Foot Care Tips for Summer: Keep Your Soles Smooth & Happy
Between the flip-flops, heatwaves, and all that barefoot lounging, your feet go through a lot in the summer. At Dr. Johnny’s, we know dry, cracked heels aren’t just uncomfortable—they’re also your body’s way of waving a little red flag 🚩 that it’s time to pay attention.
Here’s how to show your feet some love this season (without adding another 10 steps to your routine).
1. Moisturize Like You Mean It
Hot weather dries out the skin—especially on your heels. The fix? A real foot cream (not your leftover hand lotion).
👣 Our moisturizing foot cream is doctor-designed to be fast-absorbing and non-greasy, with peppermint for a little tingle and a lot of relief.
Pro tip: Apply right before bed and wear non-binding socks to lock in hydration overnight.
2. Don’t Skip the Socks
Yes, even in summer. Compression socks help reduce swelling from heat and long days on your feet—while diabetic socks offer breathable comfort without any pressure.
🧦 Choose what works best for you:
- Compression Socks: For travel, long shifts, and swelling relief
- Diabetic Socks: For sensitive feet, neuropathy, or just everyday softness
Psst... Our socks are moisture-wicking and cotton-blend—so your feet stay cool, not sweaty.
3. Give Your Feet a Break
Avoid walking barefoot on hot pavement or pool decks. Not only can this dry out your skin, but it can also increase your risk of fungal infections or cracks. Ew.
Slip into sandals or breathable shoes when possible—just make sure they’re supportive!
4. Check Your Feet (Especially if You Have Diabetes)
Summer is the season of exposure. That means more chances to catch a small cut or blister before it becomes something serious.
👀 Take a quick look at your feet daily, especially if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or neuropathy.
5. Bundle Up and Save
