For all the runners out there 👟✨

Whether you are training for a race, building up your distance, or simply enjoying a jog around the castle, your feet are doing a huge amount of work. Every mile puts pressure on your toes, heels and arches, and small issues can quickly turn into painful problems that slow you down.

At About Feet Podiatry in Carrickfergus, we support runners of all ages and abilities with the care they need to keep moving comfortably. If you are dealing with aching arches, sore heels, thick or damaged nails, blisters that keep coming back, or hard skin that rubs in your shoes, we can help. We also assess how your feet move, which can make a real difference if you are struggling with pain on the inside or outside of the foot, tight calves or a change in how you run.

Keeping your feet healthy is one of the simplest ways to keep your training enjoyable. A little care can prevent injury, improve comfort and help you feel stronger with every step.

If your feet are holding you back or you would like some professional advice before increasing your distance, you can reach us through our website to arrange an appointment: 👉 aboutfeetcarrickfergus.com/contact

Corns and thick skin form when pressure builds on one spot of your foot. They might look small, but they can be surprisingly painful.

Filing or plasters may help for a few days, but they don’t fix the cause. We gently remove the hard skin and identify what’s creating the pressure so it doesn’t keep coming back.

If walking is becoming uncomfortable, contact us today:

About Feet Carrickfergus has been serving the community since 1992 with compassionate, confidential podiatry treatments.

Toe-tally Tuesday 👣💛

Do your feet ever feel tired at the end of the day? That deep ache that starts in your arches or heels and somehow travels up into your legs and back? It’s easy to brush off tired feet as a small thing, but over time, that constant fatigue can start to affect the way you walk, stand, and even sleep.

Your feet are designed to support your entire body, but they can only do that comfortably when they’re cared for. Foot fatigue often begins with simple things - shoes that don’t quite fit, a lack of arch support, or hard surfaces that strain your muscles and joints. Add in a busy lifestyle or time spent on your feet at work, and you’ve got a recipe for discomfort.

A good start is to choose footwear that truly supports you. Look for shoes that feel firm but cushioned, with room for your toes to move freely. Switch pairs regularly to let them dry out and recover between wears. At home, a few minutes of stretching your feet and calves can work wonders. Rolling a tennis ball under your arch, massaging your heels, or soaking your feet in warm water all help ease tension and improve circulation.

Sometimes persistent fatigue can also signal an underlying issue, like fallen arches, over-pronation, or poor footwear alignment. That’s where professional podiatry care makes a difference. We can assess how your feet move, relieve pressure points, and help restore the comfort and balance you might not even realise you’ve lost.

At About Feet Podiatry in Carrickfergus, we’ve been helping our community move comfortably for more than thirty years. If your feet are aching more than they should, or you simply want to keep them feeling their best, we’d love to help.

Take that step towards comfort and confidence - you can contact us today to arrange an appointment through our website:
