Here are some fun facts that we tell people at our office:
1. When you buy shoes at our Sole Savers Shoe Store we will measure your feet and watch the way you walk to check your gait. We will encourage you to buy for the longer foot, lots of people have one foot that is larger than the other. Also, the second toe may be your longest toe. Be sure you are wearing the right size socks too, it matters! Try not to get cotton socks, you need a material that will wick away moisture like our Dr. Comfort Bamboo Charcoal socks.
2. If you have stinky feet go ahead and use your underarm deodorant on the bottoms of your feet. It works!
3. Be careful when getting a pedicure, we use one-time use water bath trays and no piped water. We also have sterilized instruments. You will be seated in your own private room.
4. Crest Pads, Bunion and Toe Separators, are only going to give you temporary relief, they are not going to fix the problem!
5. Everyone loves the Flip-Flop. It you must wear one please consider our Dr. Comfort flip-flop with the built-in orthotic.
6. Store bought inserts are really not that great! They are alright if you want extra padding and a little arch support but custom molded orthotics actually are made to correct the way you walk and fix your gait. They should be firm and not soft and squishy.
