A look at the benefits of running
 As the foot experts our aim is to get you walking pain free. We also work with you to get you running and as the London Marathon approaches again (Sat 26th April 2009) you may be taking part or using it as the impetus to get you moving.
It is natural to run. It is not simply a learnt skill, it is part of life itself. Running brings rewards beyond the triumph of the finishing line. I have never been a fast runner but running is part of our lives. In this age of long life and obesity we need to keep moving.
“We need to eat, to rest but we also need to run.”
Runners always say that if you run you will see a difference between your life with running and without it. With running, they say, you are productive and you give your brain the time and the chance to create new things.

The Pain of High Heels
 I have a male friend who has no sympathy for women who wear heels, then complain about the pain. “Take a Nurofen”, he says advocating a Limo lifestyle, never having to walk far himself in high heels.
He has a point but those of us who wear stilettos know that we like them and like the effect they have on our legs! They make us sway, feel thinner and sexier than without them, a powerful combination.

 Latest Foot Products - Medical Crocs Rx
The Medical Crocs are an advance on the amazingly successful originals. Whole families wear them, kids and adults alike. With specialised material that is reported to be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and odour resistant with silver technology. The designers have named the new range OrthoCloud; another great name for a shoe. These shoes are so comfortable, great for wide feet and with a supportive but cushioning sole that really improves the comfort. Podiatrists and foot experts are now prescribing these in the management of heel pain, diabetic feet and many other foot conditions.
The new ladies shoe (The Silver Fox™) looks and feels great. It is an ultra light shoe with a well formed heeled wedge. Made from one part it looks more like a normal shoe and has a strap to hold them securely on your feet. They are very comfortable.
A note of caution is that whilst they are made of special plastic with special properties they will make feet hot and the real tip here is to buy the real thing as the many copies are just cheap plastic shoes and will make your feet cook.

Shoe of the Month - the Comfortable range
 Whilst the high heels are in competition to be the highest and most difficult to wear, the comfortable shoe designers have been busy. CrocsRx, Birkenstocks, Ugg boots, MBTs and FitFlops.
New to the market is the Winter Fitflop® charmingly called the Billow®. MBTs are still my shoe of choice to get moving in as they are so marvellous at engaging the core muscles and as a busy Mum of three I need all the fitness time saving devices available to me.
I want to start a campaign that any woman wearing a skirt suit be banned from wearing trainers! At least put on a pair of MBTs to show you understand how feet really work and get a core stability workout at the same time!
