Some reasons why women have more issues with their feet, with aging

👣 Foot and heel problems are common among middle-aged women due to several factors that often coincide during this stage of life:

📌 Natural Aging Process: As we age, our skin loses moisture and elasticity, leading to dryness and cracking, especially on the heels and soles.

📌 Increased Weight: Middle-aged women may experience weight gain, which can put additional pressure on the feet and heels, leading to issues like plantar fasciitis or heel spurs.

📌 Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can affect bone density and weaken ligaments, contributing to conditions such as flat feet or arthritis.

📌 Footwear Choices: Years of wearing high heels or shoes with inadequate support can cause alignment issues, bunions, or corns, exacerbating foot discomfort.

📌 Lifestyle Factors: Active lifestyles or prolonged periods of standing can strain the feet, leading to conditions like Achilles tendonitis or stress fractures.

📌 Health Conditions: Certain health conditions, such as diabetes or circulation problems, become more prevalent with age and can impact foot health.

Addressing these factors through proper foot care, including regular moisturization, supportive footwear, and seeking professional advice from a podiatrist, can help mitigate and manage foot and heel problems in middle-aged women.

Running shoe innovation keeps hotting up! Helen Obiri (pictured looking far too fresh her daughter post race) won the Boston marathon in a new laceless prototype super shoe by ON. ON currently one of the most innovative shoe brands. It is reported that this shoe was 3D printed to match Helen’s foot perfectly and didn’t require laces. Amazing. It should be noted Helen is highly credentialed runner and a ‘super shoe’ is no substitute for her serious talent and hard work.

It’s an Olympic year! Just a little reminder of this wonderful advert from Nike for the 2012 Olympics. Nike was not allowed to use any Olympic athletes due to advertising rights restrictions, so they came up with the still famous ‘find your greatness’ ad campaign. A reminder that anyone can benefit regular exercise. Worth a watch

Nike: Find Your Greatness Nike's 2012 "Find Your Greatness" campaign. Bravo!
