But first - grab a pack of our blister packs, they're always handy to have for when your shoes decide to not be your bestie.
As the excitement builds and the last-minute wrapping begins, we want to wish our wonderful community a joyful and relaxing Christmas. Whether you’re hosting, travelling, or simply putting your feet up (our personal recommendation!), we hope the day brings comfort, connection, and a little magic.
Thank you for trusting us with your foot health throughout the year. It’s been our pleasure to help keep you moving, pain-free, and ready for every festive step.

Ingrown toenails cause pain and redness on the side of your toenail, where the nail has started growing into the skin. This can make it uncomfortable or painful to walk, wear shoes, or even feel the pressure of a bed sheet on your toe. While we see many people for their ingrown toenails every week, if your ingrown nail has just started and isn’t too bad yet, or if you can’t get to your podiatrist, being able to try to relieve the pain from your ingrown toenail at home can be extremely helpful. Here’s what you should do.🦶
As 2025 draws to a close, we want to say a heartfelt thank you for trusting us with your foot health this year. Whether you visited the clinic, shopped online, or read our blog posts, we’re grateful you’ve found our service of benefit.
