New school shoes causing problems already?

They may have only been wearing them for a few days, but children's feet can soon tell us when something isn't quite right.

Look out for:

👣 Red marks or rubbing
👣 Blisters
👣 Complaints of sore feet or toes
👣 Reluctance to wear their new shoes
👣 Changes in the way they're walking

New shoes sometimes need a little getting used to, but persistent pain or rubbing shouldn't simply be accepted as part of 'wearing them in'.

And remember, podiatry isn't just for grown-up feet. If you're concerned about your child's feet, we're here to help.

Call us on 01372 454583 if you'd like your child's feet checked over.

Sometimes the most important step is simply finding out what's causing the problem.

🍂 Hello September!

September has a habit of bringing us all back into a routine. Schools are back, diaries start filling up again and life suddenly feels a little busier.

So while you're getting everything else organised, here's a little reminder not to forget your feet.

If you've spent the summer ignoring an ache, putting up with a troublesome toenail or hoping that niggling foot problem will simply disappear, September could be the perfect time to get it checked.

Healthy, comfortable feet make everyday life that little bit easier. 👣

👣 Podiatry isn't just for grown-ups!

We've been talking a lot about growing feet as everyone gets ready for the new school year, but did you know that we also looks after children's feet?

Children may experience many of the same foot problems as adults – but they aren't always as good at telling us when something hurts or doesn't feel quite right.

Perhaps you've noticed your child:

👣 Complaining that their feet or heels hurt
👣 Regularly getting blisters, rubbing or sore areas
👣 Having problems with their toenails
👣 Developing a verruca
👣 Walking or running differently
👣 Avoiding activities they previously enjoyed
👣 Struggling to find shoes that feel comfortable

Sometimes a little reassurance and advice is all that's needed. Other times, there may be something that would benefit from treatment or further assessment.

If you're concerned about your child's feet, you don't have to wait until a small problem becomes a bigger one.

At Bookham Podiatry, we're here to help look after feet of all ages – including the little ones that are still growing.

Call us on 01372 454583 for appointments.

The school shoes are sorted, the uniform is labelled and the bags are packed…but what about those trainers hiding at the bottom of the PE bag? 👟

It's tempting to send last term's pair back to school if they still look perfectly good. But children's feet can grow quickly, and trainers that haven't been worn much over the summer may no longer fit comfortably.

Before they go back into the PE bag, ask your child to try them on with the socks they'll usually wear for PE and check:

👣 Is there enough room for their toes?
👣 Do they feel tight anywhere across the foot?
👣 Is the heel secure rather than slipping?
👣 Are there any worn or uneven areas on the soles?
👣 Do they rub or pinch when your child walks or runs?

PE lessons can involve running, jumping and quick changes of direction, so comfortable, well-fitting footwear really matters.

And remember – a trainer doesn't have to look worn out to have been outgrown!

Five minutes checking the fit now could save some very uncomfortable PE lessons later.

The new school term is almost upon us & we are certain there's some last minute uniform panic going on!

We know – back-to-school shopping isn't cheap.

Uniform, bags, stationery, PE kit…and then there are the school shoes. With children's feet growing so quickly, it's completely understandable to want to buy a little bigger in the hope they'll last longer.

But when it comes to growing feet, bigger isn't always better.

Shoes that are too large can allow the foot to move around inside, which may lead to rubbing, blisters and discomfort. They can also make children alter the way they walk to try to keep their shoes on.

Of course, growing room is important – the key is getting the right amount.

And good school shoes don't necessarily have to be the most expensive pair in the shop. What's much more important is choosing footwear that's the right length, width and shape for your child's feet, with a secure fastening and a comfortable fit.

So rather than buying bigger to get better value, buy the best fit you can within your budget.

Their school shoes are going to work pretty hard over the coming months – running around the playground, walking to school and carrying them through busy days in the classroom.

Getting the fit right is one back-to-school investment their growing feet will thank you for.

New school shoes are probably already creeping onto the back-to-school list – but when was the last time your child's feet were properly measured?

Children's feet can grow surprisingly quickly, and the shoes that fitted perfectly a few months ago may already be feeling a little snug.

When choosing their school shoes, look beyond the number on the box. A good fit should take into account the length, width and shape of your child's foot, with enough room for their toes to move comfortably.

Look for:

👣 Plenty of room around the toes without the foot sliding around
👣 A secure fastening to hold the foot comfortably in place
👣 A flexible sole that bends where the foot bends
👣 A supportive, comfortable fit around the heel
👣 No rubbing, pinching or pressure points

And don't rely on your child always telling you when their shoes are uncomfortable! Check regularly for red marks, blisters or areas of rubbing – and keep an eye out for reluctance to wear particular shoes.

Those school shoes are going to cover a lot of miles over the coming months. Taking a little extra time to get the fit right now can help keep growing feet comfortable throughout the school day.

If you do spot anything that may need professional help, we are here 6 days a week to keep us all pain free.

Whether we're ready for these summer days to end or not, we can't avoid the fact that the new school year is fast approaching! ☀️➡️🎒

And while we talk a lot about looking after adult feet, foot health matters just as much for our younger patients too.

Children's feet are constantly growing and changing – and once they're back at school, they'll be spending long days walking, running, playing, taking part in PE and generally putting those feet through their paces.

So, over the next couple of weeks, we're turning our attention to children's foot health and sharing some simple advice to help get their feet ready for the new school year.

We'll be talking about:

👟 Choosing and fitting school shoes
👣 Why buying shoes too big isn't necessarily a money-saver
🏃 Checking those PE trainers too
🧦 The importance of socks
🔎 Signs that something might not be quite right
💷 And how to make sensible footwear choices when back-to-school costs are already mounting

Because looking after feet isn't just for grown-ups.

A little attention now can help keep growing feet happy, healthy and comfortable throughout the school year.

Here's to enjoying every last bit of the summer holidays – while quietly getting ready for September! ☀️

Sometimes it's more than just discomfort. 👣

Throughout our recent posts, we've been sharing simple ways to keep your feet healthy, comfortable and summer-ready.

But sometimes, looking after your feet means knowing when it's time to seek professional help.

An ingrown toenail isn't something you have to live with. What may start as a little tenderness can quickly become painful, swollen and make every step uncomfortable.

At Bookham Podiatry, we can assess and treat ingrown toenails safely, helping to relieve pain and reduce the chance of the problem returning.
So if you're avoiding certain shoes, changing the way you walk or putting off getting it looked at, now could be the perfect time to take that first step.

Because healthy feet aren't just about looking good this summer, they're about feeling comfortable every day.

Call us on 01372 454583 to discuss treatment options.

Hot feet during the day are one thing, but hot feet at night are something else! Just when you're ready to switch off, your feet have other ideas.

Hot or burning feet can feel more noticeable at night and there are a number of possible reasons behind it. Sometimes it can be as simple as your feet overheating after a warm day, lots of walking or wearing enclosed footwear.

But if that hot or burning sensation happens regularly, is uncomfortable, or comes with tingling, numbness or pain, it's probably worth getting it checked.

Your feet can tell you a lot – and persistent changes shouldn't simply be ignored.

At Bookham Podiatry, we can assess what may be causing your symptoms and advise you on the best next steps.
