Start this school year off on the right foot 🍎✂️✏️ 👣

Your child’s feet can grow up to two sizes in six months, so you need to account for growth when buying shoes. That does not mean you should buy shoes that are too big/oversized shoes cause the foot to slide forward, putting excessive pressure on the toes.

Tight shoes can cause blisters, corns and calluses on your child’s toes, blisters on the back of the heels or worse, ingrown nails, which can become infected. Signs of infection from ingrown nails include pain, redness or fluid draining from the area.

Shoes lose their shock absorption over time, so inspect new and old shoes for proper cushioning and arch support.

Any questions or concerns call our office to schedule a visit at (586) 372-7200. We are here for you one step at a time.
