A Proper Shoe Fit = Happy Feet! 👟👍🏼

If your shoes are the wrong fit for you, then they are more likely to cause discomfort, blisters, and long-term foot issues.

Keep your feet healthy with these tips:

👣 Ensure you have ample wiggle room for your toes
⭐ Look for arch support
😊 Check that the heel fit is comfortable
🧦 Try the shoes on with the socks you'll wear
🚶🏼‍♂️ Walk around in them before buying
🗑️ Replace worn-out shoes regularly

⚠️ DO NOT rely on "breaking them in"

🐾 It's Walk Your Dog Month! 🐾

Daily dog walks are fantastic for your dog's physical and mental health, but they're also a great reminder to look after your own feet. 👣

As a podiatrist, I often see people who have increased their walking and then start to notice foot pain, hard skin appearing, or nail problems. These small issues can quickly become uncomfortable if ignored.

Before heading out on your next dog walk, take a moment to check:

✔️ Any new aches or pains
✔️ Changes to skin or nails
✔️ Whether your shoes are still supportive and comfortable

Your feet do a lot of work everyday, and just like our dogs, they deserve a bit of care and attention.

If something doesn't feel right, don't ignore it. Early checks can prevent bigger problems later.

Happy walking!
Gillian & Hugo (the Boss) 🐶👣

If you’re dealing with heel pain from Plantar Fasciitis, stretching isn’t just “nice to do” — it’s treatment.

🦶 Focus on:
Calf stretches
Achilles stretches
Plantar fascia–specific stretches

⚠️ Stretching should be gentle and consistent, not aggressive.

If heel pain lasts more than a few weeks, stretching alone may not be enough — get it assessed early to prevent a chronic issue.

Save this, stretch daily, and your feet will thank you.

Here are podiatrist-approved tips for healthy cycling feet:

👟 Choose the right shoes: Make sure your cycling shoes fit snugly but not tight; toes should have room to move.
🦶 Check your cleat position: Incorrect alignment can lead to pain in your arches, toes, or knees.
🧦 Keep your feet dry and blister-free on long rides.
💧 Stretch & strengthen: Regular calf and foot stretches improve circulation and reduce cramping.
🚴 Numb toes or tingling? It’s not normal.

Why not get your foot health checked by our team before you head off on your bike?
