Feet fit for summer SUMMER means warm weather, holidays and increased outdoor activities, which also means more time on your feet, often barefoot or in thongs or slipon shoes. This can take a toll on your feet and legs. So what can you do to look after your feet and legs this summer? Sports podiatrist Dr David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, has some helpful tips to look after your feet and legs this summer. He says varying your footwear will help, because thongs, slip-ons and high heels can have an adverse effect if worn too much. “Sandals with little or no heel are often a good option as the straps hold the shoe to your feet so your feet and toes don’t have to do all the work,” he says. Going barefoot outside is not a bad thing but it does significantly increase the risk of foot injury, such as stepping on foreign objects or hot surfaces “Keep bare feet to when you’re at home, on safe surfaces or relaxing,” Dr Kavanagh suggests. “Many people take long walks in summer, but doing this barefoot, in thongs or slip-ons can be stressful to your feet and legs if you don’t wear appropriate footwear for exercise.” Dr Kavanagh suggests using a 30+ SPF sunscreen all over your feet and to get foot and leg pain checked. “Using the latest medical research and treatments, an experienced sports podiatrist can assist most foot and leg pain quickly and effectively.”
