👣 Quick Tip Wednesday

If your feet feel stiff when you first stand up in the morning…

Before you take your first steps:
👉 Slowly rotate your ankles clockwise 10 times
👉 Then counter-clockwise 10 times

This wakes up the joints, improves circulation, and can reduce that sharp “first step” pain.

Small habit. Big difference.

🍕 Happy National Pizza Day! 👣

Whether you're team thin crust, deep dish, or extra-cheesy everything… today is a good day.

But here’s a quick foot fact:
Standing in the kitchen, waiting at the pizzeria, or pacing during delivery tracking can put more strain on your feet than the workout you planned to do today.

👉 Swap the flimsy house slippers for supportive shoes or sandals while cooking — your arches will thank you later.

Enjoy the pizza… just don’t let your feet pay the price!

🏔️ Olympic-Level Balance Starts at Your Feet! 🦶

Did you catch our email about the 2026 Winter Olympics this week? While we may not all be training for gold, strong feet and good balance help you move with confidence every day — whether you’re walking the dog, shopping, or just getting around the house.

Quick Tip:

Try this simple daily balance exercise:

Stand near a chair or counter for support and balance on one foot for 20–30 seconds. Switch sides. Repeat twice.

Even if you have to hold onto something at first or can’t make it the full 30 seconds, just the effort of performing the exercise to the best of your ability can help improve your balance over time.

📏 It’s Measure Your Feet Day!

Did you know your foot size can change over time? Age, weight changes, and even activity level can affect the length and width of your feet!

Today’s tip:

✔️ Measure both feet (one is often bigger!)
✔️ Try shoes on later in the day when feet are slightly swollen
✔️ Make sure there’s a thumb’s width of space at the toe

Happy stepping into the right fit! 🦶✨

👟 Why Do Shoes Smell? (And How to Stop It!)

Ever kick off your shoes and immediately regret it? 😅 That odor usually comes from sweat mixing with bacteria inside your shoes.

Quick fixes to keep things fresh:

✔️ Let shoes air out overnight
✔️ Rotate pairs so they can fully dry
✔️ Wear moisture-wicking socks
✔️ Sprinkle a little baking soda inside (shake out in the morning!)

Your feet — and everyone around you — will thank you! 🦶✨
