🎃 Trick or Treat... Without Hurting Your Feet! 🍭

Halloween is all about costumes and sweets, but don’t let sore feet spoil the fun!

Here are some quick tips to keep your little ghouls and goblins walking comfortably all night long:
1️⃣ Socks First!
Make sure your child wears soft, breathable socks to prevent blisters. 🧦
2️⃣ Stick to Comfortable Shoes!
As tempting as costume shoes are, supportive sneakers are way better for little feet. 👟
3️⃣ No New Shoes Tonight!
Halloween isn’t the time to break in new shoes - stick to pairs they’ve already worn and walked in comfortably. 👣

🦶 Did You Know? 🤔

Having flat feet can sometimes cause aches and pains in your feet, heels, and even knees without you realising why.

Flat feet change how your feet absorb shock and support your body, which can lead to strain over time.

If you’ve been feeling discomfort or tiredness in your feet, it might be worth checking if flat feet could be the cause.

Wearing supportive shoes or using custom orthotics can really help reduce pain and keep you moving comfortably every day! 👟😊

💗 Menopause can change more than you expect - even your feet! 👣

On Saturday the 18th it is World Menopause Day, and we’re shining a light on the lesser-known ways hormonal changes affect foot health.

During menopause, your body may experience:
🔸 Flattening arches
🔸 Increased foot pain
🔸 Joint stiffness or swelling
🔸 Loss of cushioning in the heels
🔸 Cracked, dry skin

These changes are common - but they don’t have to slow you down. With the right foot care, support, and footwear, you can continue moving with ease and confidence.

✨ At our podiatry clinic, we’re here to help women navigate this stage of life with comfort and care - from the ground up. 🦶

✂️ How to Cut Your Toenails the Right Way ✂️

Cutting your toenails properly isn’t just about neatness - it can help prevent painful ingrown nails and keep your feet healthy! Here’s how to do it right:

1️⃣ Cut straight across, and avoid rounding the edges - this helps stop nails from growing into the skin.
2️⃣ Don’t cut too short, leave a little bit of nail beyond the skin to protect your toes.
3️⃣ Use clean, sharp nail clippers - dull tools can cause splits and jagged edges.
4️⃣ File any sharp corners gently - this smooths edges without changing the nail’s shape.
5️⃣ Don’t dig into the corners or sides! It may seem like a good idea, but this can cause ingrown nails.

👣 Taking these simple steps can save you from discomfort and infections!
