Summer’s here, and going barefoot feels amazing… but it can also put your feet at risk! At Merivale Podiatry, we see more foot injuries in the warmer months. Here are some common mishaps and tips to keep your feet safe:

1️⃣ Cuts & Grazes – Sharp shells, stones, or hidden objects can cause cuts.
Tip: Clean gently with Microdacyn Wound Wash, apply Betadine or Crystaderm, and cover with a sterile dressing.

2️⃣ Blisters – Friction from barefoot walks or sandals can lead to painful blisters.
Tip: Clean, cover with a Sterile Island Dressing, and use Engo Blister Patches to prevent new ones. Recurring or infected blisters? Book a podiatry appointment.

3️⃣ Burnt Soles – Hot sand or footpaths can burn quickly.
Tip: Cool under running water, avoid popping blisters, and protect with Spirulain Gel.

4️⃣ Sunburnt Feet – The Tops of feet are often forgotten!
Tip: Apply sunscreen before heading outdoors.

5️⃣ Insect Bites & Stings – Bare feet attract bites and stings.
Tip: Wash the area, use a cold compress and an antiseptic like Crystaderm. Avoid scratching.

Bonus: Keep feet clean on the go with Margaret Dabbs Foot Cleansing Wipes after a day barefoot.

Welcome

Merivale Podiatry is a small clinic in the heart of Merivale, Christchurch, dedicated to caring for your feet.

Merivale Podiatry is led by experienced podiatrist, Sophie Walls, who loves working with people from all walks of life. After running a highly successful podiatry clinic in Australia, Sophie returned to Christchurch to run Merivale Podiatry. Her infectious enthusiasm and professionalism are at the heart of the practice; there are no issues too big, too small, or too complicated for Sophie and our team. We pride ourselves on providing you with the best solutions for your lower limb and foot health every time.

As a member of the Resonance Podiatry Group, our podiatrists consult and collaborate with specialist podiatrists from around the country and have access to the most recent medical research and educational resources.

From warts to fungal infections, our podiatrists can treat any foot issue. Merivale Podiatry is also home to The Ingrown Toenail Clinic, the only clinic in Christchurch dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of ingrown toenails. We also specialise in Hiking and Walking and Cosmetic Nail Solutions.
