1. My favorite new orthotics for my slip-in Sketchers, Crocs, and operating room clogs are my Lyncos orthotics made by Aetrex. While not as rigid and supportive as custom made functional orthotics, they are a great alternative for times when I need a second pair to keep in an extra pair of shoes that I keep in my gym locker for after my workouts, my gym bag for after my running (i.e. when I wear my Crocs), and in my locker in the O.R. I love them and highly recommend them.
2. My favorite new running shoes from Asics, the GEL Trabuco GT-X. They are light-weight, supportive, and made for trail running. They have a waterproof Gortex upper that is breathable and very comfortable. When I first tried them on, it felt like I was walking on pillows.
3. My new favorite workout socks, Juzo Silver Sole Socks. These socks are ideal for athletes and for those who spend hours on their feet. They are comfortable, provide compression, have a cushioned sole, and help to eliminate germs and odors. I like the ankle length socks for working out and running.

4. My new favorite foot cream for dry, cracked skin on my heels, especially during the winter months when everyone's skin gets dry called Calicylic Cream made by Gormel Labs. I love this cream, and so does every patient of mine who has tried it. It makes my feet feel like I just had a pedicure.
5. Dr.'s Remedy Enriched Nail Polishes which protect nails from fungal infections. While most pedicures and nail polishes put toenails at risk for potential fungal infections, this nail polish does the opposite. Plus, it comes in 16 different colors and contains vitamin E & C, wheat protein, tea tree oil, and garlic bulb extract. Who doesn't love a good pedicure, anyway?
