Blisters on the feet develop when repeated friction or pressure causes the outer layer of skin to separate from the underlying layers, allowing fluid to collect in the space between. This clear fluid cushions the damaged tissue and protects it as it heals. Wearing shoes that are too tight or lack ad...

Plantar fasciitis is the leading cause of heel pain. It occurs when the strong band of tissue along the bottom of the foot, called the plantar fascia, becomes irritated at its attachment to the heel bone. This fascia helps support the arch and absorbs stress during walking, running, or standing. Whe...

Dry, Cracked Heels This Fall? Here’s Help

Cooler weather often brings dry, cracked heels — and they’re more than just a cosmetic problem.

As temperatures drop, skin loses moisture faster. For some people, this leads to painful cracks (fissures) that can bleed, get infected, or make walking uncomfortable.

Here are 3 ways to prevent cracked heels this season:

Apply a moisturizer to your feet daily, especially after bathing.
Wear socks made of breathable fabrics to lock in hydration.
Don’t ignore thick, hard skin — regular care can prevent painful fissures.
If cracks are painful, deep, or not healing, it’s important to get checked. Proper treatment can relieve discomfort and stop infection before it starts.

November Is Diabetes Awareness Month — Don’t Forget Your Feet

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month — and it’s the perfect time to focus on foot health.

If you or a loved one has diabetes, even a small cut or sore on the foot can lead to serious complications. That’s why daily care and regular checkups are so important.

3 simple ways to protect your feet if you have diabetes:

Check your feet every day for redness, swelling, or small cuts.
Wear shoes that fit well and protect against pressure or rubbing.
Schedule a yearly foot exam to catch issues before they become serious.
Good foot care can prevent infections, ulcers, and even hospital visits. Don’t wait until there’s a problem — prevention is the best protection.

Walking Miles on Halloween? Read This First

Walking miles on Halloween night can leave your feet aching — unless you plan ahead.

Between trick-or-treating, fall festivals, and long nights in costume shoes, it’s easy to end up with sore or blistered feet.

Here are a few quick tips to keep feet safe this Halloween:

Choose supportive sneakers over flimsy costume shoes.
Use moisture-wicking socks to prevent blisters.
Check kids’ feet afterward for redness or sore spots.
Add cushioned insoles if you’ll be walking long distances.
If you notice pain that lingers after the holiday, don’t ignore it. The sooner it’s treated, the sooner you’ll be back to enjoying the season.

The good news: plantar fasciitis is very treatable, especially when addressed early.

Custom orthotics or inserts to reduce strain
Simple stretching routines to ease tightness
Advanced therapies when pain doesn’t improve

Why can some women wear heels daily without foot problems — while others develop bunions or hammertoes so easily?

The truth is: it’s not just the shoes.

Genetics play a big role. If bunions run in your family, you may be at higher risk no matter what shoes you wear.
Shoes can make things worse. High heels and narrow toe boxes put extra pressure on the big toe joint and smaller toes.
Foot shape matters. Inherited structures can naturally place more stress on the toes, making bunions and hammertoes more likely.
Prevention is possible. Supportive footwear, custom inserts, and early care can slow progression and reduce pain.
So while shoes matter, the bigger picture is heredity + mechanics. If you notice changes in your toes, don’t wait until it’s painful — early treatment makes a big difference.
