Feeling Festive? Spare a thought for your feet
Christmas catch-ups, works dos, visiting family, parties, plus extra shopping trips or fitting in appointments, our feet take a real pounding at this time of year. So here are some tips to keep yourfeet happy from the festive dancefloor to the January sales.
Don’t make it a marathon
I see the most damage from people expecting the same pair of shoes to cover very different activities, morning till night. Spare shoes are festive heroes: trainers for the school run, commute, taxi-dash and shopping, good supportive shoes during the working day, heels and pointed toes (yes, gents, I’ve seen yours!) when you get to the party.
If the slipper fits…
Take a tip from Cinderella, and make sure party shoes fit just as well as any others, as you must never resort to taking them off on the dancefloor, where you’re at high risk of getting trodden on, slipping on spilt drinks, or slicing them on dropped glass- all real nasties.
A little thought, a lot more fun
Enjoy raising a glass, but alcohol is actually dehydrating, so make sure you alternate with soft drinks or water (a clearer head can also make the night- and next morning- more fun!) Treat your feet to a gentle warm soak when home, and dry well, it’s amazing how refreshing it feels, too.
Looking back over a year of blogs, from top tips and travel to moving the clinic and renovations, I wonder how I’ve fitted it all in! I’ve loved sharing all my news with you, but with a busy New Year ahead, I’m scaling down these regular blogs for a few months to focus on seeing my lovely clients.
You can get in touch for appointments and queries anytime by calling 07725 300290. You can leave a message and myself or Sue will call you back to secure you an appointment. Also keep an eye on my Facebook, where I’ll still be posting my regular updates, tips and news (like the imminent return to super-smart Carnforth Chiropodist Central!). Remember, you can always leave me a private message on my Facebook.
Have a wonderful festive season and start to 2025; I’ll be busy collecting spring feet updates to share!
All the best, Carol x
