Ultimate Foot Care Products Checklist

Your feet hold you up and keep you going through the busy days. And just like your face, hands, hair, and other body parts, they deserve care with the assistance of some fantastic foot care products. In other words, protecting your feet goes far beyond buying a great pair of shoes.

But where to start?

Looking after your feet is about being vigilant, preventing painful issues from arising, and searching for foot care products that help you achieve those goals.

Most importantly, everyone has different needs. You could simply try to boost your overall skincare routine, but sometimes it goes a step further. If you have a condition like athlete’s foot, you might have to narrow your shopping list to find products that help relieve symptoms like itching. Furthermore, foot care products go beyond creams and skin care, with sprays, powders, and accessories available for the foot health-conscious shopper. 

Here is a general foot care products checklist (don’t worry — we’ll be talking specifics!):

  • Foot Creams
  • Foot Powders and Sprays
  • Supportive Accessories
  • Miscellaneous Products

Foot Creams

If there’s one important tip we can give you, it’s don’t miss out on foot creams.

Issues like dry skin and rough, cracked heels are ever-so-present when Canadian winters roll around. Luckily, lathering your feet in silky smooth foot creams can help fight these common nuisances. Foot creams also provide a cooling and revitalizing effect, while simultaneously strengthening the skin’s natural barriers.

Try these foot creams:

Foot Powders and Sprays

You may think powders and feet don’t mesh, but you’d be mistaken. The same thing can be said for sprays! These are essentially foot deodorants that protect your feet from developing perspiration-related conditions.

Try these foot powders and sprays:

  • Gehwol’s Foot and Shoe Deodorant: The Zinc Rizinoleate prevents and removes the sweat and odour on the feet and in the shoe. It also helps protect your feet in communal spaces that put your feet at risk of athlete’s foot and fungal infections, like showers, locker rooms and public pools.
  • Gehwol’s Foot Powder: This product helps absorb excessive sweat, keeping your feet dry and soft to the touch.

Supportive Accessories

On the prowl for affordable alternatives to custom orthotic fittings? Check out these cheaper, yet high-quality, options!

  • Superfeet Green: Superfeet offers high-quality, easy-to-use inserts for your shoes. Green is one of their most popular colours, even coming highly recommended by the American Podiatric Medical Association. They offer orthotic support for people with high arches and other structurally painful conditions and can save you money if you don’t have insurance for custom orthotics.
  • Superfeet Orange: Another popular offering from Superfeet, these insoles are great for high-impact activities and have a shock-absorbing foam pad at the forefront. If you’re on the hunt for products that accommodate your athleticism, you may want to check them out.

Miscellaneous Foot Care Products For Your Checklist: 

Looking for a One-Stop-Shop for all Things Foot Care?

The Link Between Footwear and Back Pain: What You Need to Know
Back pain is common among adults, with up to 80% of people experiencing back pain at least once in their lifetime. While the causes of back pain can vary, one often overlooked factor is the type of footwear we wear. Believe it or not, the shoes we put on our feet can significantly impact our spinal health. This article will explore the connection between footwear and back pain and provide insights into choosing shoes to support a healthy back. The alignment connection Our feet are the foundation of our body's alignment, and our shoes play a crucial role in maintaining proper alignment from the ground up. When we wear shoes with inadequate support or that don't fit properly, it can throw off the alignment of our feet, leading to a chain reaction of misalignment throughout the body, including the spine. This misalignment can cause strain on the muscles and ligaments of the back, leading to discomfort and pain. High heels and back pain One of the most well-known culprits of back pain is high heels. While they may be fashionable, high heels can wreak havoc on the spine. The elevated heel alters the spine's natural curvature, increasing pressure on the lower back and making the muscles to work harder to maintain balance. Over time, this can lead to muscle imbalances, postural issues, and chronic back pain. Flat shoes and lack of support Conversely, flat shoes with inadequate support can also contribute to back pain. Shoes that lack proper arch support don't provide necessary shock absorption and stability, leading to increased stress on the spine. Additionally, shoes with worn-out soles or insufficient cushioning can exacerbate back pain by failing to provide adequate protection against impact forces. Choosing the right footwear So, what can we do to prevent back pain and promote spinal health through our footwear choices? Here are some tips for selecting the right shoes: Opt for shoes with adequate arch support to maintain the spine's natural curvature. Look for cushioned soles that provide shock absorption to reduce impact on the spine. Choose shoes with a supportive heel counter to stabilize the foot and ankle. Ensure proper fit by wearing shoes and walking around to assess comfort and support. Consider orthotic inserts or custom-made orthotics to address specific foot issues and improve overall alignment. When it comes to back pain, every step counts. By paying attention to our shoes and choosing footwear that supports spinal health, we can take proactive steps to prevent discomfort and promote overall well-being.

Ultimate Guide to Moisturizing Your Feet: Say Goodbye to Dry Skin
Wondering about top foot moisturizing tips and dry skin remedies? Look no further! Skin-related issues are common at Feet First Clinic, so we know a thing or two about the secrets behind soft feet! Keep reading to master our step-by-step guide on the perfect hydrated skin care routine for your feet. Foot Moisturizing Tips: A Step-by-Step Guide Numerous studies support the use of high-quality moisturizing creams on the feet to fight xerosis (the medical term for dry skin). Dry skin acts as a foundation for common foot problems, like pain and soreness, bleeding, cracked heels, peeling skin, and more, so moisturization not only makes your feet feel smooth to the touch, but it also gives you protection against future troubles. Moisturizing can also help you manage more serious concerns, like diabetes and psoriatic arthritis.  Below are the steps you should follow to guarantee you are lathering your feet up the right way: Step 1: Get the right products Step 2: Cleanse and exfoliate your feet Step 3: Moisturize your feet Step 4: Protect and maintain Step 1: Get the Right Products For the best results, choose medicinal moisturizing creams from brands like Gehwol. These focus on hydration, are fragrance-free and made without harsh chemicals.  Their Soft Feet Cream contains urea (which absorbs moisture and softens skin) and glycerin (which relieves dryness and retains moisture). It also contains soothing and pleasant ingredients like avocado oil and honey extract.  Their Med Salve for Cracked Skin may be the best bet for a more aggressive moisturizing treatment. Due to it being a salve and not a cream, it is specially designed to penetrate the skin more thoroughly. Likewise, in addition to being a good choice for people prone to cracked heels, it is suitable for diabetics. Another good option is the deep penetrating heel care cream from Dermal Therapy.  Step 2: Cleanse and Exfoliate Your Feet Before moisturizing comes foot hygiene! You should always start with a clean base. Clean your feet in warm water with fragrance-free, gentle soaps, and thoroughly dry, especially in between the toes (vulnerable area for fungal infections). To go the extra mile, exfoliate your feet with a scrub product and finish off with a foot file on the bottom of the feet. This eliminates dead skin cells, making your moisturizer more effective! Step 3: Moisturize Your Feet Moisturizing itself is pretty simple. Use a generous dollop (but not too much) of moisturizer and focus on dry areas, if you have any. Massage the moisturizer into your feet using circular motions, ensuring full coverage. Avoid the area in between the toes if you’re prone to infections or wounds (if you have diabetes). Moisture can build in the between the toes more easily than other areas.  Step 4: Protect and Maintain  Repeat this process regularly, ideally daily or at least a few times a week, to keep your feet soft, smooth, and well-hydrated. If your skin is especially vulnerable and sensitive, like for those with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, a regular routine is extra important to help you manage painful flar- ups.

The Importance of Foot Hygiene: Tips and Tricks
Foot hygiene and solid foot care tips are your secret weapons for happy and healthy feet! Everyone should practice a clean and healthy foot routine, but those with foot conditions such as diabetes or chronic fungal infections should be extra vigilant. Today we’ll talk about the best foot cleaning practices and how to implement them into your daily foot care routine.  Foot Health Essentials: How to Keep Your Feet Clean and Protected Foot hygiene is pretty straightforward stuff! But you may make some minor missteps along the way. Take a look below at the best ways to wash, dry and moisturize your feet.  Washing Your Feet Wash your feet daily with natural, gentle soaps in warm water. Hot water can negatively impact your blood circulation by increasing the size of the blood vessels, so be careful with temperatures. Moisturizing Your Feet Use lotion on the bottom and top of your feet. This can help you prevent calluses, corns, cracked heels, and more. Natural, fragrance-free and medicinal lotions are your best bet (try Gehwol at Feet First Clinic!). If you have diabetes, be extra careful to avoid putting lotion in between your toes; it could cause an infection depending on the lotion. Fungal infections also favour wet toes and tend to appear there.  Keeping Your Feet Dry Thoroughly dry your feet after washing them. If you get lazy and keep them damp, you are again more likely to attract contagious fungal infections (they love moist environments!). Invest in products that help manage foot dampness and repel excess moisture. These include moisture-wicking socks (also remember to change your sock frequently!), waterproof shoes and boots, running shoes with perforated holes in the uppers, and various foot deodorant products (creams, powders, sprays). These products are also great for preventing foot odour.  Toenail Care and Foot Hygiene Keeping your nails in top shape is an important element of foot hygiene. Follow these nail care tips to protect your nails and keep them clean and strong.  Cut your nails straight across with high-quality nail clippers. Don’t try to shape them during this stage!  Avoid cutting your nails too close to the skin; this will cause ingrown toenails.  Gently use a nail file for subtle shaping.  Don’t try to cut your own cuticles if you’re prone to infections. They protect the nails and getting rid of them improperly may welcome fungi.  Schedule a medical pedicure for professional care and a cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.

Yoga for Feet: Strengthening and Flexibility Exercises
Yoga is a respected form of healthy, low-impact exercise. It fosters physical strength, mental well-being, and helps with flexibility training. But what you may not know about is what yoga can do for your feet.  Yoga and foot health have a close connection. Your feet serve as the base for most exercises, so almost every famous yoga pose doubles as a foot strengthening exercise in some way! Specifically, studies show that yoga can help with musculoskeletal problems in the lower extremities. Whether it’s toe yoga exercises, yoga for ankle strengthening, or yoga for arch support, most poses work wonders for the feet. Today we’ll talk about the top four, how you should perform them, and what they do for your foot health. Top Yoga Foot Strengthening Exercises Downward-facing dog Tree pose Warrior pose Cat-cow pose Downward-Facing Dog This well-known pose provides a nice calf stretch, in addition to being a good ankle and foot strengthening exercise due its ability to target the smallest, stabilizing muscles in the feet. Try this yoga pose to protect against foot injuries, promote arch support, and help manage conditions like Achilles tendonitis.  How to:  Start in a tabletop position (this is a foundation pose for many yoga exercises, and basically just means being on your hands and knees) Lift your hips towards the ceiling, straightening your legs and arms. Form an inverted "V" shape with your body, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart and feet hip-width apart. Press your palms into the mat, lengthen your spine, and draw your heels toward the floor. Hold the position, breathing deeply, and feel the stretch in your hamstrings and shoulders. To release, bend your knees and return to the tabletop position. Tip: To liven up your downward-facing dog pose, you can incorporate toe raises (during step 4 and 5), where the body is supported by just your toes instead of the entire foot. This can do more when targeting conditions like flat feet and bunions. Cat-Cow Pose The cat-cow pose is praised for the way it engages your spine and helps manage back pain. But you can modify the traditional version to strengthen and stretch your feet more. Let’s take a look at the traditional way to perform the pose, and add our modifications so you can give your feet more attention.  How to (traditional):  Start on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Inhale, arch your back, lift your head, and drop your belly (cow pose). Exhale, round your spine, tuck your chin to your chest (cat pose).  How to (modified):  While in the cow pose, press the tops of your feet into the mat and actively curl your toes, engaging the muscles in your feet. While in the cat pose, purposely point your toes away from you, stretching the tops of your feet and creating a gentle stretch in the ankles. Tree Pose Like downward-facing dog, the tree pose strengthens the small muscles in the ankles and feet. But another perk is how it can help you improve your balance, which people with foot and toe deformities, like bunions and hammertoes, and different types of arthritis, often need to focus on. The tree pose also helps strengthen the arches of the feet, providing support and stability for those with flat feet.  How to:  Stand on one leg, shifting your weight to the same foot as the leg you choose.  Bring the sole of your other foot to the inner thigh or calf.  Bring your palms together in front of your chest or reach them overhead. Hold the pose, maintaining balance as best as you can.  Repeat on the other leg. Warrior II Pose Due to its wide stance, the Warrior II pose provides a balance challenge, calf engagement, and can be a solid means of targeting ankle stability. Also, as you ground the outer edge of your back foot and press down through the inner arch, you engage the muscles in the arch of the foot.  The best part? This is one of the easiest yoga poses to master, and makes you feel confident and powerful!  How to:  Start in a standing position with your feet about 3-4 feet apart. Turn your right foot out 90 degrees, aligning the heel with the arch of your left foot. Extend your arms parallel to the floor.

Custom Orthotics: When and Why You Might Need Them
Do you often find yourself experiencing foot pain after a long day on your feet? Or maybe you struggle with posture or want to enhance your athletic performance? Custom orthotics may be the solution. This blog post explores why custom orthotics may be necessary, how they benefit your feet, and how to them. Why and when might you need custom orthotics? Custom orthotics are specially designed inserts inside your shoes to support and correctly align your feet. They are built custom to your feet to address any specific issues you may be experiencing. While over-the-counter shoe inserts can provide some relief, they often lack the precision and support that custom orthotics offer. There are several reasons why you might need custom orthotics: Foot pain: Whether dealing with plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, or arch pain, custom orthotics can help alleviate discomfort by providing support and cushioning to the affected areas. Posture improvement: Misalignment in the feet can lead to poor posture, which can cause pain and discomfort in your knees, hips, and lower back. Custom orthotics can help correct these alignment issues, resulting in better posture and reduced pain. Athletic performance: Athletes often rely on their feet to perform at their best. Custom orthotics can provide the support and stability needed to optimize biomechanics and prevent injuries during physical activity. How do custom insoles benefit your feet? The benefits of custom orthotics extend beyond just relieving pain and discomfort. Below are some ways they can improve the health and function of your feet: Improved support Custom orthotic insoles provide support where you need it most, whether in the arches, heels, or balls of your feet. This added support can help distribute pressure and reduce strain on muscles and ligaments. Better alignment By correcting misalignments in the feet, custom insoles can help improve overall body alignment, leading to better posture and reduced risk of injury. Enhanced shock absorption Custom orthotics are made from materials that offer superior shock absorption, helping to cushion your feet and joints from the impact of walking, running, or jumping. Overuse injury prevention Overuse injuries are a common concern. Orthotics can help prevent these injuries by providing stability and support to the feet, reducing the risk of strain and overuse. How do you get fitted for custom orthotics? Getting custom orthotics is straightforward. You can expect the following while being fitted for custom orthotics: 1. Schedule a foot assessment The first step is to schedule a foot assessment with a chiropodist or foot specialist who can assess your feet and discuss your needs and concerns. 2. Physical Exam During the assessment, your feet are examined to identify issues such as flat feet, high arches, or abnormal gait patterns. If you have pain or foot concerns, let your chiropodist know. It also helps to inform your chiropodist about any activities or sports you engage in regularly plus the footwear you own and wear. 3. Gait analysis A video gait analysis helps evaluate how you walk or run to identify biomechanical issues contributing to your foot pain or discomfort. The gait analysis is part of a biomechanical assessment, which also includes a range of motion and weight-bearing assessment. All three help create a more comprehensive overview of your feet. 4. Customization Based on the assessment and analysis findings, your orthotics are designed to address your unique foot structure and alignment issues. Casting captures the foot in a subtalar joint neutral position. At Feet First Clinic, chiropodists use plaster, 3D scanning or foam to cast your feet. 5. Fitting Once the orthotics are made, you return to the specialist for a fitting. The chiropodist will ensure the orthotics fit comfortably inside your shoes and provide the necessary support and alignment. 6. Follow-up Follow-up appointments can be helpful to monitor your progress and adjust the orthotics to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness.

Foot Massage Techniques for Relaxation and Relief
Similar to practicing exercises and stretches at home, learning how to perform your own foot massage and relaxation techniques can work wonders. Whether you’re looking to manage your own pain, or tending to a loved one, foot massages can provide comfort and stress relief. Since foot massages are a major component of DIY foot care, we want to give you some handy tips on how to make the most of them. Let’s discuss how to massage each part of the foot, and highlight foot massage benefits you may not even be aware of! Today's blog will explore: Main benefits of a foot massage Foot massage techniques Additional benefits of a foot massage Main Benefits of a Foot Massage Foot massages can be empowering for those on a pain management journey. Regularly performing them before bed and when you wake up adds value to your treatment plan, and can make your daily life more comfortable! Here are the numerous benefits: Targeted treatment of foot conditions Relaxation and stress relief Swelling (edema) management  Restless leg syndrome management Reduces foot fatigue and boosts energy Improves blood circulation  Foot Massages Techniques A comprehensive foot massage should target as much of the foot as possible, but sometimes foot pain and conditions tend to affect certain areas and you want to focus on what you're struggling with. Heel Can help with plantar fasciitis, Achilles' tendonitis, etc.  Apply gentle pressure to the heel, using circular motions with your thumbs to loosen up the area.  Foot Arch / Bottom of the Foot  Can help with flat feet, high arches, metatarsalgia, etc.  While standing, place your arch on top of a therapeutic massage ball, and roll back and forth. This doubles as a useful foot exercise!  Use your knuckles to knead and massage the arch in a back-and-forth motion. Apply firm yet comfortable pressure with your thumbs in small circular motions, addressing as much tension as possible.  Toes Can help with arthritis, bunions, etc.  Apply a light, pinching motion to the base of each toe, working your way towards the tip. Use your thumbs to press and release along the toe joints, addressing any tension. Gently pull each toe away from the foot until you feel a subtle stretch. Top of the Foot Can help with extensor tendonitis, arthritis, stress fractures, etc.  Apply gentle pressure with your thumbs along the top of the foot, from the base of the toes to the ankle. Use your knuckles or thumbs to knead the area in small circular motions, focusing on any tightness or tension. Incorporate long, sweeping strokes with your palms, moving from the toes towards the ankle. Additional Benefits of a Foot Massage You may also find acupressure points in the feet and foot reflexology worth exploring. Some studies suggest that “meridian points on the feet correspond with various organs in the body,” which is the concept behind foot reflexology. These organs include the kidneys, liver, small intestine, and many more. Essentially, applying gentle pressure to the appropriate acupressure points is believed to stimulate the flow of energy along the body's meridians.  In addition to pain management and stress relief, foot reflexology may also help with sleep, digestion, and eyesight. Your DIY massages may somewhat reflect what reflexology can achieve, but it’s important to discuss the concept with a healthcare professional if it interests you.
