Not all feet are the same… so why wear one-size-fits-all support? 👣

We create personalised orthotics designed around your feet, your lifestyle, and your goals whether that’s reducing pain, improving posture, or keeping you moving comfortably every day. Custom assessment, tailored fit, real results.

Step smarter, not harder.

BEST CARE IS PREVENTATIVE CARE

Most kids are born with healthy feet that are naturally and brilliantly designed for optimal standing, walking, running, jumping, and climbing if they are allowed to function the way nature intended.

But normal shoes BIND their feet, hindering their natural foot structure and function, and, over time, this can cause many problems in their feet and the rest of their body!
Let's stop compromising the natural development of our kids' feet, and allow them to naturally grow strong and healthy.

Bad posture doesn’t start at your desk… it starts at your feet 👀

If your feet aren’t supported properly, your body has to compensate and that chain reaction can travel all the way up 👇
🦶 Feet roll in or collapse
🦵 Knees shift
🦴 Hips tilt
🧍‍♀️ Spine works overtime

Hello sore back, tight neck, and “why do I feel crooked by 3pm?” energy.

At Feet First, we look at posture from the ground up how your feet, gait, and footwear affect your entire body alignment.

The fix isn’t just “sit up straight.”
It’s correcting the foundation.

📍Book a posture & gait assessment and let’s get your body working with you, not against you.

Cracked heels aren’t just a cosmetic thing 👀

Dry, split heels can lead to pain, bleeding, and even infection if left untreated (not cute, not comfy).

Here’s what’s usually going on 👇
🦶 Pressure + dry skin = cracks
🦶 Open-backed shoes & hard floors don’t help
🦶 Poor foot mechanics can make the pressure worse

At Feet First, we don’t just smooth the surface we treat the cause.

✨ Professional heel debridement (safe + painless)
✨ Medical-grade moisturising plans
✨ Footwear & pressure advice
✨ Orthotics if biomechanics are part of the problem

Because soft heels aren’t just about looks they’re about healthy, pain-free feet.

📍Book a podiatry appointment and put cracked heels behind you (literally).

The way you walk can quietly explain a lot about aches, pains, and future injuries:

1) Toes pointing in → often linked to hip or foot alignment (common in kids, not something to ignore long-term)

2) Toes pointing out → can overload knees and ankles over time

3) Heavy heel striking → hello heel pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis

4)Rolling feet inward (flat/pronated) → extra stress on arches + inner ankle

5)Rolling feet outward (supinated) → less shock absorption, more pressure on the outside of the foot

Here’s the plot twist:
Your walk isn’t good or bad it’s just yours.

But understanding it early = less pain, better movement, and fewer “why do my feet hurt??” moments later.

If your feet ache, crack, burn, or complain every time you walk… that’s your sign.
Book an appointment before your feet file a formal complaint 📝👣

At Feet First, we’re one of the few podiatry clinics in Sydney that design and prescribe our own custom orthotics made for your feet..

Here’s why that matters 👇
🦶 Your feet are unique (arches, gait, pressure points = all different)
🦶 Custom orthotics support how you move, not how a generic foot “should”
🦶 They help reduce pain, improve posture, and prevent injuries long-term

Whether you’re:
✨ chasing kids
✨ standing all day at work
✨ training for sport
✨ or just sick of sore feet

Orthotics can be a game-changer, not a last resort.
Think of them as glasses for your feet once you have the right fit, everything feels clearer.

📍Book a podiatry assessment to see if custom orthotics are right for you.
Your future feet will thank you.

5 things parents should check before term starts:

1️⃣ Shoe fit (again)
Kids’ feet grow fast. If there’s less than a thumb’s width at the toe, it’s time to size up. Tight shoes = pain, blisters, and funky walking patterns.

2️⃣ Heel wear
Look at the bottom of their shoes. Uneven wear can be an early sign of gait or alignment issues.

3️⃣ Arch support
Flat, floppy shoes might look cute but they don’t support growing feet. Structure matters more than style (sorry, kids).

4️⃣ Complaints you’ve brushed off
“If my feet hurt” is not just school avoidance. Heel pain, tired legs, or limping = worth checking.

5️⃣ Sock & toenail situation
Yep, boring but important. Tight socks, ingrown nails, or rubbing seams can cause bigger problems than you’d expect.

A quick podiatry check before school starts can save a whole year of pain, injuries, and missed sport.

If foot pain lasts longer than a few weeks, it’s not “just one of those things.”
Pain is information not something to push through.

Most long-term foot issues don’t start suddenly.
They build quietly from:
• poor footwear
• repeated overload
• ignored niggles
• and small biomechanical faults left unchecked

The biggest mistake I see?
People wait until walking hurts every day.

Early treatment is simpler.
Later treatment is longer.

Your feet are your foundation.
Look after them early, and they’ll carry you well for life.

New year, new runs? 👟✨
Before you join a run club or smash your Strava goals, make sure your feet are actually ready for it.

At Feet First Podiatry, we see it all the time, new runners sidelined by pain that could’ve been avoided with the right footwear and guidance.

That’s why we often recommend beginner-friendly options from
Brooks, ASICS, HOKA & New Balance, chosen for support, cushioning, and injury prevention, not just looks.

The right shoe depends on your feet, your gait, and your goals.
Start smart. Run stronger. Stay pain-free.

👣 Book a pre-running foot check with our podiatrists and get set up properly from the ground up.

Not all thongs are bad for your feet.
Just most of them.

Traditional flat thongs offer zero arch support which means your feet are doing all the work, all day.

That’s where Archies Footwear are different 👣
✔️ Built-in arch support
✔️ Lightweight and flexible
✔️ Encourages better foot posture
✔️ Designed for all-day wear

For everyday life running errands, beach days, walking the dog, post-gym supportive footwear matters more than people realise.

Flat shoes can contribute to:
• heel pain
• arch fatigue
• plantar fasciitis
• tired, aching feet

Support doesn’t have to mean bulky or ugly.
Sometimes it’s just choosing a better version of what you already wear.

At Feet First Podiatry, we’re big on practical foot care small changes that make a big difference long-term.

Your feet carry you everywhere.
They deserve better than a $3 flat thong.
