Patient question: Why do my feet hurt?

Picking up the patient’s shoes I had my answer. No support, no protection from the elements, "they are damaging your feet"

"Buy some new shoes … immediately".

Worn out shoes … the sole

Worn out shoes … from the inside

Worn out shoes … close up … you can see through them

A New Year, a new chiropody couch

My old Akron chiropody couch has come to the end of its life and it is going on the scrap heap, actually it’s going for recycling!

Apparently it was beyond a reasonable cost repair, too many bits of metal had fallen off, the fabric was cracking, the upholstery padding needed replacing and well to be perfectly honest … I didn’t like the colour any more! It has served me well though, about 20 years. So now my "obsolete" couch has gone and I am now the proud owner of a Dancohr Podiatry couch from DLT Chiropody.

Here is Richard Wadley from DLT Chiropody carrying it into my clinic, thanks Richard.

And here it is in my clinic, my favourite colour … black

Bye bye old Akron couch

Ecco Terra Ankle Boots

My new winter boots … well one of the pairs (of many to come… maybe). I thought it was time for a new addition to the shoe family!

I’m glad to see that my local shoe shop Mostyn McKenzie in Tenterden now have a good range of ECCO shoes and boots. I think you could say that I am a definite ECCO fan. So if you are a local head off down to Mostyn McKenzie shop in the Tenterden High Street, if you aren’t a Tenterden local, then hop over here to the Ecco online shoe store and check out the great winter shoes and boots.

I am registered with the Health Professions Council, the regulatory body for health professionals and I have been treating feet for over 20 years.

For further information about my chiropody practice see my practice website where you will find lots of tips and information.

From a professional point of view I find feet, foot conditions and shoes fascinating. I spent the first part of my life waiting for the Internet to be invented and now it's here I want to share my enthusiasm about feet with you all.
