Fashion Meets Function: Trendy Orthopedic Shoes for 2024

Do orthopedic shoes have their place in fashion? The answer is yes! While there is no doubt orthopedic shoes are designed to treat foot conditions, it doesn’t exclude them from contemporary 2024 shoe trends. Let’s review the top choices for stylish orthopedic shoes this year!

Stylish Orthopedic Footwear 2024

Orthopedic shoes usually have specific features, such as:

That’s a lot to look for! And it’s a common misconception that these features look unappealing. The truth is, you can’t often see these features at first glance; orthopedic shoes do not have to look clunky. 

If you’re not sure where to look for comfortable and fashionable shoes, keep reading for some examples that offer the best of both worlds. The cherry on top? All of them are available at Feet First Clinic! 

Anodyne No. 27

Anodyne No. 27 

Anodyne shoes are designed to help treat diabetes-related foot problems and other musculoskeletal issues and deformities. The No. 27 is a simplistic white walking shoe that pairs perfectly with casual attire. Features include a rigid heel counter to help with instability, a protective toe box, a supportive sole, and more. It’s a comforting staple that keeps modern fashion trends in mind!

APEX Logan Chelsea Boot

The Logan Chelsea Boot from APEX offers a good amount of depth, and a removable EVA insole to boot (no pun intended!). The side zipper and lack of laces makes it easier for people with mobility challenges to get their feet in and out. This boot is also perfect for every season, from spring all the way to winter!

APEX LOGAN CHELSEA BOOT

Aetrex Men’s Milos And Women’s Jess

Aetrex is a cutting edge company offering trendy orthopedic shoes. The men’s Milos are an orthopaedic slide sandal that combines the comforting and supportive features you would typically find with a custom orthotic, with the breathability and stylish flair of a summer sandal. They’re super durable and have great arch support and cushioning thanks to UltraSky™ EVA technology.

Like the Milos, the Jess from Aetrex is another sandal offering the same top-of-the-line arch support and cushioning. The microfibre top cover adds a layer of softness and fights against cuts, scrapes and blisters. One minor difference is the easily adjustable ankle strap for extra ankle support.

NAOT Amadora

Looking for a fashion-forward sandal with a slight platform and fun design? The NAOT Amadora is a great finishing touch for your everyday summer dresses, skirts, and more! The hook and loop strap with full upper coverage is great for those who prefer a more secure feel to their sandals. The removable, anatomic cork and latex footbed conforms to the natural shape of your foot as it moves, offering maximum comfort! The best part: the footbed is removeable so you can wear them with your custom orthotics!

Best Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a real nuisance, and it's also incredibly common. Luckily, plenty of shoe manufacturers design their footwear with this foot condition in mind. Knowing this, Feet First Clinic created a list of the best shoes for plantar fasciitis! Before we dive into our list of supportive shoes, let's get the basics out the way and explain what type of footwear people with plantar fasciitis need. What is Plantar Fasciitis?  Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of fibrous tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. The most common symptom is heel pain. Specifically, it may present as a "stabbing" feeling that can worsen in the morning and ease up as the day continues. Arch pain can also be a symptom of plantar fasciitis.  Best Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis People with plantar fasciitis generally need a stability shoe. These running and walking shoes help support the arch of the foot and control overpronation (when the feet roll excessively inward). Stability shoes are also more rigid than neutral ones since they control excessive motion. Furthermore, arch support is the most important thing to look for when you have plantar fasciitis. The foot's arch is located in the centre of the plantar fascia tendon, so it's the most vulnerable to inflammation, which exacerbates foot pain and heel pain. Overpronation can also aggravate plantar fasciitis since weight constantly shifts from the heels to the toes. 4 Best Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis ASICS Gel-Kayano Saucony Omni ASICS Gel-Nimbus APEX X-Last Walking Shoe ASICS Gel-Kayano Which Asics Are Best? Asics Offers Stability, Cushioning, Medical Benefits for Plantar Fasciitis Known for being one of the best stability shoes from ASICS, the Gel-Kayano has the most stability and cushioning from their series of running shoes. The Gel-Kayano is the right choice for people who experience moderate or severe overpronation and need maximum cushioning and arch support. It accomplishes this with its TRUSSTIC™ and DYNAMIC DUOMAX® technologies: The TRUSSTIC technology involves a resin structure (a medial post) in the midsole of the shoe that prevents the excessive twisting motion associated with overpronation. The DYNAMIC DUOMAX technology involves a firm sponge in the midsole that helps control and offset the inward rolling of the heel and foot.  This ultra-soft cushioning is thanks to ASICS classic GEL® technology, which also helps with shock absorption. Furthermore, the external heel counter cradles the foot and adds extra support to the heel, helping manage the heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis. Saucony Omni The Omni from Saucony also provides great plantar fasciitis support. Despite being a rigid stability shoe, it also offers a good amount of bounce, letting runners propel forward. This is thanks to the springy PWRRUN cushioning technology. The redesigned internal heel counter and extended medial post support are responsible for plantar fasciitis management. The heel counter guides your steps and helps promote a normal gait while managing overpronation. Furthermore, the medial post support adjusts to the body's natural alignment with added control. ASICS Gel-Nimbus Some neutral shoes offer enough features to accommodate plantar fasciitis. Neutral running and walking shoes are for people with a normal walking gait. However, this neutral shoe from ASICS has some characteristics that often come with stability shoes, such as a specially engineered external heel counter and ASICS' TRUSSTIC technology. The Gel-Nimbus features cushioning in the back and front with additional support towards the inside of the arch. The FLYTEFOAM™ midsole cushioning also helps absorb shock with every step. The newest version of the Nimbus is also ten times more lightweight than its predecessors without losing its stability and structure. APEX X-Last Walking Shoe The X-Last Walking Shoe from APEX is a motion control shoe, also known as an enhanced version of a stability shoe. They are meant to support weight, accommodate flat feet and manage extreme overpronation. They are more rigid than stability shoes, and provide excellent support for the feet and ankles. While motion control shoes are sometimes on the heavy side, the APEX X-Last Walking Shoe is light as a feather (in fact, it's lighter than most running shoes!) This shoe's heel cup, arch support, and pronation control features make it an excellent choice for people with plantar fasciitis. Specifically, the APEX X-Last Walking shoe includes a moulded external heel counter that extends from the heel to the arch.

Gout and Dietary Health: What to Eat to Manage Flare-Ups
Gout is one of the most painful foot conditions and types of arthritis. It also has a deep connection to the foods and drinks you consume on a regular basis. The benefits of good nutrition are two-fold: they can help with gout prevention and manage your flair ups. Let’s look at the science behind a gout diet, what to avoid, and what delicious and nutritious foods you can add to your daily menu.  Gout and Dietary Health: What to Avoid  Gout management and prevention through diet mainly involves avoiding purine.  This is a chemical compound found in food and drink. It leads to high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) that then form the crystals around the joints that trigger inflammation and ultimately result in the onset of a gout attack. Arthritis-Health tells us there is no way to fully avoid purine since it is found in the cells of virtually everything we consume. But you can maintain a low-purine diet by avoiding foods and drinks with high levels.  One of the main culprits is alcohol. Not only does it contain a lot of purine, but it can prevent your body from metabolizing and eliminating uric acid. Beer has the most purine compared to spirits and wine. However, fortified wine, stouts and ports are also high in purine.  Other drinks to sip sparingly include high-sugar juices and sodas — there is a lot of purine in high-fructose corn syrup!  When it comes to food, seafood like sardines, anchovies and shellfish are full of purine, as are red meats, organ meats and processed meats like hot dogs, salami, etc. Of course, everything in moderation is key, but these proteins should be avoided when you have other alternatives. The Best Gout-Friendly Foods The word "diet" can be frustrating because it represents restriction. But sometimes for our health, we have to do what's best for us. This is the case for a gout diet. Remember, the lifestyle changes you make to control this condition don’t mean that you can’t enjoy delicious foods. Here is a list of just some of the nutrient-dense and low purine foods you can have:  Eggs Nuts and legumes Fresh fruit with natural sugars. Be careful of preserves, packaged, or canned fruits as they often sneak in high-fructose corn syrup.  Tomatoes Poultry Salmon  Leafy greens Popcorn Whole grains Low-sugar desserts When planning your new menu, you may be surprised to see a lot of healthy foods, like mushrooms, asparagus and cauliflower, have moderate purine levels. It’s okay to eat them on occasion. Click here to learn what foods are great for general foot health; just be sure to double check purine levels.

Comfortable Heels and Wedges for Wedding Season
Foot-friendly shoes and comfortable heels as wedding guest footwear? Who knew there could be such a thing! Say goodbye to the days where you have to switch shoes halfway through the wedding reception and say hello to stylish comfort shoes, pain-free heels and podiatrist-approved footwear. Today’s article will guide you towards discovering brands that make comfortable wedges and heels for when you want to attend an exciting summer wedding, but don’t want to deal with dreaded foot pain!  Brands That Make Comfortable Wedding Season Footwear Check out some foot clinic recommendations for wedding guests, bridal parties and bridal shoes! These brands are available at Feet First Clinic - your favourite local Toronto one-stop-shop for all things foot health!  Ara Ara combines the perfect fit with sleek style, making the ideal shoe. They have plenty of pumps, sandals, and other shoes with a short-to-moderate heel height that will help you maintain your balance and stability at the wedding, in addition to preventing nagging foot pain. They use the same comforting shoe technologies and materials as their walking shoes.  NAOT NAOT is another ideal choice for comfortable heels and wedges. Whether you're walking down the aisle or dancing the night away, you'll find a good combination of fashion and comfort with their sandals, booties and other shoes. If you're more into fun shoe designs and prefer a short heel with minimal elevation, they might be a good choice for you. The NAOT Pixie might be a good choice for a wedding guest who wants a very short heel that still has some elevation. Clarks Clarks has always been innovative in shoemaking, introducing technologies that make you feel like you’re stepping on a cloud. This also applies to their chunky wedges, heeled sandals, boots, booties, and more — all perfect for summer weddings! Emphasizing proper fit and comfort with cushioned insoles and ergonomic designs and high-quality materials such as soft leathers, Clarks ensures that every pair minimizes foot pain as much as possible.  Give our Toronto foot clinic a call for the most up-to-date shoes from Ara, NAOT and Clarks in stock! You can also stop by our Bloor West location for a shoe fitting.  A Final Note on Heels and Wedding Season in 2024 It’s tough to find the right balance between high heels and foot health. We recommend avoiding them if you have certain foot conditions like severe bunions, hammertoes, joint pain caused by arthritis, amongst others. But then again, if you like heeled shoes, there should be a way to stay true to yourself, especially for a special occasion. Look for:  Wide-toed shoes: Opt for heeled shoes with a wide and deep toe box. Low heels: Select heels that are no higher than 2 inches to reduce strain.  Soft materials: Look for shoes made from soft, flexible materials like leather or suede that can stretch and conform to the foot shape. Cushioned and removable Insoles: Shoes with cushioned insoles can provide extra comfort. Removing them and inserting your own custom orthotics or insoles for your foot type is also a wise move.  Remember: if your shoes exacerbate your condition, don’t wear them, even if you’ve followed these guidelines. Walking shoes and orthopedic shoes can look lovely at a wedding too! Many brides wear them to add a fun, casual spin to their wedding look. Check out this blog on balancing elegance with foot health for even more tips on selecting the right wedding shoes this summer.

What’s a Cheilectomy?
Did you know that the joint at the base of our big toe bears about 40% of our bodyweight when we move? It plays a significant role when we walk and run, and because of the weight it bears (literally), it's prone to arthritis. This condition is called hallux rigidus (often referred to as "stiff big toe") and it causes the joint to lose its range of motion. While a "stiff joint" may seem small, it actually can significantly alter our biomechanics and can cause pain and difficulty walking and running. While non-surgical treatments such as medication, orthotics, and physical therapy can help in the early stages, more severe cases may require surgical intervention. One such surgical procedure to treat hallux rigidus is a cheilectomy. This article will explore what a cheilectomy is, its benefits, risks, and the recovery process. What is a cheilectomy A side-by-side of two feet: on the left is the post-surgical foot with a surgical shoe. On the right is the equivalent surgical reference for where the surgery is done and the incision size. A cheilectomy is a surgical procedure that alleviates pain and restores motion in the big toe joint affected by hallux rigidus. This procedure removes bone spurs (osteophytes) and diseased tissue from the top of the metatarsal bone, which reduces pain and allows the joint to move more freely. Cheilectomy: The procedure A cheilectomy is usually done under local or general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision over the top of the affected joint and then carefully removes the excess bone and tissue and smooths the joint surface. This frees up more space for joint movement. In some cases, the surgeon may do additional procedures, such as joint capsule release or cartilage repair, to improve the outcome. Cheilectomy: The benefits An aerial view of a bone spur above the first MTP joint (left foot, right of image). Pain relief: A cheilectomy can significantly reduce pain and discomfort associated with hallux rigidus by eliminating bone spurs and diseased tissue. Improved motion: The procedure frees up space around the big toe joint, which gives it more room to move around and restores the toe's flexibility and range of motion. This makes walking, running, and other activities more comfortable. Preservation of joint function: Unlike more invasive procedures like joint fusion, a cheilectomy aims to preserve the natural mechanics of the big toe joint, which helps maintain its function and stability. The same foot with the bone spur above the first MTP joint removed. Cheilectomy: Risks and considerations While cheilectomy is generally considered safe and effective, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks. These include infection, bleeding and nerve damage. There are also many factors that can affect the outcome, such as the severity of the condition, age, and the patient's overall foot health. If you're considering a cheilectomy, it's important to discuss the risks and the benefits with your healthcare provider so that you can manage your expectations properly assess with a cheilectomy is right for you. Cheilectomy: What's the recovery? Following a cheilectomy, it's normal to experience discomfort and swelling. You can manage this with pain medication and elevation. You'll also need to do physiotherapy during the recovery process to restore the strength and flexibility in the toe joint. Most patients are fully weight-bearing immediately after the surgery, and can usually return to light activities within a few weeks; however full recovery takes several months. Stitches are typically removed 2 weeks after the procedure. It's important to follow post-operative instructions from the surgeon and to attend routine follow-up appointments to monitor the progress.

Toenail Thickening: Why it Happens as We Age
Our feet and toes change in various ways as we age. One of these changes is toenail thickening. For some of us, toenail thickening can be more than just a minor inconvenience. It can make it difficult to cut and maintain our toenails, and can even cause pain and discomfort. In this article, we'll explain the causes of thickened toenails, and some possible treatments. Why Do Toenails Thicken with Age? Nails are made from a protein called keratin, which is produced at the nail plate at the base of the nail. Nail growth happens when nail cells multiply within the base of the nail and are pushed forward. However, as we age, the growth rate slows down, so the nail cells just pile up on top of each other, which causes them to get increasingly thicker. Age-related toenail thickening is often a result of several factors: Reduced blood circulation The most common cause of age-related toenail thickening is decreased blood circulation to our feet, which often occurs as we age. This diminished circulation means fewer nutrients and oxygen reach the toenails, causing them to thicken over time. Natural wear and tear Years of use can damage our toenails. Factors such as ill-fitting shoes, repetitive stress from activities like running or walking, and even minor trauma can contribute to thickening. Essentially, when our toenails experience trauma, they thicken to protect themselves. Fungal infections Older individuals are more prone to fungal infections of the toenails, which can cause thickening, discoloration, and brittleness. These infections often thrive in warm, moist environments like sweaty shoes or communal areas. Underlying health conditions Medical conditions like psoriasis, diabetes, and peripheral arterial disease can also influence toenail health. These conditions affect circulation, which in turn slows toenail growth and causes toenails to thicken. Tips for toenail care as you age As you age, proactive steps can be taken to maintain healthy toenails and minimize thickening. By following these tips, you can feel more in control of your foot health and well-being. Regular trimming Toenail thickening can make trimming and maintaining your toenails extremely difficult. Fortunately, a licensed chiropodist is trained to specifically deal with this. A licensed chiropodist can ensure your toenails are trimmed properly to prevent ingrown toenails, promote healthy toenail growth and reduce thickening. A licensed chiropodist can also use special tools over the toenail to thin it out, which will make the toenail easier to cut and maintain. Best of all, this is all done in a sterilized environment, so you don't need to worry about fungal infections (did you know 52% of people get fungal infections after visiting nail salons?) If you decide to trim your toenails at home, make sure you invest in quality toenail clippers and avoid cutting them too short. Proper foot hygiene Wash your feet daily with soap and water, ensuring they dry thoroughly, especially between the toes. Also, wear flip flops in public spaces to avoid contracting fungal infections. Comfortable footwear Choose shoes that fit well and provide adequate support. Avoid narrow or tight shoes that can put pressure the toenails and contribute to thickening. Moisturize regularly Apply moisturizer to your feet to keep the skin and nails hydrated. This can prevent cracking and thickening of the toenails, especially in dry climates. Foot protection Wear protective footwear in risky environments like communal areas or outdoors. This can help prevent injury and reduce the risk of fungal infections. Manage underlying conditions If you have underlying health issues like diabetes, it's important to remember that they can be effectively managed. By working closely with your healthcare provider, you can improve foot circulation and reduce the risk of complications like toenail thickening.

Summer Sandal Guide: Choosing the Best for Your Feet
As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, it's time to ditch the closed-toe shoes and slide into something more comfortable and breathable. Yes, it's sandal season! But with so many options available, how do you choose the best sandals for your summer adventures? We've got you covered. In this guide, we'll explore the essential features to look for in summer sandals and introduce you to some top picks that seamlessly blend style with comfort. Cork footbed One key feature to consider when selecting summer sandals is the footbed material. Cork footbeds are famous for their ability to mould to the shape of your foot over time, providing personalized support and cushioning. Additionally, cork is lightweight and absorbs shock, making it an excellent option for all-day wear. Whether strolling along the boardwalk or exploring a new city, sandals with cork footbeds ensure your feet stay comfortable and supported. Arch support Arch support is essential, especially if you plan on wearing your sandals for extended periods. It distributes weight across your feet, reducing strain and preventing discomfort. A lack of arch and forefoot support can lead to foot problems like plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia. Look for sandals with arch support or removable insoles. You can customize the level of support to your liking. Your feet will thank you after a long day of sightseeing or outdoor activities. Backstraps for support While slip-on sandals are convenient, they may provide a different level of support and stability than those with backstraps. Backstraps help secure the sandals to your feet, preventing them from slipping and sliding with each step. Added stability is particularly beneficial if you plan to engage in more active pursuits or tend to pronate or supinate. Backstraps come in various styles, from adjustable buckles to elasticized bands, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your feet. Our top picks Now that we've covered the essential features to look for in summer sandals let's introduce you to some top picks that effortlessly combine style with comfort. NAOT Cornet and NAOT Castelo Best for cork footbeds With their contoured cork footbeds and adjustable backstraps, NAOT sandals offer exceptional comfort and support. The NAOT Cornet and NAOT Castelo styles feature chic designs that transition seamlessly from day to night. Mephisto Hester and Mephisto Hetty Best for cork footbeds Mephisto sandals are renowned for their superior craftsmanship and comfort technology. The Mephisto Hester and Mephisto Hetty models boast cushioned footbeds with arch support and durable backstraps for added stability. Aetrex Jess Best for arch support The Aetrex Jess sandals feature a built-in Lynco orthotic footbed for maximum support and alignment. The adjustable backstrap ensures a secure fit, making them ideal for all-day wear. NAOT Enid and NAOT Amadora Best for backstrap support NAOT offers a range of stylish sandals with cork footbeds and backstrap designs. The NAOT Enid and NAOT Amadora are built with quality and comfort in mind. The three variations three are perfect for summer adventures. Mephisto Norine Best for backstrap support The Mephisto Norrine sandals combine elegance with functionality. Featuring Soft-Air technology and adjustable straps, they provide unparalleled comfort and support for any occasion.
