Travel and your Feet

Travel can put excessive amounts of stress on your feet.  A little preparation prior to your trip can make travel more comfortable and fun.  See us before your trip so we can advise you on shoes and foot health so that you can make the most of your vacation. 

Following a complete examination, we will provide advice that will help keep you comfortable and healthy on your trip.  Some items we often discuss with travelers include:

• Preventing common travel related foot and ankle problems
• Proper shoes
• Proper socks
• First aid for problems if they occur

If your examination shows that you would benefit from OTC arch supports or custom orthotics, then we will recommend the very best device for your feet. 

It is best to come in several months before your trip, but we can help even the day before.  Don’t let foot pain interfere with travel.
