🧐 TRUTH OR MYTH?

“Corns and calluses are the same thing.”

❌ MYTH!

While both are areas of thickened skin caused by repeated pressure or friction, they aren't quite the same.

👣 Calluses are usually broader areas of thickened skin.

👣 Corns are typically smaller and more concentrated, often forming over or between the toes.

And if they're painful, don't just keep shaving them down at home—there may be an underlying pressure point that needs to be addressed.

💬 Have you ever wondered what that spot on your foot actually was?

Move More Monday: Balance Challenge 👣

Your feet play a huge role in keeping you balanced—but balance is something you can practice!

Try this simple challenge today:

👣 Stand near a counter or sturdy chair
⏱️ Balance on one foot for 20 seconds
🔄 Switch sides
💪 Repeat 2–3 times

As you get better, try doing it while brushing your teeth!

Safety first: Keep something nearby to hold onto if needed.

💬 How long can you balance on one foot?

🧠 Foot Fact Friday

Your foot arch isn’t just for support—it also acts like a spring, helping return energy with each step 👣

When that system isn’t working well, your body has to work harder to move.

👟 Support + strength = better efficiency

💬 Did you know your feet help “push” you forward like that?

👟 QUICK TIP THURSDAY

When trying on shoes, always check the thumb width rule 👍

➡️ You should have about a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe

Too tight = pressure
Too loose = instability

👣 SPOT THE PROBLEM

You finish a long day and notice:
• One foot hurts more than the other
• Your shoes wear unevenly
• You feel off-balance when walking

These can be signs your feet aren’t functioning evenly 👀

👟 Small imbalances can lead to bigger issues over time

💬 Have you ever noticed uneven wear on your shoes?

🧐 Truth or Myth?
“Bigger shoes are better if your feet hurt.”

❌ Myth!

Shoes that are too big can cause slipping, instability, and friction, leading to blisters and discomfort.

✔️ Proper fit = secure heel + room in the toes (not extra everywhere)

👣 The right size matters more than you think

💬 Have you ever sized up for comfort?

Move More Monday!

Your feet warm up just like the rest of your body 👣

Jumping straight into activity without loosening up can increase strain on your arches and tendons.

💡 Quick pre-movement tip:
• Ankle circles (10 each way)
• Toe stretches for 30 seconds

👟 A 2-minute warm-up can make a big difference

💬 Do you usually warm up… or go right into it?

🧠 Foot Fact Friday

Your feet help absorb shock with every step—but hard surfaces (like concrete) increase that impact significantly 👣

👟 That’s why footwear choice matters even more on certain surfaces.

💡 The right support can reduce stress traveling up your legs and back.

💬 Are you on hard floors most of the day or softer surfaces?

🤔 WOULD YOU RATHER (Foot Edition)

A: Wear shoes that are slightly too tight all day
B: Wear shoes that are too loose all day

Both can cause problems… but one tends to lead to more irritation 👀

👣 Fit matters more than most people think!

💬 A or B—what are you choosing?
