Question of the Month

By: Judy A. Kleman DPM

It's getting warm out, what things should I consider when choos-ing an open toe shoe?

(or Spring Toes are Peeking)

It is that time of year again, when we want to kick off our shoes and show off our toes. While wearing sandals and other cute shoes can complete an outfit, it is very important to be sure this foot wear fits your foot properly. When choosing shoe gear you want to be sure to support your foot. Pick shoes with a firm sole and support in the arch. Flip-flops are a poor option as they tend to be flimsy and provide no support to the foot. Shoes should have a thick sole to protect the bottom of the foot from sharp rocks, foreign objects, or even insects. Additionally, they can be difficult to stay on the foot while walking as it relies on toe power to remain on the foot. This type of abnormal walking can create excess strain to other ligaments, tendons, and muscles in your foot which, in turn, can cause pain. In addition, it is important to purchase foot wear that fits your foot. Do not wear shoes that are too short, narrow, or uncomfortable no matter how amazing they look on your feet.

If you are diabetic, have circulation problems, or any numbness to your feet, wearing sandals may not be a good option. Wearing an athletic shoe may instead be more beneficial for your foot health. It is important to shield your feet from injury to avoid potential wounds. Such wounds have the potential for infections, which are not attractive. Be sure to be fitted for shoes if you have any type of foot disorder as this can help avoid other foot maladies.

As your podiatrists we do understand how important it is to dress appro-priately for all occasions. We like fashionable shoes as well. However finding a balance between attractive and functional is important. Be sure to ask your doctor for shoe recommendations on your next visit.

-Fruits and vegetables from your own garden are higher in nutrients than the ones that have traveled several

thousand miles to get to your grocery store.

-Growing your own fruits and vegetables will save you money at the grocery store

-Having your children assist you in the garden can increase the chance that they will eat more of the fruits and

vegetables they have helped to grow.

-Gardening gives you the opportunity to give back. If you have an abundant garden, you might give some of

your produce to the local soup kitchen or food bank

-The fruits and vegetables grown in your garden will promote health because they are rich in nutrients, espe-

cially in phytochemicals, anti-oxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A and folate.
