Corn, callus, or wart — can you tell the difference? 👣

They may look similar, but they’re not the same:

🔹 Corn: Usually small with a firm central core, often caused by pressure or friction.
🔹 Callus: A broader area of thickened skin that develops from repeated pressure or rubbing.
🔹 Plantar wart: Caused by HPV and may appear rough, disrupt normal skin lines, or contain tiny dark dots from thrombosed capillaries.

Because treatment depends on the diagnosis, don’t assume every thick or painful spot is “just a callus.”

Not sure what you’re looking at? Have it evaluated.

🦶 That sudden, red, swollen, incredibly painful big toe may be more than “just foot pain.” It could be GOUT.

Gout occurs when uric acid crystals build up in a joint, triggering intense inflammation. The big-toe joint is a classic location—but gout can affect other joints too.

The good news: gout can be treated. Depending on the patient, treatment may include medications for acute attacks, long-term uric-acid lowering therapy, lifestyle changes, and other options.

For adults with chronic gout that remains uncontrolled despite conventional treatment, KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase) may be an option after appropriate medical evaluation.

🦶 Your feet work hard every day—don’t ignore them!

As podiatrists, we see many foot problems that start with small, everyday habits. Here are 3 common mistakes to avoid:

1️⃣ Wearing the wrong shoes
👟 Choose shoes that fit properly, provide adequate support, and match your activity.

2️⃣ Ignoring foot pain
🚨 Pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Getting evaluated early can help prevent a minor problem from becoming a bigger one.

3️⃣ Neglecting basic foot care
🧼 Keep your feet clean and moisturized, trim your nails properly, and incorporate regular stretching and foot care into your routine.

Your feet carry you through life—take care of them!

🏃‍♂️ 5 RUNNING SHOES RATED BY A PODIATRIST 👣 Sam Mark
Choosing the right running shoes comes down to foot shape, arch structure, and training goals. Here’s my top five recommendations:
🥇 HOKA Clifton 9 — 9.5/10
Best Overall | Max shock absorption with a smooth rocker geometry in a lightweight build.
🥈 On Cloudmonster 2 — 9.0/10
Best Cushioning | Ultra-responsive CloudTec® design built for soft landings on long runs.
🥉 ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 — 8.5/10
Best Comfort | High impact protection made for runners spending serious time on their feet.
4️⃣ New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v13 — 8.0/10
Best Everyday Trainer | Versatile Fresh Foam X cushioning that handles running, walking, and daily wear.
5️⃣ Brooks Ghost 15 — 8.0/10
Best Versatility & Stability | Predictable, stable daily trainer without excessive bulk.
💡 PODIATRIST’S TAKE: There’s no single “best” shoe. Prioritize comfort, arch support, and fit over trends, and replace shoes once cushion or traction wears down.
