🎾👟 Tennis Shoes vs. Pickleball Shoes: Does It Really Matter?
Yes—it matters more than you think for your feet, ankles, and knees.

At One Stop Foot & Ankle Care, we see many injuries caused by wearing the wrong court shoes. Here’s a quick breakdown 👇

🎾 Tennis Shoes
✔️ Built for side-to-side movement and quick pivots
✔️ Stronger lateral support to prevent ankle sprains
✔️ Reinforced toe box for sliding and toe dragging
✔️ Thicker outsole for longer rallies and hard stops

🏓 Pickleball Shoes
✔️ Lighter and more flexible for fast reaction play
✔️ Designed for short bursts and quick direction changes
✔️ Low-to-the-ground feel for better balance
✔️ Court-specific grip to reduce slipping

⚠️ Why it matters
Wearing running shoes—or the wrong court shoe—can lead to:
❌ Plantar fasciitis
❌ Achilles tendon pain
❌ Ankle sprains
❌ Knee and heel pain

👣 Pro tip from our podiatrists:
Always choose court-specific shoes and replace them once the outsole grip or lateral support breaks down.

📍Not sure which shoe is right for your feet or foot type?
We help athletes and active patients stay pain-free on and off the court.

❗ Why Toenail Fungus Keeps Coming Back (And How to Stop It for Good)

Toenail fungus isn’t just a one-time infection — it’s a chronic condition. That’s why so many patients feel frustrated when the nail looks better… and then months later, the fungus returns.

Here’s the truth 👇
Treatment alone is NOT enough. Prevention is the key.

⸻

🦠 Why Toenail Fungus Recurs

Fungus lives everywhere:
• Shoes 👟
• Socks 🧦
• Showers 🚿
• Nail tools ✂️
• Locker rooms & pools

Even after laser or medication clears the nail, fungal spores remain in your environment. Without a prevention plan, they reinfect the nail as it grows.

➡️ That’s why fungus often comes back 6–12 months later.

⸻

✅ Our Preventative Treatment Plan Works

At One Stop Foot And Ankle Care, we don’t just treat fungus — we stop it from returning.

Your personalized prevention plan may include:
✔️ Medical-grade topical antifungals
✔️ Shoe & sock decontamination guidance
✔️ Nail care education & hygiene protocols
✔️ Laser therapy maintenance schedules
✔️ Lifestyle modifications to reduce reinfection risk

This approach protects new nail growth, which is the ONLY way to achieve long-term success.

⸻

⚠️ What Happens If Prevention Is Skipped?

• Fungus slowly reinfects the nail
• Thick, discolored nails return
• Treatment must be repeated
• Time & money are wasted

💡 Toenails grow slowly — healthy results take months and must be protected.

⸻

🦶 Our Goal: Clear Nails That Stay Clear

We believe patients deserve lasting results, not temporary fixes.

If you’ve treated nail fungus before and it came back —
👉 you’re not failing, the plan was incomplete.

📍 Let us help you do it right.

Healthy nails start with treatment — but they stay healthy with prevention.

🏓 Pickleball Shoes: Your Feet’s Secret Weapon

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports—and we’re seeing more foot and ankle injuries from it than ever before. Why? Quick lateral movements + the wrong shoes can be a recipe for pain.

At One Stop Foot And Ankle Care, we want to keep you playing strong, pain-free, and injury-free. Here’s what to know 👇

⸻

👟 Why Pickleball-Specific Shoes Matter

Running shoes are made for forward motion. Pickleball is not.
Pickleball involves side-to-side cutting, sudden stops, pivots, and lunges—all of which demand the right support.

⸻

✅ What to Look for in Pickleball Shoes

✔ Strong lateral (side) support – helps prevent ankle sprains
✔ Low heel-to-toe drop – improves balance and court feel
✔ Non-marking court sole – better traction without sticking
✔ Firm heel counter – stabilizes the rear foot
✔ Adequate toe box room – prevents bunions, neuromas, and nail injuries

⸻

❌ Common Mistakes We See

🚫 Playing in running shoes
🚫 Wearing worn-out soles
🚫 Ignoring foot pain until it becomes an injury
🚫 No orthotic support for flat feet or high arches

⸻

🦶 How We Help Pickleball Players

At One Stop Foot And Ankle Care, we offer:
• Sports-specific foot evaluations
• Custom orthotics for court sports
• Treatment for plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, ankle sprains & stress injuries
• Shoe and brace recommendations tailored to your feet

⸻

🏆 Bottom Line

The right pickleball shoes don’t just improve performance — they protect your feet, ankles, and knees so you can stay on the court longer.

Nutrition for Healthy Feet 🦶🥗
Your feet carry you thousands of steps every day—what you eat plays a huge role in how well they function, heal, and stay pain-free. Here’s how to nourish your feet from the inside out.

🦴 Strong Bones & Joints
Calcium and vitamin D help maintain bone strength and reduce fracture risk.
✔️ Dairy, leafy greens, almonds
✔️ Sunlight, eggs, fortified foods

🔥 Fight Inflammation & Pain
Chronic foot pain, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and tendon issues are often linked to inflammation.
✔️ Omega-3s: salmon, sardines, walnuts
✔️ Spices: turmeric, ginger

🩸 Improve Circulation
Good blood flow is essential—especially for patients with diabetes or neuropathy.
✔️ Berries, citrus fruits, beets
✔️ Stay hydrated 💧

🧬 Support Tissue Repair & Healing
Skin, tendons, and ligaments rely on protein, vitamin C, and zinc to recover from stress and injury.
✔️ Lean meats, beans, eggs
✔️ Citrus, bell peppers, pumpkin seeds

🚫 What to Limit
Highly processed foods, excess sugar, and trans fats can worsen inflammation and slow healing.

Bottom line: Healthy feet start in the kitchen. Pair good nutrition with proper footwear and regular foot checkups to stay active and pain-free.
