Q: How to find a comfortable winter boot
A: Here are some steps to help you pick comfortable winter boots!
1. Take note of where you are and the conditions you find. If you are going to be on ice, take a look at the tread to prevent slips and falls. Be sure that the tread goes all the way to the edge.
2. How long will you be outside? If you will work outside all day, warmer boots may be needed than for workers who are outside for very short periods. If your boots are too warm, it can actually predispose you for chills in the feet because of sweating.
3. Make sure your boots fit properly! In addition to causing pain, shoes that are too tight can cut off circulation and lead to cold feet. Also, take into consideration the socks you will wear. Your thick winter socks may cause your shoe to fit tight.
4. If you wear orthotics, look for boots that can fit your orthotics! In most cases, a boot with a removable insole is the best option.

Foot FAQ/Fact Friday
Q: How does a Pedorthist help with heel pain?
A: A Canadian Certified Pedorthist commonly deals with chronic or reoccurring heel pain.
Most cases of heel pain are a result of improper biomechanics of the foot or feet.
Some of us collapse in too much (overpronation or arch collapse). This causes stress on the plantar fascia, a band along the bottom of the foot. This band inserts into the heel on the bottom of the foot and can become irritated because of repetitive stress.
Your Canadian Certified Pedorthist can help determine if a better selection of footwear or custom foot orthotics would help resolve your issues.

If you’re going into your first pedorthic assessment - you may be wondering what it includes. A pedorthist will assess your foot structure and overall function, by checking the range of motion you have at certain joints and to determine where your pain is coming from.

The Pedorthist will also watch you walk or run. How you walk can be causing some of your troubles and could be compensating for the pain that you have.

It's that time of year when teachers put aside their summer sandals or shoes and put on their work shoes. The demands of the classroom are probably different than the demands of your summer, so have a read about what to look for in your return to school footwear.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. (At least for some) This article is for those who will now be going back to school, namely, our educators. It’s time to educate themselves about their feet. Standing for long periods or generally being on your feet more can cause issues for many, and the...
