A simple & effective way to assess if the shoes you (or someone else) wears are in fact good for your feet.
1: Grab yourself a piece of paper, lay it on the ground and draw an outline around your feet (give your toes a little wiggle before).
2: take out the shoe bed/liner from your most commonly worn shoe. Line up the heel area with the heel drawn keeping the insole in the middle of your outline. Note; not all liners come out so be sure you do not pull out a liner that’s not meant to be removed 😬
3: Draw around that foot bed/liner with a different coloured pen & take them away
⛔️If your feet fall outside of the foot liner/bed then your shoes are restricting your feet. The more extreme this is, the more restriction takes place.
⛔️ You may fit nicely within the shoe bed/liner but are your feet able to spread their toes are looking at your toes, are they squeezed together?
For fun, do the test again but before drawing around your feet, give them a little wiggle & perform the steps again 😊

I just wanted to tell you a little about myself. Your Friendly Foot Health Professional
On qualifying as an nurse in 1981, I initially worked with people with learning disabilities. I then gained experience in a variety of specialities such, as general nursing, mental health and elderly care. Over the past 9 years I have been working within the Gibraltar Health Authority, Gibraltar.
Having a very successful career in nursing, I was aware that good quality foot care enhanced the lives of people, I decided to embark on further training to enhance my knowledge and skills in foot care. In February 2018 I graduated as a Foot Health Professional with a diploma in Foot Health Care, from the prestigious SMAE institute in the UK, which was founded in 1919. They are the longest running independent provider of training in Foot Health in the UK. They have reputation for excellence in teaching and pastoral support. The diploma in Foot Health which I completed is credit rated by Queen Margaret University, in Scotland.
As a foot health professional I am able to keep people’s feet healthy and give advice on day-to-day foot care to ensure your feet are healthy and comfortable into old age. I help men and woman of all ages...foot care is not just for old people! I treat, corns, callus, thickened nails, in-gown toenails, verucca, and neurovascular and diabetic assessments are carried out. I have established a care pathway, so if I cannot treat your foot condition I can refer you to a lovely local podiatrist.
Recently I have undertaken more training and I am now able to offer a safe and reliable treatment for those unsightly fungal nails, and I have learned how to do a basic Swedish leg and foot massage. you can also finish your treatment with painted nails. In the near future I will be able to offer toenail reconstruction.
I am a member of The College of Foot Health Professionals and The British Association of foot health professionals. I have full indemnity insurance and my business is registered with the Office of Fair trading, Gibraltar.
I love helping men and woman, who have issues with their feet. I’ll help you to enjoy and pursue life to the full, free of foot pain and discomfort, confidentially in your own home.
