Back-to-School Foot Checks: A Smart Start for Growing Feet

Growing Feet, Growing Concerns? We Can Help!

The start of the school year brings a flurry of activity – new uniforms, stationery, and of course, the dreaded school shoes. But before the first bell rings, consider a crucial step: a podiatry check-up for your child.


Growing feet are constantly changing, and early intervention can prevent future problems. A podiatrist can identify and address issues like flat feet, in-toeing, out-toeing, and other gait abnormalities. Early treatment, whether through exercises, orthotics, or footwear adjustments, can significantly improve comfort and prevent pain.


Furthermore, a podiatry check-up can guide you in selecting the right school shoes. Not all shoes are created equal. A podiatrist can assess your child's specific needs and recommend features like appropriate soles, adequate support, and proper fit. This ensures comfort and prevents blisters, calluses, and other foot-related issues that can disrupt your child's focus and enjoyment of school.


Investing in a pre-school year podiatry check-up is an investment in your child's long-term foot health and overall well-being. It's a small step that can make a big difference in their comfort, confidence, and success.

We'll gently check your child's feet for any potential concerns, such as flat feet, in-toeing, or out-toeing. This no-obligation consultation is a valuable first step towards ensuring your child's healthy foot development."
