“My nails haven’t grown much this time…”

If we had a pound for every time we hear this in winter, we’d be very busy indeed 😉

Slower nail growth during the colder months is completely normal. Reduced circulation, heavier footwear and lower activity levels all play a part.

However, winter is actually when routine foot care becomes even more important. Nails can still thicken, hard skin can build up, and problems often start quietly when feet are tucked away in socks and boots.

We’ve written a short blog explaining why toenails grow more slowly in winter and why staying on top of routine appointments really matters:

If you’re due your regular foot care appointment, now is a great time to keep things comfortable and prevent issues later on.

Ever wondered why bunions happen?
Hint: it’s not just your shoes… it’s evolution! 👣🧬

I’ve written a brand-new blog diving into the fascinating (and slightly hilarious) story of why humans ended up with feet that are brilliant for walking — but also prone to bunions.

If your big toe seems determined to wander off course, this one’s for you.

If your bunion is causing discomfort, or you’d like some personalised advice, we’re always here to help at the clinic.

📣 Exciting News at the Clinic!

We’ve introduced a brand-new AI receptionist to help answer calls, book appointments and provide information — even when we’re busy treating feet!

It’s very new and still a work in progress, so please bear with us while we tweak and improve things.

If you chat with her, we’d love your honest feedback. This is a trial for now, but we’re hoping it will make things smoother for everyone.

Thank you for supporting us as we grow — and don’t worry, she won’t be cutting your toenails anytime soon! 😉

❄️ My toes are only just recovering from this week’s tobogganing adventure…

I went to Chatham Snowsports Centre (no snow, but absolutely freezing), and it reminded me of something I see every winter in the clinic…

Chilblains.
Those red, itchy, swollen, “why-do-my-toes-hate-me” patches that show up as soon as the weather turns chilly!

If you’ve ever wondered why they happen, how to stop them, or what to do if they appear, I’ve put together a funny but super informative blog post all about it 👇

👉 Read it here: https://favershamfeet.co.uk/chilblains-in-cold-weather

Stay warm, keep those toes cosy, and if yours ever start misbehaving, you know where I am! 🧦💙

🍒 CHERRIES AND GOUT — WHO KNEW?!

We’ve lost count of how many patients over the years have said,

“You know what really helped my gout? Cherries!”

And you know what? They might just be right!

At our recent CPD (Continuing Professional Development) day, even a renowned podiatrist confirmed what so many of you have told us — that cherry extract can genuinely help reduce inflammation and ease gout flare-ups.

It turns out uric acid isn’t all bad either — in balanced amounts, it actually helps your body fight inflammation. The trouble starts when levels rise too high and those pesky crystals form in the joints (usually the big toe!).

We’ve written a new blog post all about it — what causes gout, why uric acid matters, and how cherries might help you stay one step ahead of a flare-up.

👉 Read it here: https://favershamfeet.co.uk/what-causes-gout-and-how-cherry-extract-helps

If you’ve ever had gout, or know someone who has, this one’s worth a read — and maybe worth a handful of cherries too. 🍒😉
