Summer Foot Care: Keeping Your Feet Happy in Hot Weather

Summertime means storing those winter boots and slipping into your favourite warm-weather footwear. But before you hit the beach or embark on a summer hike, remember that giving your feet the care they deserve is not just essential; it’s the key to thoroughly enjoying all your summer adventures — whether at the beach, pool or outside exercising! Your feet are your foundation for summer fun, so let’s ensure they’re in top shape with proper summer foot care. 

Here are some simple yet effective tips to keep your feet happy and healthy during the hot months ahead. These easy-to-follow tips can significantly impact your foot health, giving you the confidence to easily step into summer.

1. Keep your feet and yourself hydrated

Like the rest of your body, your feet need hydration. Ensure you drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, reducing the risk of dry, cracked skin on your feet. Additionally, apply a hydrating lotion or cream to your feet every day to keep them soft and supple.

2. Choose breathable footwear

Sandals or breathable shoes encourage air circulation and prevent feet from overheating. Avoid plastic or synthetic materials that trap moisture and produce sweaty, smelly feet.

3. Protect your feet from the sun

Apply sunscreen to your feet, particularly when exposed to the sun for extended periods. Like the rest of your body, your feet’s skin is susceptible to sunburn. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher before heading outdoors. Consider re-applying every two hours and more regularly if swimming or sweating. See the Canadian Dermatology Association’s list of products that adhere to their standards.

4. Keep your feet clean and dry

Summer heat can increase the risk of fungal infections like athlete’s foot. To prevent this, wash your feet daily with soap and water. Then, dry thoroughly, especially between the toes. Use a foot powder to absorb moisture, reducing the risk of fungal growth.

5. Trim your toenails (properly)

Untrimmed toenails can lead to discomfort and increase the risk of ingrown toenails, especially during summer activities. Trim your toenails straight across. Avoid cutting them too short, and file any rough edges to keep them smooth. Doing so can help prevent ingrown toenails.

6. Give your feet a break

Summer is the perfect time to kick off your shoes and let your feet breathe. Take a moment to walk barefoot on the soft grass or sand to strengthen your foot muscles improve circulation and reconnect with nature. Just be mindful of your surroundings to avoid any injuries or stepping on sharp objects.

7. Stay active this summer with the proper footwear

Whether going for a hike or a run, wearing the right shoes for the activity is important. Proper footwear provides support and cushioning to reduce the risk of foot pain or injury, so invest in a good pair of athletic shoes that fit well and suit your chosen activity.

8. Treat your feet to a relaxing soak

After a long summer of fun, treat your feet to a soothing foot soak to relax tired muscles and rejuvenate your skin. Fill a bath or basin with warm water. Then, add Epsom salt or a few drops of essential oils (like lavender or peppermint) for an extra touch of luxury.

9. Pay attention to warning signs

If you experience persistent foot pain, swelling, or any worrisome symptoms, don’t ignore them. These could be signs of a foot condition or injury requiring medical attention. Consult a chiropodist or healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

10. Practice good foot care year-round

Finally, remember that foot care is not just for summer. Make it a habit to take care of your feet year-round by wearing comfortable, supportive shoes, maintaining good foot hygiene, and promptly addressing foot issues.

By following these tried-and-tested tips for summer foot care, you can keep your feet happy, healthy, and ready for all the season’s adventures. These tips have been proven to work, so you can trust that your feet are in good hands. So go ahead, put your best foot forward, and confidently enjoy everything summer has in store!

6 Summer Foot Problems and How to Treat Them
When summer hits the city, many people don't have a care in the world! It's a time to shed the stress from the long winter and be carefree outside. That said, it's important to check on your feet as often as you can, as there are a few summer foot problems that can cast a dark cloud on your sunny days. Below, we'll discuss the following 6 summer foot problems and how you can treat them: Swollen Feet Sweaty Feet Blisters Warts Cracked Skin Infections Swollen Feet Here's a confusing scenario: it's time to rock your favourite summer sneakers and sandals, but they don't fit? While perplexing, there could be a simple cause. The summer temperatures in Toronto can be pretty sweltering. As a result, your blood vessels dilate when your body attempts to cool itself. This causes a chain reaction that leads to more swelling than you normally experience. While your body attempts to accommodate and move blood back towards your heart, fluids also accumulate, moving downward and trickling into the body's tissues. This is known as heat edema. If your swollen feet are due to the blistering heat, there are several things you can do to manage and prevent swelling in the future! Learn How to Manage Swollen Feet Sweaty Feet Having sweaty feet in the summertime is a given, but it's important to do your best to control it. Not only is it annoying on its own, but sweat and dampness are major contributors to other summer foot problems. These include blisters, fungal infections and persistently itchy skin. Did you know that a wide array of products exist specifically for sweaty feet? From several types of deodorants to moisture-wicking socks, your solution is out there.  How to Tackle Sweaty Feet Blisters Blisters in the summertime are no stranger to most of us. Sweat accumulation can clog the pores in your feet, making them more damp and vulnerable to blisters. Additionally, many people excitedly ditch their socks in the summer. While that's to be expected with sandals, to avoid blisters, you should still wear socks with sneakers, trainers and runners -- even when it's hot. Thin, unsupportive flip-flops and walking for long hours in the beautiful weather are also a recipe for blister formation. Supportive sandals are a much better option and come with the breathability and simplicity you're looking for. As we've mentioned, high-quality footwear is a major way to prevent these painful nuisances. There are also other services and products that can help you walk without blister pain. Treatment and Prevention For Blisters Warts Plantar warts are another common summer foot problem. Summer activities like swimming and hanging out at the beach often involves going barefoot. However, walking barefoot in public places puts our feet at risk of contracting the human papilomavirus (HPV) that causes warts. The highly contagious HPV thrives in our favourite summers spots. Swimming pools (especially the pool deck), public bathrooms at the beach, showers and locker rooms are just a handful of the riskiest areas. The best way to prevent yourself from getting warts is to wear sandals or water shoes in public places where people often go barefoot. This will keep your feet from coming into contact with the virus. If you do get plantar warts and don't tend to them, complications like bleeding, severe pain, infection, and difficulties walking can ruin your summer. So be sure to take care of the problem right away!  How to Treat and Prevent Plantar Warts Cracked Skin Dry skin isn't just a winter problem! Your feet can become cracked and dry when it's hot outside too. Whereas winter dries our feet out with hot water and blasting heat, summer dries out our feet because of how often we expose them. Thong sandals and flip flops without much coverage leave your feet more susceptible to drying out from walking on the sandy beach and hot pavement. Furthermore, you're more likely to become dehydrated in the summer and forget to hydrate when you're out and about. If you don't drink enough water, the skin can lose moisture and start to dry out.   While there's not much you can do about the heat and elements, there are many ways you can keep your feet as smooth as possible. What to Do About Dry Skin and Cracked Heels Infections Fungal Infections The most popular summer spaces are a breeding ground for fungal infections like fungal toenails and athlete's foot. Fungi like dermatophytes thrive in moist, warm environments and are super easy to contract, targeting our skin and toenails. They can also spread between person-to-person with direct skin contact. Like HPV and plantar warts, these infections are more common in the summer as Torontonians frequent public pools, changing rooms, bathrooms, showers, etc. Fungal infections can become chronic if you don't pay serious attention to them. Athlete's foot and toenail fungus, in particular, are notorious for coming back time and time again. It's best to treat these nagging infections and do your best to prevent them in the future! How to Avoid Athlete's Foot Toenail Fungus Services Skin Infections Skin infections are another common summer foot problem. Our feet are more exposed during the summer from wearing sandals or walking barefoot. That increases the likelihood of cuts and scrapes. And since we don't cover our feet up in hot weather, open wounds remain exposed, which can lead to skin infections. Not only can an infected wound be irritating, but it can also lead to severe complications if you have diabetes. Accidents happen, so there's not too much we can do to prevent cuts and scrapes (save for not walking barefoot on broken glass). So, if you do happen to cut your foot, put a bandage over it until the wound closes up. And if you have diabetes, you should avoid open-toe shoes all together.

Summer Sports 2024: Foot Care for Athletes
Top-notch athletic foot health is key, especially when summer rolls around. Your activity level changes in the summer when you start spending more time outdoors pounding the pavement in the sun. To make sure your feet don't hold you back from your summer plans, here are our top summer sports foot care tips for healthy feet. Preventing Summer Sports Injuries in Athletes When it comes to foot care and sports, the right footwear and healthy exercises/stretches are always a winning combo. Below you’ll find the most common strain-related summer sports injuries and what you can do to stay on your feet! Achilles Tendonitis Avoid straining the Achilles tendon by gradually increasing activity intensity. For example, run shorter distances while working your way up to longer journeys.  Stretch the calf muscles / Achilles tendon every day. Try the calf exercises in this article. Also make sure you stretch your soleus muscle too! Wear runners with an elevated heel, turned-up toe and rocker soles. (Learn more about rocker soles here.) Ankle Sprains Wear athletic shoes with stong ankle support while playing sports like basketball and volleyball. Shoes with wider soles can help too. If you’re prone to sprains or tend to overpronate when you walk, try stability shoes.  Strengthen your ankles with these exercises.  Stress Fractures Stability and motion control shoes with a more rigid design and thick soles are good for runners who may be prone to stress fractures.  Gradually increase activity intensity to avoid hurting yourself, especially if you have been on hiatus!  To avoid stress fractures while strength training or weight lifting, wear a shoe with a wider toe box, a hard/thick sole and a minimum level of cushioning. Plantar Fasciitis Wear the best shoes for plantar fasciitis. These tend to be stability shoes, but neutral can also work. The key thing is to look for shoes with sufficient arch support. Perform strengthening and preventative stretches that target the plantar fascia. These include calf stretches, towel stretches, and more that you can find here.   Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) Prevent knee pain by strength training, paying close attention to the quadriceps and hip muscles.  Avoid shoes with a raised heel, as they can place too much pressure on the knee joint.  There should be a medium amount of cushioning in shoes; too much can cause knee instability.  Foot Care Tips for Preventing All Injuries Footwear should always be well-fitted and supportive, regardless of what injury you're trying to prevent.  Certain features can help defend against specific injuries, but shoes must always fit properly, leaving enough room for the foot to position itself and for the toes to spread. Shoes must also always have some level cushioning and support. Lightweight shoes tend to be beneficial for athletes when competing so they can propel forward more effortlessly. Additionally, athletes should always wear running shoes with good shock absorption; it acts as a barrier between your joints and the impact from the ground.  You can also boost your protection with custom orthotics or Superfeet insoles. These offer extra support for your feet and joints. Preventing Skin Conditions in Athletes One of the most infamous skin issues athletes face in the summertime are blisters. Running outside in the hot sun can cause increased friction and moisture buildup in your shoe environment. Even though most blisters go away on their own, competitive runners and racers can sometimes face serious blister complications like intense pain, sepsis, and cellulitis.  Ensure your footwear fits well so your skin isn’t rubbing harshly against your shoes. To tackle the moisture problem, try sweat-wicking socks and foot deodorants, which come as sprays, powders and creams (these can also help with foot odour and athlete's foot prevention). Medical devices like custom orthotics, insoles and blister pads can also help place feet in the best position for preventing blisters.

Pedicure Safety: Tips for Healthy Summer Feet 2024
Summer foot care and pedicures - can you name a more iconic duo? Showing off a sleek pedi is one of the best ways to enjoy the warm months. But safe pedicures differ greatly from your run-of-the-mill cosmetic pedicure, so it’s important to be on the lookout for the safest way of avoiding pedicure infections. We’ve got 3 pedicure safety tips you should follow before you hit the salon! Top 3 Pedicure Safety Tips Choose clean salons or foot clinics Avoid certain tools Practice aftercare Choose Clean Salons or Foot Clinics Only visit nail salons that demonstrate good practices. Be on the lookout for: An organized workspace. Equipment sanitization protocols. An autoclave with steam sterilization is best. Employees visibly maintaining hygienic standards. Employees using disposable liners in the foot baths, and cleaning and filtering them between uses. Fresh linens (if applicable). Clean floors and surfaces. Clean uniforms on employees. Clear labels on products. Clients wearing protective footwear when walking around. Another good tip is visiting your nail salon when they first open in the morning, when everything is cleanest!  Pedicures at Feet First Clinic Foot clinics are where you can get a medical pedicure, which tends to be safer than a cosmetic pedicure.  Appointments don’t happen in communal areas, unlike salons, so you’re already in a safer environment with less people spreading contagious fungal infections. And although you’ll be skipping the polish (you can always apply it yourself afterwards!) and foot bath (again, you can do this at home - foot baths at nail salons are not hygienic, especially if the bath has jets), you’ll be enjoying so much more than you can get from many salons. This includes:  Guaranteed use of sterilized, safe tools. A thorough cleaning of the entire foot with alcohol. An inspection of your feet from a chiropodist who can recognize foot conditions.  Thorough cleaning of dead skin(onychophosis) under the nails.  Callus softening or removal.  Learn more about what happens during a medical pedicure and the differences between a cosmetic vs. a medical pedicure.  Avoid Certain Tools Nail technicians in salons use many tools, but you should kindly request they skip some of them. One of these is the foot rasp or “grater” they use to scrape the bottom of the feet. It can be overly abrasive and damage the skin, leading to irritation and cuts. Strong skin is a barrier for contaminants, and damaged skin welcomes dirt and infections.  To protect your feet even more, you can skip tools that don’t appear to be properly sanitized or cleaned between uses, or avoid tools with visible signs of wear and tear. Practice Aftercare After getting your pedicure, it’s up to you to keep on top of proper foot care! Here’s what to do: Avoid tight shoes that crowd the toes. This can cause ingrown toenails. Wash your feet every day with gentle soap before thoroughly drying. If you must cut your own toenails, only trim straight across, avoiding shaping. Moisturize and exfoliate your feet. Wear clean cotton socks and change them frequently.

The Importance of Foot Hygiene: Tips and Tricks for Clean Feet
One often overlooked but crucial aspect of personal hygiene is foot care. Your feet carry you through countless activities but don't always receive the attention they deserve when it comes to cleanliness. In this article, we delve into the importance of foot hygiene and tips for keeping feet clean and healthy. From simple daily practices to preventing infections, we’ll explore this aspect of foot health care together. Wash Your Feet Daily First thing’s first, lather up your feet! Use mild soap every day to wash your feet either on their own or while in the shower or bath tub. This not only eliminates dirt and keeps your feet feeling fresh, but if you come in contact with tinea pedis soap and water may be able remove the fungus before it becomes athlete’s foot.  Keep Your Feet Dry If you fail to keep your feet dry you’re welcoming a wide array of issues. Not only does moisture cause foot odour, but it also creates the type of environment foot fungi love and thrive in. It also leads to skin maceration, blisters, cracking, and peeling. Give your feet a good dry with a nice soft towel. Pay extra attention to the hard-to-reach areas in between the toes, and to go the extra mile, let them bask in the air or in front of a fan.  Moisturize Your Feet Moisturizing hydrates the feet and fights excessively dry skin. When your skin is too dry it can create fissures and cracks that welcome dirt. So, while keeping your feet dry is essential, remember not to overdo it and turn them into the Sahara Desert! Wear Clean Socks and Rotate Footwear Keeping your feet cooped up in dirty socks is a recipe for persistent foot odour and moisture. For the ultimate foot refresh while on the go, change your socks throughout the day.  This also applies to your footwear, especially for less breathable shoes. To avoid having to change your footwear all the time, look for light runners and walkers with perforated holes that let fresh air in and out.  Trim Your Toenails You may be wondering what your toenails have to do with foot hygiene. Trimmed toenails are less likely to harbour dirt and fungus, while also looking great! Jagged edges and too-long nails can also pierce your socks, which ruins their protective purpose. Learn how to trim your nails like a pro here.  Protect Your Feet in Public Areas Swimming pools, locker rooms, communal showers — you’re putting yourself at risk of contracting a fungal infection if you frequent these places. If you can’t avoid them, protect your feet with shower shoes and flip flops to keep funky fungi at bay!

Footwear and Fitness: Choosing the Right Shoes for Your Workout
Whether you're hitting the gym, running, or attending a fitness class, proper footwear is essential for optimizing performance, preventing injuries, and ensuring comfort throughout your workout. With so many options available, choosing the right shoes can be overwhelming. In this blog post, we'll break down the critical considerations for selecting the perfect pair of shoes for your specific workout needs, so you step confidently into your fitness journey. Understanding your feet Before making shoe selections, understand your feet and movement patterns. Consider factors such as foot shape, arch type, pronation (how your foot rolls inward), and activities you engage in. For example, those with flat feet may require extra arch support, while individuals with high arches may benefit from cushioned shoes to absorb shock. Key factors for working out Running Choosing the right shoes for running is essential to preventing injuries and enhancing performance. Look for running shoes that provide ample cushioning to absorb impact and support to promote proper alignment. Consider factors such as your running gait, terrain, and distance when selecting shoes, and opt for models designed specifically for road running, trail running, or racing, depending on your needs. Cross-training For cross-training activities such as weightlifting, HIIT (high-intensity interval training), and circuit training, opt for versatile shoes that offer stability, support, and flexibility. Look for shoes with a flat sole and firm heel to provide a solid base for lifting weights and enough cushioning to support dynamic movements like jumps and lunges. Walking Whether walking for exercise or daily activities, selecting the right shoes is essential for comfort and support. Look for shoes with cushioned midsoles, supportive arches, and durable outsoles to provide shock absorption, stability, and traction. Consider breathable uppers and moisture-wicking linings to keep your feet cool and dry on longer walks. Other sports Choose shoes designed for specific sports, such as tennis, basketball, or soccer, to meet the unique demands of each activity. Look for shoes with lateral support for quick cuts and pivots, ankle support to prevent sprains, and durable outsoles for traction on court surfaces. Additional tips for footwear selection Try shoes in the afternoon or evening when your feet are slightly larger. Wear the socks you typically wear during workouts to ensure the right fit. Test the shoes by walking, jogging, or performing movements similar to your workout routine to assess comfort and support. Replace worn-out shoes regularly to maintain optimal performance and prevent injuries. For runners, shoes typically wear out around 800 kilometres.

Age-Defying Foot Care: Keeping Your Feet Youthful at Any Age
When it comes to anti-aging routines, our feet are often overlooked. Yet, they are one of the hardest-working parts of our body and deserve just as much attention as our skincare regimen. As we age, our feet undergo natural changes that can lead to discomfort and mobility issues if left unchecked. In this blog post, we'll explore age-defying foot care tips to help keep your feet feeling youthful and vibrant at any age. 1. Maintain proper hygiene Good foot hygiene is the foundation of age-defying foot care. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and more susceptible to infections, making it essential to keep our feet clean and dry to prevent fungal infections and bacterial growth. Wash your feet daily with soap and water, paying close attention to the spaces between toes, and thoroughly dry them afterward to prevent moisture buildup. 2. Moisturize regularly Dry, cracked skin is a common issue that affects aging feet. To keep your feet soft and supple: Moisturize them regularly with a rich foot cream or lotion. Focus on areas prone to dryness, such as the heels and soles, and consider using products containing ingredients like urea or shea butter, known for their hydrating properties. For an extra treat, indulge in a weekly foot soak followed by a moisturizing foot mask to pamper your feet and lock in moisture. 3. Supportive footwear As we age, the fat pads in our feet naturally thin out, leading to decreased cushioning and shock absorption—this is known as fat pad atrophy. Investing in supportive footwear with ample cushioning and arch support is crucial for maintaining foot health and preventing discomfort. Look for shoes with a roomy toe box to accommodate any changes in foot shape, and opt for styles with adjustable straps or laces for a customized fit. Additionally, consider wearing orthotic inserts or custom-made orthotics to provide extra support and cushioning. 4. Consistent exercise Like the rest of our body, our feet benefit from regular exercise to improve strength, flexibility, and circulation. To keep your feet limber and mobile, incorporate simple foot exercises into your daily routine, such as toe curls, ankle circles, and calf stretches. Additionally, consider practicing yoga or tai chi, which can help improve balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls and injuries as we age. 5. Routine and regular check-ups Regular foot exams are essential for detecting foot problems or underlying health issues early. Schedule regular check-ups with a chiropodist or foot specialist to monitor your feet's health and address any concerns promptly. They can provide valuable insights and recommendations tailored to your needs, helping you maintain healthy, youthful feet for years.
