they are cut in a relatively straight line from corner to corner ✂️ Furthermore, it is beneficial to use a devout toenail clipper with longer, wider arms in order to achieve a cleaner cut. Finally, toenails should be trimmed whilst dry to reduce the risk of tearing.
