Back home after attending the Yorkshire Foot Health Conference.
Had a fantastic time, restocked my shelves with sundries and new tools.
Lovely to catch up with foot friends and meet new foot friends 👣👣 and left the event with tons of advise from the lecturers.
Excellent event all round.

Weekly Foot Tip: Your shoes might be telling you a story 👟👣

Ever looked at the bottom of your favourite shoes and thought “why do they always wear out there”?

That wear pattern can be a clue to where you place most pressure when you walk, which can link to:
✅ hard skin and corns
✅ heel pain
✅ aching arches
✅ knee or lower back discomfort

A simple check you can do today:
1. Put your everyday shoes on a table
2. Look at the soles and heels
3. Ask yourself: is the wear heavier on one side?

If you are getting repeated hard skin, pain, or uneven wear, it might be worth getting your feet and footwear assessed. A Foot Health Practitioner can help you spot pressure points early and make practical changes that keep you comfortable. 👩⚕️👨⚕️

👉 Question for you: where do your shoes wear out first?
🦵 back of the heel
➡️ outside edge
⬅️ inside edge
⚽ under the ball of the foot

Fun Friday Fact: The toughest skin on your body 👣

Did you know the skin on the bottoms of your feet is some of the toughest on your whole body?

A few quick facts.
• The skin on your heels and the balls of your feet is naturally thicker to cope with pressure and shock every time you stand or walk.
• When there is extra friction or pressure, the body responds by building even more hard skin. That is how callus and corns start to form.
• Dryness, open backed shoes, and lots of time on hard floors can all make this tough skin crack and feel sore.
Foot Health Practitioners spend a lot of time carefully reducing hard skin and advising on footwear and creams, so that this protective layer does its job without becoming painful.

👉 Fun question for this Friday:
At home, what do you usually wear on your feet most of the time?
🧦 Socks
🥿 Slippers
👟 Trainers
👣 Barefoot

Sound footcare advise from my training college for this cold weather

❄️ FUN FRIDAY FACT – Snow Edition ❄️

Did you know…

👣 Cold feet can change the way you walk.
When your feet get very cold, the tiny blood vessels tighten. That can make your muscles and joints feel stiffer, so your walking pattern changes and you are more likely to slip or strain something.

🧦 Thick socks are not always enough.
If your footwear is too tight, those lovely thick socks can reduce circulation and make your feet colder, not warmer. You need room to wiggle your toes.

🥶 Numb toes are a warning sign, not a winter “normal”.
Tingling, burning or numb toes in the cold can be a sign that your circulation is struggling. People with diabetes or vascular problems need to be especially careful in icy weather.

✨ Fun takeaway:
Warm, dry, well-fitting footwear + breathable socks = happier feet in the snow.

👉 Question for you:
What is your go to winter tip for keeping feet warm and comfy in cold weather?

❄️💜 Taking Extra Care During the Icy Weather 💜❄️

With icy conditions affecting many parts of the UK over recent days 🧊🌬️, it’s a good time to take things a little slower and keep an extra eye on those around us 💜🏡.

Small, thoughtful actions can help — checking in with family or neighbours 📞, making sure homes are warm and comfortable 🔥🧣, taking care on slippery paths and driveways ❄️👣, and allowing a bit more time when heading out ⏰. These simple moments of care can make a real difference, especially for older or more vulnerable loved ones 🤍.

If you’re feeling unsure or think someone might benefit from a little extra support during this cold spell, our teams are always here and happy to help 💜❄️. Stay warm, take care, and look out for one another.

I was approached by one of the care companies i work closely with in my service area, CareYourWay Norwich, the best care team i have ever come accross.
They asked me to nominate three clients who are not known to them, who I felt deserved a Christmas Hamper. That was not an easy task, but managed to pick these three lovely ladies. 😀 The team dropped them off yesterday 🙌 👏 🥰🌲🧑‍🎄
