Why Foot Health Matters for Your Patients

As a carer, your role in ensuring the well-being of those you support is invaluable. One of the most overlooked aspects of overall health is foot care. Proper footwear can prevent falls, improve mobility, and reduce pain. Whether your patients are elderly, disabled, or have specific medical conditions, the right shoes can make a world of difference.

Our wide range of footwear caters to swollen feet allowing feet to feel not tight but comfortable

Preventing Falls with Proper Footwear

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among elderly and disabled individuals. Many falls occur due to ill-fitting, slippery, or unsupportive shoes. At Barefoot Freedom, we provide specialized orthopaedic footwear designed to:

  • Enhance stability with non-slip soles
  • Support natural foot alignment
  • Reduce pain and discomfort
  • Offer easy fastenings for those with limited mobility

Tip for Carers: Regularly check your patient’s footwear. Worn-out soles, loose-fitting shoes, or inadequate support can increase fall risks.
