As summer ends, it is important to remember the extra toll being active and outdoors can take on feet. In autumn, the time of year where we strive to get back into our comfortable daily routine, add foot comfort to that list! Accessories such as interdigital spacers, hammer toe crests and callus pads all assist in taking away some of the pressure our feet are under, allowing individuals to fall back into their normal routine in comfort.

After a long summer of adventures, feet start to feel the effects. The increased rubbing and inflammation can affect day-to-day life. As foot care professionals, it’s important to point patients towards the best resources to counteract this pain. Items such as bunion shields, toe hammer crests, and extra padding can help increase comfort from the pressure we put on feet and allow our patients to continue adventuring into the fall with comfort.

After a summer of exploration, calluses often form. These areas of hardened skin can cause serious discomfort especially after an extended time being on one’s feet. Extra padding on the sole of the foot can help take the burden off these thickened parts of skin. Show your patient options like Dr. Jill's Callus Pads or PediFix Pedi-GEL Callus Pads.

The discomfort from bunions can be detrimental to one’s ability to resume their routine. As toes begin to drift inward, the increased pressure and friction placed on joints in the foot can discourage individuals to continue exploring. Don’t allow discomfort to follow your patients into their daily lives. Look for options from Pedicare! For easy washing, try Dr. Jill's Gel Bunion Pad or Pedifix Visco Gel Bunion Relief Sleeve.

A summer on curled toes can be very painful. The misplaced pressure from the shift away from the toes’ natural positioning can cause discomfort and have negative effects on people’s day-to-day lives. Products such as Pedifix Visco Gel Adjust-A-Loop Hammer Toe Crest or Pedifix FELTastic Hammer Toe Cushion may help relieve the extra pressure from curled toes, depending on the individual’s preference.

Pedicare offers a customizable toe padding product to ensure a perfect fit for any client: PediFix Pediplast Moldable Footcare Compound. The moldable aspect of this product allows patients to find their perfect tool the first time. The silicone compound remains durable through extended use but allows each foot care professional to mold the item to the shape of their client's foot. This moldable compound can take shape of the client’s needs, whether that's a callus pad, interdigital spacers, or a bunion shield.
