Fun Friday Fact: Your feet change size during the day 👣🕒

Did you know your feet are usually slightly bigger at the end of the day than they are first thing in the morning? Mild swelling is common as you stand, walk and sit throughout the day, especially if you are on your feet a lot or in warm weather.

This is why many foot health and footwear experts recommend:

• 🛍️ Trying on new shoes in the afternoon or early evening, when your feet are at their largest.
• 👟 Choosing shoes with a little wiggle room around the toes, not a tight squeeze.
• 🔁 Looking for adjustable fastenings such as laces, straps, or Velcro if your feet tend to swell.

A Foot Health Practitioner can help clients understand whether their footwear is really working for their feet, and how small changes can reduce rubbing, pressure and end of day discomfort.

👉 Fun question for this Friday:
Do you usually buy shoes in the morning, the afternoon, or online late at night?

Tell us in the comments and let us know when your feet do most of their shopping.

Did you know your feet and your brain are in constant conversation every time you stand or walk?

A few quick facts:
• 👣 The soles of your feet contain thousands of nerve endings that send rapid messages to your brain about pressure, balance and movement.
• 🧠 Your brain uses this information to adjust tiny muscles in your feet, ankles and legs so that you stay upright, even on uneven ground.
• ⚖️ This is why problems with the feet, footwear or sensation can affect balance and confidence when walking.

Foot Health Practitioners do not just look after nails and skin. By helping to keep feet comfortable and working well, they also support balance, confidence and independence. 👩⚕️👨⚕️

👉 Question for this Friday:
If you notice your balance changing, what is the first thing you tend to blame: your shoes, your feet, or “just getting older”?

❄️ 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?

Share it in the comments and help someone avoid chilly toes this weekend!

“I just want to walk to the shops without pain.” 🦶💬

Foot pain isn’t just about feet.
It affects independence, mood, sleep, social life and the simple confidence to get out of the house.

This is where Foot Health Practitioners quietly change lives.

In a single appointment you might:
👣 Help someone stand and walk more comfortably
🧦 Spot issues that need medical attention early
🪑 Give an older person the confidence to stay independent
😊 Send a client home feeling relieved instead of embarrassed

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we train people to do exactly that. Our Level 4 training gives you the skills to provide safe, professional, non-surgical foot care and build a career that genuinely makes a difference.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I want to work in healthcare, but I also want flexibility and my own clients,”
Foot Health could be the path you have been looking for.

Are you ready to take your foot health practice further? 🦶📈

Around 80% of leg and foot pain has a biomechanical cause. When you understand why problems like calluses, corns and joint pain keep coming back, you can move from “fixing the same issue again” to genuinely preventative care.

Our Biomechanics and Orthotics course helps Foot Health Practitioners to:
✅ Understand the mechanical causes behind common symptoms
✅ Reduce pain and improve mobility for patients
✅ Build long-term, review-based care rather than one-off appointments
✅ Grow a more sustainable, confident practice

No lab tie-ins, no complex equipment, just practical, clinically focused learning you can apply straight away.

👣 Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Your feet can produce up to half a pint of sweat a day… but they have no sweat odour of their own.

The smell only happens when sweat meets bacteria.
So technically…
It’s not your feet that smell, it’s the party your feet host. 🦠🎉

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach our students how to help patients manage foot odour, fungal infections, and moisture control with simple, effective treatments.

💡 A little foot care goes a long way, especially for keeping the party under control.

👟 Footwear Fit Check: Are Your Shoes Helping Or Harming?

Quick check you can do today:
✅ There should be a thumb’s width of space at the end of the shoe
✅ You should be able to wiggle all your toes
✅ No rubbing, pinching or red marks after wearing
✅ Shoes should feel comfortable from the start, not after "breaking in"

Tight or poorly fitted shoes can lead to corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, heel pain and long-term posture issues.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach future Foot Health Practitioners how to spot shoe-related problems and give patients practical, real-world advice that keeps them comfortable, active and confident.

💡 Take a moment today to check your shoes. Small changes can prevent big problems.

👣 Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Many young children go through a phase of walking on their tiptoes as they learn to balance and explore the world around them. In most cases, toe walking is completely normal, and children grow out of it by the age of two or three as their muscles and coordination develop.

However, if toe walking continues beyond early childhood, it can sometimes be linked to tight calf muscles, neurological conditions, or simply a habitual walking pattern that needs gentle correction.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach students how to recognise when toe walking is part of normal development and when it might require further assessment or referral.

💡 Every step tells a story, especially in growing feet.
