Sole Care Podiatry

A busy week here at Sole Care Podiatry, with appointments filling quickly - thank you for the ongoing support.

If you’ve been meaning to book in, we still have good availability next week. Just a reminder that we’ll be closed on Monday for the King’s Birthday public holiday, with normal hours resuming from Tuesday onwards.

Whether it’s foot pain, nail care, footwear advice or simply getting back on top of things before winter really sets in, we’re here to help.

Sometimes the best shoe isn’t the most supportive or sporty one - it’s the one you can actually get on comfortably and independently.

Madison has been added to our range with exactly that in mind.

A lightweight everyday shoe with an easy open strap and a softer, more accommodating upper for feet that can be difficult to fit into traditional lace-up styles.

A few more appointments have opened up over the next week.

If something’s been niggling, now’s a good time to get on top of it before it turns into something more stubborn.

Easy parking, local buses nearby.

We think you should know exactly what you're paying before you walk through the door. No surprises, no awkward moments at the end of your appointment. Just straightforward, honest care from people who've been looking after Christchurch feet for a long time.

Our fees are on our website. You're welcome to have a look before you book.

From simple foot care needs such as trimming thickened toe nails, to removing corns or callus; Solecare Podiatry offers a comprehensive service to those living in Avonhead and surrounding suburbs.

Helping Us Look After Everyone

At Solecare, each appointment time is reserved just for you.

If plans change, giving us a bit of notice means we can offer that spot to someone else who may be waiting for care.

Missed appointments without notice can’t always be filled and may likely incur a fee.

We’re always happy to help when circumstances are unavoidable - just keep us in the loop.

Behind the scenes at Solecare

Our sterilisation system (autoclave) has just completed its annual service and validation - and passed.

As part of this process, they also run biological monitoring.
A sample is taken from inside the steriliser and cultured to check for any surviving microorganisms. That result has also come back clear.

It’s all part of maintaining compliance with AS/NZS 5369:2023 - the standard that governs infection prevention and control in healthcare settings.

Not something you see during your visit, but an important part of making sure everything we do is safe, clean, and consistent.

As the nights get cooler, most people switch into slippers at home.

They’re comfortable - but often very soft and unsupportive under load.

We tend to see more flare-ups this time of year,
not from doing more, but from what’s changed at home.

In some cases, a more supportive option at home can make a noticeable difference - we keep a small range in clinic.
