HOKA, can you not target me like this? 😅

I just got a targeted ad for this unique pair of shoes from HOKA, a brand known for support.

They're so fun, but it reminded me that not every shoe from a supportive brand is designed for all-day wear or higher-demand activities. These are casual/lifestyle shoes, and while they’re fine for short outings or everyday errands, they may not offer the structure needed for walking long distances, standing for extended periods, or managing foot pain.

You can absolutely wear and enjoy them—but think twice before using them for anything beyond everyday light activity. For more supportive options (including within the same brand), feel free to ask—we're always happy to guide you.

Your feet deserve honesty (and maybe a second pair in the car 😉).

💙 We Appreciate You

At Sole Mates Podiatry, we’re truly grateful for the trust you place in us to care for your foot health. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up, treatment of a foot concern, or just seeking advice, your commitment to your well-being inspires us every day.

Running a small clinic means we get to build meaningful relationships with each patient who walks through our doors. It’s a privilege to support your journey toward pain-free, active living—helping you stay on your feet comfortably and confidently.

Here’s what makes us proud to serve this community:

* Personalized care tailored to your unique needs
* Evidence-based treatments combined with compassionate service
* A welcoming environment where your questions and concerns matter
* Guidance on everything from footwear choices to injury prevention

As we step into summer and sandal season, here are a few tips to keep your feet happy and healthy:

* Choose supportive footwear: Sandals with good arch support and cushioning can make a big difference. Avoid flat, unsupportive styles that can strain your feet.
* Stay hydrated: Proper hydration helps keep your skin soft and prevents cracking.
* Moisturize regularly: Dry summer air and sandal wearing can dry out your skin. Use a good foot cream daily.
* Protect your feet: Use sunscreen on exposed feet and be mindful of where you walk to avoid cuts or injuries.
* Listen to your feet: If you notice any discomfort, pain, or changes in your feet, don’t hesitate to book an appointment. Early treatment helps prevent bigger problems down the road.

If you ever have questions or need assistance between visits, don’t hesitate to reach out. Our team is here to support you with expert advice and care every step of the way.

Thank you for being part of our clinic family. We look forward to continuing to walk alongside you on your health journey.

⏰ We Need To Talk About: Missed Appointments

We know life can be busy, and we do our best to help you stay on track by sending email and text reminders before your appointment. But ultimately, keeping track of your appointment is your responsibility.

Our reminders are meant to be helpful prompts, not a replacement for managing your own schedule.

🔔 Please note:
A fee applies for missed appointments or cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice.

This isn’t arbitrary. As a small, independently run clinic:

* We reserve time and resources specifically for you
* If a patient doesn’t show up, we’re not able to fill that spot on short notice
* Like many small businesses, if we don’t see patients, we don’t get paid, and this affects our ability to keep the clinic running.

🗓️ Our next available appointment isn’t until **July 30**, which shows how valuable each spot truly is. Every appointment matters—for us, for you, and for other patients who need care.

Thank you for your understanding and for being part of a community that values respectful scheduling. We’re always here to help if you need to adjust your booking—just reach out in advance.

🌞 Sandal Season is Here! What Should You Be Wearing? 👣

With summer in full swing, it's time to let those feet breathe—but not all sandals are created equal when it comes to support and foot health!

👎 Too flat, too flimsy, or too hard? You’re not doing your feet any favors.

👢 My personal take: Birkenstocks are a classic, but if they feel too hard for your feet and you're relying on "breaking them in," they might not be right for you. Your sandals should feel supportive from day one!

✅ If you want something softer but still supportive, I recommend trying Oofos—especially great for cushioning and recovery.

🔍 What to Look for in a Supportive Sandal:

🦶 Contoured Footbeds – Arch support that matches your foot's natural shape

🪵 Firm, Structured Soles – Avoid anything that bends or twists too easily

👠 Slight Heel Lift – About 1 inch to reduce strain on the Achilles

🔗 Adjustable Straps – Ensure a secure, customizable fit

🧽 Shock-Absorbing Materials – Like EVA foam or cork for comfort + support

👟 Podiatrist-Approved Sandals I Recommend:

Oofos – Amazing cushioning and arch support (great for recovery!) My personal go-to.
Vionic – Designed by a podiatrist, supportive + stylish
Birkenstock – Classics like the Arizona and Gizeh offer great structure
Teva – Good for wide feet and all-day wear
Hoka – Especially the Ora Recovery Slide for plush comfort

👣 Your feet do a lot for you—don’t forget to take care of them this summer.

📍 Stop by our clinic if you need support for foot pain that’s stopping you from enjoying the season!
