One-Minute Book Review

The Foot Book: Everything You Need to Know to Take Care of Your Feet (Podiatry, Self-Care, Pain Relief) – by Dr. Todd Brennan & Dr. Leslie Johnston

This book really is what the subtitle claims it to be: “everything you need to know to take care of your feet”.

Arthritis, bunions, corns, diabetes, eczema, fungus, gout, heel pain, ingrown toenails, joint issues, and that’s just one item for each of the first 10 letters of the alphabet.

There’s a lot in here; the point is that it covers everything from the “serious” to the “cosmetic”, so whether you want to be a foot model for an expensive perfume company or just want to walk without pain, the answer is probably in here.

The goal of this book is to be comprehensive like that, and also with an open agenda to educate the world as to what it actually is that podiatrists do (hint: their years of medical school and further training in residency are not just so that they can trim toenails nicely).

The style is very light and readable, as one might expect from a pair of doctors with many years of experience of explaining exactly these things to patients every day.

Bottom line: if you have feet and would like them to be/remain in good condition, this book is an invaluable resource!
