Spring has finally sprung, and it’s time to break free from those winter boots (ahhhh….FREEDOM!!!). If your feet have been a little neglected during the cold months, don’t worry—you can still give them the love they deserve just in time for thongs & barefoot season. With the days getting longer and the weather warming up, let’s dive into some fun and simple ways to get your feet back in action and ready to shine this spring! 🌸👣
What’s best is we have our popular Spring Promo Gift Packs running, as well as lots of special Spring Offers & Discounts! Keep an eye on our socials & the chalk board out the front, plus check your emails!!
1. Moisturise Like You Mean It ✨
Say goodbye to winter dryness and hello to soft, smooth feet! Daily moisturising is your ticket to avoiding painful cracks or that awkward sandpaper feel when summer’s heat kicks in. Our Podiatrists recommend using a cream with a bit of urea to work wonders on dry, cracked skin. We highly recommend Walker’s foot cream with 25% urea, available right here in the clinic! Plus we also have some Foot-A-Roo balm vouchers in our Spring Gift Packs. For the natural remedy lovers out there, coconut oil is your best friend.
Been rocking those closed-toe shoes for too long? Hard skin and corns might’ve snuck up on you, but don’t sweat it! Book in with us for a little TLC to remove that winter build-up. Trust us, your feet will look and feel fresh—and they’ll breathe easy, too.
2. Fight the Fungus 🍄
Ah, Melbourne’s unpredictable spring weather—one minute it’s sunshine, the next you’re wishing you had that extra layer. If your feet have been sweating it out in shoes all day throughout Winter, keep an eye out for pesky fungal infections. Been hitting the gym or indoor pool to stay warm over winter? Communal changing rooms are prime fungal real estate.
Check your nails for any changes in colour or thickness, and watch out for skin that’s red, flaky, or itchy. Don’t delay treatment! If you’re seeing no improvement, it’s time for a visit with our Podiatrists. For a more cosmetic fix (that also fights the problem), Keryflex nail restoration is an absolute game-changer. Get your nails looking fab while protecting them from further issues—win-win!
3. Choose Shoes That Fit Like a Dream 👟💫
Let’s talk shoes. You know, those trusty sneakers you’ve had since—wait, how long have you had them? Our feet are constantly changing, and your shoes need to keep up! Wearing old, worn-out shoes is a fast track to injury, so give your footwear a reality check. Try bending them in half; if they fold like a soft taco, it’s time to say goodbye. Bring your shoes to your appointment & the Podiatrist can assess.
Supportive shoes are a must for healthy feet and proper body alignment. Choose shoes that match your foot type, and while you’re at it, why not treat yourself to a spring shoe makeover? Your feet (and your posture) will thank you. We recommend Bared Footwear for everyday shoes – we have an online code voucher in our Spring Gift Packs! For thongs or slides, we sell & recommend Archies! If you still need a pair of Slippers for those random cold days or just to be cosy, we recommend & sell Archline Slippers!
4. Kick your old Injuries for good!🚫
Spring often brings a burst of energy, and suddenly we’re all out walking, jogging, and exploring. But if old injuries are holding you back, now’s the time to deal with them—before they become a major issue. Whether you’re ramping up your workouts or just enjoying a stroll in the park, addressing those nagging pains can save you a lot of trouble down the road.
We offer a range of treatments, from shockwave therapy to orthotic solutions and dry needling. Don’t wait for the pain to get worse—get it checked out so you can make the most of the sunny days ahead!
