I’m grateful to be featured in Travel + Leisure discussing what podiatrists actually look for in travel shoes and why New Balance consistently performs well for people who spend long days on their feet.

In the article, I share a guideline I often use in practice: New Balance models numbered 800 and above typically provide the cushioning, stability, and support travelers need. We also discussed styles like the Fresh Foam 1080, which offer even more cushioning while still fitting into today’s fashion landscape.

Footwear doesn’t have to be a trade-off between comfort and appearance anymore. Travelers can find shoes that support foot health and feel current which is a balance that really matters when you’re walking miles a day.

Do your feet usually feel better or worse by the end of a travel day?

Foot pain isn’t something you should have to “live with.”

Pain that lasts more than a couple of weeks, keeps returning, interferes with walking, or comes with numbness or swelling is often a sign that something deeper is going on. While natural approaches can help early on, persistent symptoms usually require a closer look to identify the true cause.

The goal isn’t just symptom relief, it’s accuracy. Understanding what’s driving the pain is what allows treatment to be effective and predictable.

If foot pain hasn’t improved on its own, it may be time to stop waiting and start understanding why.

If foot pain keeps returning, it’s often because the same areas are being asked to absorb too much load, over and over again.

Temporary relief from rest, stretching, or new shoes can help symptoms, but without addressing movement and alignment, the underlying stress pattern usually remains. That’s why the pain cycle repeats.

Evaluating biomechanics helps identify where pressure is being misdirected and how movement can be improved for more predictable, lasting outcomes.

As we move into 2026, it’s a good time to stop managing pain and start understanding it.

A stronger body doesn’t start in the gym but with how your body connects to the ground.

Your feet play a critical role in alignment, balance, and how force travels through your joints. When movement patterns are off, the body compensates, often leading to knee pain, hip tension, back discomfort, or recurring injuries that never seem to fully resolve.

Functional podiatry focuses on understanding why pain is happening by evaluating movement as a whole, not just treating where it hurts.

As we move into 2026, it’s a great time to rethink how you approach foot and joint health.

Foot pain often shows up when the body is under more stress than it can comfortably handle.

Stress affects muscle tension, circulation, inflammation, and recovery, all of which directly impact how your feet function throughout the day. When those systems are overloaded, discomfort is often the signal.

Supporting foot health means looking at the full picture from movement habits and recovery to daily routines and long-term patterns. Small, consistent practices can reduce strain before pain becomes persistent.

As we move into 2026, it’s a great time to be proactive instead of reactive.

Pain doesn’t always start where you feel it. When the feet aren’t functioning properly, the entire kinetic chain is affected and often lead to recurring discomfort that never fully resolves.

Long-term relief usually comes from understanding movement patterns, not just treating symptoms. A personalized approach can help identify what’s actually driving the pain and how to correct it.

If this sounds familiar, 2026 is a great time to take a different approach.

Winter has a way of reminding us where our bodies need support.

Cold weather can increase stiffness, inflammation, and discomfort, especially in the feet and ankles. Supporting circulation, movement, footwear, and recovery now can help prevent bigger issues later.

And when pain keeps lingering, that’s your body asking for answers, not just symptom relief.

You don’t need a full workout to take care of your feet and body. Just a few minutes of movement can make a difference.

Simple things like walking around the office, stretching during breaks, or standing up regularly help keep circulation flowing and muscles strong.

Consistency is key. Even small steps add up to better health over time 💙
