As a podiatrist, I look for support. As a busy mom, I also want shoes that feel comfortable and fit into real life.

For me, that looks like slippers at home, recovery shoes for my daughter after volleyball practices and games, sneakers for my workday, and boots for a fun weekend outing.

Different moments call for different shoes. And, that’s what I appreciate about the Revitalign lineup: options that bring comfort, support, and style into different parts of our day.

Toenail treatments can take MONTHS to show visible results but that doesn’t mean you have to wait months to feel better about how your toenails look. 👣✨

Keryflex is a cosmetic nail reconstruction system that allows us to create a natural-looking artificial nail over a damaged or abnormal nail while the underlying nail continues to grow.

And an important distinction: KeryFlex improves the appearance of the nail. It does not treat the underlying cause of the nail changes. That’s why choosing where to book depends on what you need:

✨ Solely Nails Salon : KeryFlex can be booked as a stand-alone service. This is a great option if you’re already under the care of a physician for your nail condition and are looking for aesthetic correction while your nail grows out.

🩺 Dr. Anne Sharkey : If you don’t know why your nail looks different or you want evaluation, diagnosis, discussion of treatment options AND aesthetic reconstruction. KeryFlex can be incorporated into your podiatry appointment when appropriate.

Because sometimes we need to treat the problem and help you feel good about your feet while we’re doing it. ❤️

Ready for a toenail transformation? Book KeryFlex through Solely Nails Salon or schedule an evaluation with Solely Podiatry.

Your walking shoes should match more than your feetz They should also match the weather. 🌧️👟

On a normal day, I’m reaching for a supportive athletic shoe to walk the dogs. But after several inches of rain? Those breathable uppers that are great for everyday activity can become soaked pretty quickly.

And this is where water-resistant vs. waterproof matters:

💧 Water-resistant: Designed to repel some moisture and may be a great choice for light rain, damp grass or a brief walk in wet conditions.

🌧️ Waterproof: Designed to create a stronger barrier against water and is the better choice when you expect significant rain, puddles, mud or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

Today called for the waterproof boots.

One more thing: waterproof doesn’t automatically mean ideal for every walk. For longer distances, I still want good fit, traction, stability and comfort. But for a short dog walk after several inches of rain? Keeping my feet, and my regular shoes, dry wins.

The takeaway: choose your shoes for the activity AND the conditions.

I’m restocking my shelves with SkinIntegra today, and it’s a good opportunity to talk about something that deserves daily attention: your skin barrier. This isn’t a paid partnership.

Your skin’s outer layer helps keep moisture in and irritants out. As the air gets drier and the heat comes on indoors, skin can lose moisture and become rough, itchy, or cracked.

Emollients help soften and smooth the skin, and a good moisturizer helps it hold onto moisture. The goal is to keep skin comfortable and supple with consistent care.

That’s especially important if you have diabetes, neuropathy, or a condition like eczema. Some nerve damage can affect sweating, and reduced sensation means you might not feel a crack or injury developing.

Make moisturizing part of your daily routine and use that time to look at your skin, too. For feet, keep between the toes dry and free of cream. If you notice an open area, redness, warmth, swelling, or drainage, contact your care team.

As you get ready for the drier months, give your skin barrier a little attention every day.

Think this is toenail fungus? 👀

Not every thick, yellow or damaged toenail is fungal.

This patient is just 21 years old but has a history of soccer and repeated trauma to this nail. Fungal testing performed by dermatology was negative.

Repeated trauma, especially from sports, cleats and repetitive impact, can damage the nail matrix and nail bed. Over time, that can lead to thickening, discoloration, ridging, lifting and an irregular nail plate that can look a LOT like fungus.

In this case, I trimmed, thinned and debrided the damaged nail to reduce the abnormal nail burden and better evaluate what was happening underneath.

The takeaway: yellow ≠ fungus.

If you’re treating a “fungal” toenail that never seems to improve, it may be worth asking whether something else is causing the nail changes.

Educational content only. Nail appearance alone cannot diagnose or exclude fungal infection.

Save this one AND send it to your soccer player. ⚽️👣

POV: your mom is a podiatrist and apparently NO shoe is exempt from inspection. 😂👟

Not even the slippers.

When I’m shoe shopping, I can’t help myself. I’m looking at more than whether a shoe is cute. I’m checking things like:

👟 How easily does it bend and twist?
👟 Is there any structure or stability?
👟 What does the sole look like?
👟 Does it actually fit the foot properly?
👟 And most importantly… is it comfortable for the person wearing it?

Does every shoe need to be a perfectly supportive orthopedic shoe? Absolutely not. Sometimes a fun shoe is just a fun shoe. But knowing what you’re buying and when and how often you plan to wear it matters.

Meredith has been subjected to these shoe inspections her entire life. 😂

Tell me: Would you want to go shoe shopping with a podiatrist… or would I drive you crazy? 👇
