Noticing your shoe size creeping up as you age? 👟⁠

Your feet aren’t actually growing—what’s happening is that over time, the ligaments and tendons lose elasticity, allowing the foot to flatten and spread. This can lead to bigger shoe sizes, reduced shock absorption, and more pressure on joints like your knees, hips, and back.⁠

As we age, the fat pad on the soles also thins out, making walking or running feel harder on the feet. These changes can lead to issues like plantar fasciitis, bunions, or general foot pain.⁠

👣 Foot Tip: Stay ahead of aging feet by wearing properly fitted shoes, using arch supports or custom orthotics, and seeing a foot specialist if pain persists.⁠

Your feet do a lot for you—give them the care they deserve.⁠

Your knee pain might be coming from… your feet.👣⁠

Most people don’t realize it, but your foot mechanics play a huge role in how your knees (and hips!) feel. Even small imbalances can add up to pain, joint stress, and faster wear and tearespecially if you’re living with osteoarthritis. ⚠️⁠

💡 The good news? Supporting your feet can relieve pressure and protect your knees.⁠

As a pedorthist, I assess your gait, foot alignment, and recommend custom solutions like orthotics and footwear adjustments to help you move better pain-free. 🙌⁠

You need a proper hiking shoe or at the very least a sturdy walking/running shoe. It really comes down to what type of trail you are challenging.⁠

Hiking Shoes: The Good⁠

➡️ Designed and engineered for protection from the elements.⁠
➡️ Stiff rugged outsole (the rubber on the bottom of the shoe) that is designed for gripping various surfaces including dirt, rocks, mud, and water, and protecting your foot from stepping on sharp rocks.⁠
➡️Increased ankle support.⁠

Hiking Shoes: The Bad⁠
👎 Thick, rigid outsoles reduce ground feel, slowing your brain’s response to uneven terrain.⁠
👎 Increased risk of twisted ankles, especially when distracted or fatigued.⁠
👎 Your nervous system tires over long hikes, affecting balance and reaction time.
