What Type of Shoes Should You Buy For a Child?

1. Inappropriate footwear could lead to deformities of the toes or cause ingrown toenails. Achilles tendonitis and bursitis could also occur.

2. Choose footwear that fits correctly and supports your child’s foot effectively. Velcro or laces on the instep help hold and support the foot as your child moves around.

3. Avoid very stiff soles as this can cause pain in the heels and soles of the feet.

4. Kids footwear should be made of natural materials, such as leather, to allow the feet to breathe. Synthetic fabrics increase the risk of hyperhidrosis, mycosis, as well as verrucae and skin eczema.

5. Flip flops, clogs, or ballet pumps do not provide sufficient support and force the foot to use a “claw” like position, which can lead to deformities. So this type of footwear is not recommended for regular daily use.

6. Wearing slippers at home allows a child to rest their feet and keep their feet cosy, while still providing an element of support.

7. The shoe liner should be flat and flexible, removable ideally. Cutting Edge Podiatry can help you with orthotics if required.

Verrucae Q&A

❓How long is the incubation Period for Verrucae?
✅As the verruca virus enters the cells of the epithelium, it replicates rapidly 10-200 times. How long it takes and how successful it is at replication depends on its HPV sub-type and the individual’s immune system.

❓How Do You Catch Verrucae?
✅You contract the virus by contacting the viral particles (virions) from an infected hand or foot. It can be very contagious, with the virus entering the skin epithelium.
Skin health may determine susceptibility. For example, macerated skin with high water content may make it more susceptible to entry and spread.
Areas prone to increased pressure and mechanical stress, such as corns can often have a verruca beneath or beside, making diagnosis more complicated.

❓Why Can't my Immune System Overcome Verrucae
✅When a virus infects an individual, the virus replication activates the T-cells, our immune system’s response to a ‘home invasion’. The HPV does not do this. Instead, it successfully infiltrates the skin and replicates within the cells without setting off any alarms. Not only does it not set off the alarms, but it actively produces a suppressant to inhibit the anti-inflammatory response that the infection would usually make.

❓Do Verrucae have Roots?
✅The verruca virus enters the skin through the epithelium. It is skin deep only and does not enter the body’s living tissues any deeper. Therefore, they do not have roots.

Chilblains are small, itchy, reddish-purple bumps or patches that can develop on your fingers or toes after being out in the cold. When the skin is cold and tiny blood vessels get narrower.

Exposure to heat then warms them up too quickly, and the blood vessels widen. If you heat up too quickly, the vessels expand too quickly, which can cause blood to leak into the surrounding tissue, causing swelling, itchiness, and purple patches. Chilblains can be incredibly painful, so they are best avoided.

📣Winter is coming! Here are some top tips to prevent cracked heels! 👇

The following steps will help you keep your heels smooth and soft:
👣Moisturise Regularly: Use a good quality foot cream or moisturiser, especially after bathing.

👣Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside.

👣Take care to avoid piping hot water as this can have the opposite effect and make your skin too soft, making it more prone to cracking! Adding things like epsom salts, essential oils or apple cider vinegar is great for extremely dry feet.

👣Choose the Right Footwear: Wear shoes that fit well and provide adequate heel support.

👣Use a Humidifier: Combat dry indoor air with a humidifier in your home.

👣Gentle Exfoliation: Regularly remove hard skin gently with a pumice stone or long handed foot file (not a cheese grater type). The file is most effective if you do this when your feet are dry. We recommend you do this little and often rather than trying to file it all away in one go.

👣Deep Moisturisation: Apply a thick foot cream or ointment before bed and wear cotton socks overnight (see moisturising tips below!)

👣You are what you eat: Omega3 fatty acids and zinc supplements can help to revitalise skin tissue.

👣Professional Help: For severe cases, consult a podiatrist for specialised treatments.

👣Avoid Harsh Soaps: Use gentle, moisturising soaps and avoid hot water, which can strip natural oils from your skins.
