Taking care of your feet in summer is essential to keep comfortable, healthy, and active when the temperature climbs and you’re spending more time outdoors. Foot balance technology offers great ways to support your foot health all year round, especially during the warmer months. Here’s how you can look after your feet this summer, backed by the latest foot balance insights.
🧼 Keep Your Feet Clean and Dry
Summer heat and sweat create the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi, which can cause issues like athlete’s foot or unpleasant smells. Wash your feet daily with mild soap and make sure to dry them properly, especially between the toes. Many foot balance products feature moisture-wicking materials that help keep feet dry, reducing irritation and infections.
👟 Choose Breathable, Supportive Footwear
While sandals and thongs might seem like the go-to summer option, they often don’t provide the support your feet need. Opt for footwear designed with foot balance in mind — with good arch support, cushioning, and stability. Shoes or custom orthotics using balance technology improve foot alignment, lower strain, and help prevent injuries when walking on uneven surfaces.
🦶 Use Custom Insoles or Orthotics
Custom-made insoles based on balance technology help distribute pressure evenly across your feet. This prevents hotspots, blisters, and soreness, which can be worse in summer when feet tend to swell in the heat. Orthotic insoles also support posture and reduce tiredness, so you can enjoy being on your feet longer.
💧 Hydrate and Moisturise Your Feet
Although it’s important to keep your feet dry, summer heat can dry out skin, causing cracks or rough patches. Apply a light, non-greasy moisturiser every day to keep your feet soft and protected. Well-hydrated skin is less likely to get injured or sore, meaning your balance technology footwear or insoles can work at their best.
☀️ Protect Your Feet Outdoors
Whether you’re at the beach, park, or bushwalking, protecting your feet is vital. Avoid walking barefoot on hot sand, rocks, or uneven ground, which can cause blisters, cuts, or sprains. Footwear with dynamic balance features adapts to different surfaces, giving you better stability and reducing the risk of falls or ankle twists.
🩺 Regular Checks and Foot Exercises
Check your feet regularly for any redness, swelling, cuts, or unusual feelings. Catching any problems early prevents complications. Include foot-strengthening exercises recommended by podiatrists or specialists who use foot balance technology to keep muscles toned, flexible, and joints healthy.
