⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Kay 💙

“Five stars aren't enough to express my gratitude for my first visit to Foot Focus Podiatry Mount Merrion. Michael was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly thorough, explaining everything clearly and patiently. I never felt pressured, just genuinely cared for and supported. His expertise and kind demeanour made what could have been an uncomfortable experience incredibly positive and informative. I left feeling confident and excited about my treatment plan. Highly recommend!”

Back on the trails this autumn

Autumn in Dublin is made for walking. Ticknock, the Hellfire Club, Howth Head, the Bull Wall at Dollymount.

If the longer walks drifted over the summer, building back gradually makes the season more enjoyable:
• Start with routes close to recent distances
• Add a little more each week
• Wear new boots in on shorter routes first
• Pack a spare pair of dry socks

A podiatry check is worth booking if feet tire sooner than they used to, or if skin, nails or footwear keep getting in the way of a good walk.

Mark, Ste and the team are at our Finglas and Mount Merrion clinics. No GP referral needed.

Cracked heels and thick nails are just part of winter.

It's a common myth. Cold air, central heating and long days in closed shoes can dry skin out quickly. That doesn't mean waiting until spring to do something about it.

A routine podiatry appointment is calm and practical. It can include gently reducing hard skin, trimming and thinning nails that are tricky to manage at home, and advice on a moisturising routine that suits the season.

A simple tip: apply a urea-based foot cream to the heels each evening, keeping it away from the skin between the toes.

Well-cared-for feet make it easier to stay active for the things that matter.

Thicker winter socks change how boots fit.

Swapping trainers for boots this month? Thicker socks and chunkier footwear can quietly take up the room toes need.

A pair that felt fine in spring with thin socks may now feel snug across the toes or at the heel.

Small signs worth noticing:
• Red marks on the toes after taking boots off
• Sock seams pressing into the skin
• Toes rubbing or curling on longer walks

A quick tip: try last year's boots on with this year's winter socks, ideally later in the day when feet are at their fullest.

Comfortable feet make it easier to keep up the walks, school runs and weekend plans all season.

This week we’ve talked about heel pain, ingrown toenails and pain in the ball of the foot. One thing kept coming up every time: shoes. 👟 Narrow toe boxes, flat soles with no support, the wrong length or a pair that’s simply worn out can all quietly add load your feet weren’t built to handle. Try our 30-second check tonight. A thumb’s width past your longest toe, a heel that doesn’t slip, and the widest part of your foot lined up with the widest part of the shoe.

Still sore after changing shoes for two weeks? Book online at footfocus.ie, Finglas or Mount Merrion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Norman 💙

“I'm in my late 70s and over the years I have had many people look at my feet. I got some good experiences but became somewhat disillusioned because of the sales focus to replace the orthotics in my shoes, and suggestions to buy new shoes. Given my background I self-diagnosed my issue as arthritis. Eventually I took my wife's advice and went to Foot Focus Mount Merrion, Stillorgan. I found them to be professional in their appraisal and felt comfortable and reassured in their diagnosis, treatment and their guide for future foot management. Happy days, I am walking again, no pain in my feet or my pocket!”

What are the BEST shoes for plantar fasciitis?

The three things our podiatrists look for. 👟 A cushioned heel, a moderate heel-to-toe drop, and proper arch support.

Quality runners from reputable brands generally tick all three. What to avoid: flat shoes, ballet pumps, and unsupportive slippers, especially for your first steps in the morning, when the fascia is at its most irritated. And stop walking barefoot on hard floors at home.

It is one of the biggest hidden aggravators we see. For footwear advice specific to your feet, plus Phits 3D-printed custom orthotics where needed, book a biomechanical assessment at Foot Focus Podiatry, Dublin. Link in bio. 📍

Orthotics in Dublin: What Most People Get Wrong

If you have been told you need orthotics, you are probably wondering whether they are really necessary. 🦶

Our new guide clears up the biggest misconceptions we hear in Dublin. Orthotics are not a lifelong crutch, and they are not one-size-fits-all inserts off a shop shelf.

Done properly they are a precise tool, prescribed from your Footscan gait data and, in our clinic, 3D-printed by Phits to your feet, used alongside strengthening so you often need them less over time, not more.

The goal is to fix the cause, not to sell you insoles. Read the full guide on the blog, then book a biomechanical assessment at our Finglas or Mount Merrion clinic, no GP referral needed. Link in bio. 📍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Andrea 💙

“Sofie at Foot Focus was fantastic! She recognised very quickly what the issue was, after three other healthcare professionals couldn't tell me what it was. She explained everything and recommended a treatment plan. She even provided written information to take home.”

Why does your ingrown toenail keep coming back?

Because the underlying cause, the shape or width of the nail, has not been addressed. 🔁 Trimming gives temporary relief, but the nail regrows the same way. Every. Single. Time.

The permanent fix is a Partial Nail Avulsion with phenolisation: we remove only the problem edge of the nail and treat that section of the root so it cannot regrow. Around 95% success rate.

One procedure, done properly, is usually the last one you will ever need. Prevention tip from our podiatrists: cut your nails following the natural curvature of the nail.
