As temperatures drop, our footwear gets heavier, warmer, and often less flexible. Hereโ€™s how to help your feet adjust comfortably.

๐Ÿฅพ Check Your Boot Fit
โœจ Toe Room: Ensure a thumbโ€™s width of space at the front
โœจ Arch Support: Winter boots often lack built-in support โ€” add orthotics or insoles if needed
โœจ Ankle Stability: A snug, supportive ankle prevents rolling on icy surfaces
โœจ Heel Fit: Your heel should stay secure without lifting

โ„๏ธ Donโ€™t Forget Warmth Without Bulk: Choose boots with good insulation but still enough room for your toes to move. Thick socks shouldnโ€™t make your boots tight.

โ„๏ธ Winter Skin Alert: Dry, Cracked Heels โ„๏ธ
Dry, cracked heels are common in colder months โ€” and for some people, the skin can split or even bleed, making every step uncomfortable.

๐Ÿฆถ Why It Happens
Cold, dry winter air pulls moisture from the skin. Your heels carry a lot of pressure, so when the skin becomes dry and thick, itโ€™s more likely to crack.

๐Ÿ’ง How to Treat & Prevent Cracked Heels
โœจ Moisturize daily with a urea-based cream (10โ€“25%) โ€” urea helps exfoliate and draw moisture into the skin, making it one of the best ingredients for repairing cracked heels.
โœจ Apply cream at night and lock it in with socks.
โœจ Avoid picking or over-filing, which can make cracks worse.
โœจ Protect your feet with proper footwear and warm socks.
โœจ Hydrate & consider a humidifier to combat dry indoor air.

โ— When to Seek Help
If cracks become deep, painful, or start to bleed, a chiropodist can safely treat the area, reduce thickened skin, and help prevent infection.

Some individuals living with diabetes may notice that wounds take longer to heal.

This can be related to changes in circulation, blood sugar levels, or reduced sensation (neuropathy). When sensation is diminished, a person may not feel pressure, friction, or small injuries, which can delay awareness of a wound and affect how quickly it begins to heal.

Healthy nerves play an important role in wound healing. Yearly monofilament testing helps determine whether the nerves in the feet are sending signals properly. This simple test can identify reduced sensation, which may influence how well the skin responds to injury and how effectively it begins to close or form a protective scab.

Early identification of sensation loss is an important part of ongoing foot monitoring for individuals living with diabetes.

Many people with diabetes believe that if their feet donโ€™t hurt, everything must be fine โ€” but thatโ€™s a common misconception. โŒ๐Ÿฆถ

Neuropathy (nerve damage) can reduce your ability to feel pain, pressure, or temperature changes. This means small issues like cuts, blisters, or areas of pressure can develop quietly and become more serious over time. โš ๏ธ

Even without pain, your feet may not be telling the whole story.

Regular foot checks โ€” both at home and with your foot specialist โ€” are an important part of preventing complications and keeping your feet healthy. โœ”๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

If you have diabetes, staying proactive is one of the best ways to protect your long-term foot health. ๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Neuropathy refers to nerve damage that can reduce sensation in the feet.

When sensation is diminished, small injuries or pressure areas may go unnoticed, which can increase the risk of ulcers and infectionโ€”especially for individuals living with diabetes.

Daily foot checks, proper footwear, and regular assessments with a foot health professional are key parts of prevention and early detection.
