Is Your Foot Summer-Ready? Top Ways to Get Healthier, Happier Feet Before Sandal Season

After a long winter of socks and boots, our feet finally see the light again.
But with that freedom often comes dry skin, cracked heels, or thickened nails that have quietly developed over the colder months.

At Norwest Podiatry, we believe getting your feet ready for summer isn’t just cosmetic, it’s an investment in your comfort, confidence, and overall well being.

Tackle Cracked Heels Before They Split

Winter air and hard flooring dry skin fast. When callus builds and cracks, it can split and become painful or even infected.

Our Medical Pedicures remove hard skin safely with sterile, medical-grade tools and finish with a deep, hydrating heel balm treatment. Patients often tell us it feels like walking on air afterward.

Tip: Apply a urea-based heel balm nightly and wear breathable shoes to prevent re-cracking.

Fungal Nails and Infections. Tackle them early

If your toenails look yellowed, thick, or crumbly, it’s likely fungal. These infections take months to clear, so starting treatment in November means visible results by end of summer”.

Our PACT LED Therapy uses gentle light to kill fungal cells, no medication, no side-effects, just healthier, clearer nails as they grow.

Stop Ingrown Toenails Before They Spoil Summer

Tight shoes or poor trimming can cause the nail edge to dig in, leading to infection.

Our Podiatrists can remove the painful section quickly, often with instant relief, and reshape the nail to prevent recurrence.

For recurring cases, we offer a simple in-clinic corrective procedure that stops it permanently.

Hydrate, Protect and Polish (Clinically!)

Skip the salon polish this summer and give your feet a true refresh.

A Medical Pedicure combines the health benefits of a podiatry treatment with the feel-good results of a spa pedicure, but done under clinical hygiene standards.

It’s safe for everyone, including those living with diabetes or circulation issues, and it’s the perfect “reset” before open shoe season.
