Golf and WeTreatFeet Podiatry

 

Golf is a popular sport enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. While it may not seem like a particularly strenuous activity, playing golf can put a lot of stress on your feet, especially if you are wearing the wrong type of shoes. In this article, we will explore how golf shoes can hurt your feet and how WeTreatFeet Podiatry can help you address these issues.

How golf shoes can hurt your feet

Golf shoes are designed to provide support and stability during the golf swing. They are typically made with hard, durable materials like leather and synthetic fibers to withstand the wear and tear of the game. While this may make them sturdy and long-lasting, it can also make them uncomfortable to wear for extended periods.

One of the main ways that golf shoes can hurt your feet is by being too tight. Shoes that are too tight can lead to blisters, calluses, and even toenail injuries. This is because the constant rubbing and pressure can cause friction between the skin and the shoe, leading to painful blisters and calluses. Additionally, if the shoes are too tight, they can restrict blood flow to the feet, which can cause pain and discomfort.

On the other hand, shoes that are too loose can also be problematic. If the shoes do not fit securely, your feet can slide around inside them, which can cause blisters and calluses. Loose shoes can also make it difficult to maintain proper balance and stability during the golf swing, which can lead to injuries.

Another way that golf shoes can hurt your feet is by not providing adequate support. Golf requires a lot of standing, walking, and swinging, which can put a lot of strain on your feet and legs. If your shoes do not provide proper arch support or cushioning, this can lead to pain and discomfort in the feet, knees, and lower back.

How WeTreatFeet Podiatry can help

At WeTreatFeet Podiatry, we understand how important it is to have comfortable and supportive shoes for golf. Our experienced podiatrists can help you address any issues you may be experiencing with your feet while playing golf.

One of the first things we will do is perform a thorough evaluation of your feet. We will examine your feet and look for any issues that may be contributing to your foot pain or discomfort. We may also take X-rays or other diagnostic tests to get a better understanding of your foot anatomy.

Based on our evaluation, we may recommend specific types of golf shoes that are best suited to your feet and your golfing needs. For example, we may suggest shoes that have more cushioning or better arch support to help alleviate pain and discomfort. We may also recommend custom orthotics to provide additional support and stability during the golf swing.

In addition to recommending specific shoes or orthotics, we can also provide tips on proper foot care and shoe selection. For example, we may suggest choosing shoes that are the right size and have adequate cushioning and arch support. We may also recommend shoes made from breathable materials to prevent excessive sweating and foot odor.

Beware the Flip Flops This Summer!

Baltimore Foot Doctor, Baltimore Podiatrist, Comfortable Shoes, Healthy Feet , , , , , , ,

Summer is upon us – cookouts, laying by the pool, strolling around in your favorite flip flops.  It’s a wonderful time of year!

But recent studies are providing a warning concerning our favorite summertime footwear; “While fashionable and fun, flip-flops can actually lead to weakened and fallen foot arches — and that’s just the beginning,” says Dr. Dawn Sears, a New York City doctor of podiatric medicine and surgery. “The danger with flip-flops is that they cause both short-term and long-term harm to your feet.”

Oh no!  Does this mean summer is ruined forever because our dreaded flip flops are going to revolt and destroy all of our feet?!?

No.  Take it easy now.  Even though a press release from Dr. Sears revealed that other serious injuries from flip-flops may include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injury and stress fractures of the long bones in the foot, these injuries normally occur in patients who wear their flip flops all the time.  So here are some tips on how to avoid the flip flop blues:

  • Avoid wearing flip flops 24/7: There is just not enough support for the foot to keep from causing discomfort and possibly long-term damage. Stick to short trips where you won’t be walking all that much, like to the beach and the pool.
  • Avoid wearing flip flops in challenging conditions: All that foot exposure can result in broken toes and toe nails. Never, ever wear them when operating any type of lawn equipment.
  • Don’t forget sunscreen: Feet can get sunburned too!  Don’t forget to put sunscreen down there.
  • Consider your age: If you’re older, you’re more prone to some of the above issues
  • Consider your weight: As you can imagine, bigger people are more prone to foot damage, especially in flip flops

Enjoy your summer but be sure to keep conscious of your footwear!  As always, contact the We Treat Feet Staff with any questions on the above article (or anything else!).
