Happy National I Love My Feet Day! 👣 Did you know August 17th is dedicated to celebrating these incredible parts of our body that carry us through life? As Dr. Devin Tranter, Utah-based CommonSpirit podiatrist, always says, taking care of your feet is paramount, and it all starts with the right shoes!

One of the top questions Dr. Tranter gets is: "What shoes should I buy or wear?" Here's his expert advice to keep your feet happy and healthy:

▪️ Match Shoes to Activity: Ditch those unsupportive flip-flops for long walking days! Your feet will thank you.

▪️Know Your Foot Type:
Low arches? You're prone to pronation (rolling inward), so look for motion control or over-pronator shoes.

High arches? You're more likely to supinate (roll outward), so you'll need under-pronation or over-supination shoes.

▪️ Check Shoe Support: A good shoe should only bend at the toe box, not in the middle or back, and it shouldn't twist easily. Be wary of overly minimalist or "cloud" shoes for long-term wear.

▪️ Test Before Buying: Don't be shy! Wear shoes in the store for 5-10 minutes. If they don't feel good immediately, they won't magically improve. When in doubt, try one type/size on each foot to compare.

This National I Love My Feet Day, let's put our best foot forward and show our feet the care they deserve! What are your favorite ways to pamper your feet? Share below!

Here Comes the Sun! The Emergency Department team at Holy Cross Hospital – Mountain Point has a fun morning ritual they call Sun Salutation.

They say it’s a chance for a quick mental break, helps with circadian rhythms, and gives them a positive boost for the day.
