Wearing well-fitting shoes isn’t just about comfort—it’s crucial for overall health. Poorly fitted footwear can lead to issues like blisters, bunions, plantar fasciitis, and even long-term posture problems. At The Comfort Co., we emphasize the importance of proper fit, offering adjustable footwear and technology-driven solutions to ensure every step supports your well-being.

Cracked heels, or fissures, occur due to pressure and dryness in the thickened skin around the heel. They’re often caused by open-heel shoes, medical conditions, certain medications, barefoot walking, excess weight, and environmental factors. Left untreated, cracks can lead to infection, especially for diabetics or those with nerve damage.

Podiatrists can safely remove thickened skin and recommend treatments like wax baths, pumice stones, and urea-based creams to restore moisture and prevent future fissures. Keeping your heels hydrated and supported is key to avoiding discomfort and complications.

Blisters form due to friction, moisture, or pressure, often from ill-fitting shoes. Prevent them by ensuring a perfect fit with tools like Aetrex Footscan and SizeRight. If a blister does form, keep it clean and avoid popping it to prevent infection. And if your shoes aren’t quite right, our easy return policy has you covered!
