Introduction

One thing that my wife and I truly enjoy doing is traveling. We both agree that the best way to expand our knowledge of other cultures is to travel and get to know the people in their native land.

The Impact of Travel on Foot Health

Traveling can be very exciting and adventurous, but nothing ruins a good trip more than foot pain. Foot pain is very common for travelers as traveling generally requires a person to walk or stand more than they normally would during a regular day. At Mirage Podiatry, we commonly see patients after they return from a vacation due to some nagging foot or ankle pain that started during a trip.

Prevent Foot Pain with the Right Footwear

My best recommendation for patients that are leaving for a trip is to pack the correct shoes. Personally, I never leave for a trip without my running shoes and custom orthotics. Good running shoes and custom orthotics provide the best support, and I always remember to pack my Asics and Orthotics on every trip.

Avoiding Common Foot Problems

Many times, travelers make the mistake of not wearing supportive shoes and orthotics when they are walking during a trip. This usually leads to inflammation in the foot joints and many times, stress fractures. The best way to avoid foot pain is to pack the correct shoes.
