Ignoring this can lead to discomfort, frustration, and even long-term foot problems. Here’s why choosing the right school shoes is so important, along with podiatry-approved tips to help you find the best option for your child.

Our Additional pair Orthotic Offer explained:


For a limited time, eligible patients can purchase an additional second pair of custom orthotics for just $310 + fitting appointment within 90 days of receiving their SMS offer. This offer provides a cost-effective way to ensure you have the support and comfort you need across multiple pairs of shoes—whether for work, exercise, or everyday wear. Having an additional pair also helps reduce wear and tear, extend the life of your orthotics, and eliminate the hassle of constantly switching them between shoes.


Why Get an Additional Pair of Orthotics?


An additional pair of custom orthotics offers added convenience, comfort, and longevity for your foot health. Instead of constantly switching your orthotics between shoes, having an additional pair ensures consistent support across different footwear—whether it’s for work, exercise, or casual wear. The additional pair can be different to the original pair of orthotics to suit the intended shoes to be worn. This is especially beneficial for patients with active lifestyles, physically demanding jobs, or specific footwear needs (such as running shoes, dress shoes, or safety boots).


Furthermore, an additional pair can help extend the lifespan of your orthotics by reducing wear and tear, while also ensuring you always have a backup.


Take advantage of this limited-time offer to support your mobility, comfort, and overall well-being every step of the way!

It’s the reason that you see noticeable differences in men’s and women’s shoe sizing and fit – leading shoe manufacturers are taking much more than just style into consideration in their designs, it is now commonplace to consider both structural differences like foot width, arch height, toe height and natural flexibility – as well as functional differences like the tendency to pound the pavement during running.

Australian rules football is both a great team sport, and makes for an excellent endurance workout, with players quickly accelerating to high-speed running, making swift changes in direction, kicking, ball-handling and tackling over an 80-minute game. At a professional level, game analysis shows that every game sees the players cover on average 13.2km, make 19 tackles, 205 kicks, 169 handballs and 88 marks. That’s a massive demand on the body in a short timeframe, and with that, comes the very real risk of injury.

Or – you can start to improve the appearance of your nails today by using these five podiatrist-approved methods.

Love your feet

Just like any relationship in our lives, the one we have with our feet is two-sided: we look after them, and they’ll look after us as we take approximately 2.7 million steps every year.

When it comes to caring for our feet – it’s easier than many people realise as it’s the little things over time that can make a big difference. To help treat your feet, our podiatrists have shared ten things your feet will love that will help them stay healthy and happy.

Keeping up with our children’s growth and development is a difficult task – and the feet are no exception.

A new day can see us noticing something different that our child has started doing, like the way their foot turns in when they walk, leaving us wondering whether that’s normal, if we should keep an eye on it, or if big alarm bells should already be going off.

Heel pain is a common source of frustration for many Australians whose jobs, physical and social activities, and their overall lives can become greatly restricted when they’re battling this frustrating problem.
