81. Summer Foot Pain Relief for Moms: Better Shoes for Walking, Standing & Events

Maycember is here, summer is starting, and suddenly your calendar is packed with graduations, field days, cookouts, beach trips, and long days on your feet. And if your feet are hurting more than usual—you’re not imagining it. In this episode, we’re talking about why foot pain, heel pain, and plantar fasciitis tend to spike this time of year, and how your shoe choices may be playing a bigger role than you think. You’ll learn: Why long standing + walking events flare up foot and heel pain in moms The connection between flip flops, instability, and foot fatigue Why heels (and even cute sandals) can increase load on your back and feet if you’re not used to them Why platforms with less slope are often a better option than traditional heels for events How heat, swelling, and long days change what your feet actually need A simple strategy for packing “cute shoes + backup comfort shoes” so you’re prepared for anything We also talk about something most moms don’t think about: your feet are doing more work than you realize when support is missing. Small changes in shoe selection can significantly reduce fatigue by the end of the day. Because this season isn’t just busy—it’s physically demanding. And your body deserves support through it all. Small tweaks really do make a big difference. 🤍 🤍 Work With Me Book a free 20-minute discovery call to figure out your next best step. 👉 Book your call here   Check out the website: 👉 amandarabincoach.co   Follow me on Instagram for daily ergonomic tips and mom-life hacks: 👉 @dr.amanda_ergocoach 🤍 Join the free Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms Facebook community for more practical tips and support. 👉 Join here Don’t forget — you can also download my free ebook for even more quick, practical tips to reduce pain while mothering: 👉Download the ebook here Before you shop: some links are affiliate links.
