25.01.2022 We stock a range of diabetic-friendly shoes and socks online. What makes a shoe diabetic friendly can vary, but usually involves a seamless or minimal-seam finish for minimum irritation/rubbing inside the shoe, maximum comfort, extra depth to help accommodate swelling and changes in foot/joint shape, a good fastening mechanism (so NOT slip-ons!) and great support. We've linked our women's range below - just click over to Men's and 'diabetic-friendly' for the men's range! ... https://www.globalfootcare.com.au/shop-women-s/diabetic.html

18.01.2022 It's tradies health month, so we thought we'd touch on a common problem we see among tradies: tired, achy legs at the end of their workday. This affects tradies often because: You're spending all day on your feet, on hard surfaces... You don't always get a choice in your work-safe footwear, so they don't help your feet You are overusing your muscles during the day, contributed to by your unsupportive footwear Your gait (the way you move) isn't as smooth as it used to be If this is sounding all too familiar for you - the good news is that we can help you with. We'll look at exactly what's causing your end-of-day aches and pains, help you manage that pain, and then work with you to help prevent it from being an ongoing issue.

13.01.2022 Your Achilles tendon at the back of the heel actually has a much lower blood supply than most of your other muscles and tendons - which can make it more difficult for injuries to heal This is where our shockwave treatment comes in.

07.01.2022 Why resting after your workout is a CRUCIAL part of strength building Here's Sam sharing how our bodies are super compensators and what this means for your workout!

07.01.2022 Footwear for women with bunions A big complaint we get from women with bunions is that they're unable to fit into 'regular' sandals - they need sandals that don't rub against their bunion, and can be adjustable at the forefoot to suit the unique shape of THEIR bunion - because everyone's is different! Here are examples of two of the many adjustable sandals we have online for you - as well as anyone with a naturally wide forefoot!... One of these options has a closed-back (we loved closed backs as podiatrists!) and the other has a strap-back. Both of these are designed by podiatrists with orthopaedic considerations in mind - which means comfort and support, paired with a bit of style! We've linked both of these styles for you in the comments below. Enjoy!

06.01.2022 White casual walking shoes Recommendations for white casual walking shoes are always a hot topic. While we normally recommend sports-specific shoes if you were experiencing foot pain and wanting to participate in sports, go for runs and the like - here's a great option for those that AREN'T recovering from an injury and want an orthopaedic-friendly (and great-looking) casual walking shoe. Designed by Vionic, the Ingrid sneaker comes in white (as many of you have asked!) as well as dusty pink and black. You can order these through us online here: https://www.globalfootcare.com.au/ingrid-active-sneaker.htm

Today, our team shares why this happens here: https://www.thepodiatrist.net.au//why-do-my-feet-feel-like #burningfeet #burningatnight #footpain

02.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago we shared our range of adjustable women's shoes which were very much LOVED. But what do we have available for men?

01.01.2022 Mens slippers for the home Slippers do much more than keep your feet form - they protect your feet from unseen damage (especially if you have nerve damage or diabetes!), they can promote your stability and balance, and even assist in decreasing your falls risk. These ones here have a reinforced heel counter for extra support - and are designed by podiatrists with a very comfortable footbed on the inside, as well as a vulcanised rubber outsole for maximum traction and durab...ility on the outside. You can bet we've got a number of pairs for our family members already! Check them out here: https://www.globalfootcare.com.au/solomon-men-s.html
