Summer Foot Care Tips: Keep Your Feet Healthy This July

Use flip flops with good arch support!

Summer is here in full swing, and with it comes sandals, vacations, and outdoor fun.

However, while you're enjoying the sunshine, your feet may be more susceptible to specific seasonal issues.

 At Kiddy Foot & Ankle Group, we're here to help you keep your feet healthy, pain free, and ready for summer fun!

Common Summer Foot Problems

- Heel pain from flip-flops with poor arch support

- Fungal infections (athlete's foot, toenail fungus)

- Cracked heels or dry skin from going barefoot

- Warts or skin irritation from public pools or showers

Dr. Kiddy's Summer Foot Care Tips

- Choose supportive sandals with arch support (avoid flat flip-flops)

- Keep your feet clean and dry, especially between your toes! 

- Moisturize daily to prevent cracked heels

- Use water shoes in public showers, pools, and locker rooms

- Don't ignore pain-early care prevents bigger problems later
