As summer comes to an end and the weather starts to cool, many of us begin swapping sandals and open footwear for trainers, boots and enclosed autumn shoes.

While changing your footwear may seem like a simple seasonal switch, it can also highlight foot problems that have been easy to ignore during the warmer months.

If your feet have been neglected over summer, now could be the perfect time to give them some professional attention before autumn footwear becomes part of your everyday routine.

Check Your Toenails

Toenails can become thick, difficult to cut or uncomfortable inside enclosed shoes. If your nails have changed over the summer or you have been struggling to manage them yourself, professional foot care can help.

Getting your toenails checked before you start wearing boots and closed shoes regularly can also help you address any concerns early.

Don’t Ignore Hard Skin and Corns

Sandals, walking barefoot and changes in footwear can all contribute to areas of hard skin, corns and calluses.

Once you start wearing enclosed shoes again, pressure and friction can make these areas more noticeable or uncomfortable.

If you already have hard skin or recurring corns, autumn is a good time to consider professional chiropody treatment.

Are Your Feet Ready for Enclosed Shoes?

Your feet may feel different when moving from open summer footwear to socks, trainers and boots. Shoes that feel tight or rub against areas of concern can contribute to discomfort.

Make sure your autumn footwear fits comfortably and gives your toes enough room. If you are already experiencing foot discomfort, don’t simply hope that changing shoes will solve the problem.

Give Your Feet Some Professional Attention

Seasonal changes are a useful reminder to check your feet and deal with problems you may have been putting off.

Whether you have troublesome toenails, hard skin, corns, calluses or another recurring foot concern, professional foot care can help you keep your feet comfortable as you move into autumn.
