#Shoe #Drive So Others #Thrive
Progressive Foot Care's 16th Annual Holiday Shoe Drive for the Homeless has begun. This year we are partnering with The United way of Rockland, Catholic Charities of Rockland, and The United Way of Westchester and Putnam. Footwear, especially children's boots and sneakers, can be dropped off at either office location until December 15th. Please help us once again to support those in need in our community.
Why do we conduct an annual shoe drive? It is to give back to the community that we serve and help the less fortunate. All too often, when we are on call at the local hospitals, we see patients with frostbite in their feet. By providing them with footwear, at least we can try to help protect their feet from the ice and snow of winter. Many frostbite cases result in amputation of toes, feet, or legs. Amputations are costly and traumatic, with long-reaching social, physical, and emotional concerns. We hope to reduce amputations and help people keep their feet healthy and protected from the harsh elements of winter.

Recently, I was quoted regarding footwear for nurses and shoe hygiene:
FOOTWEAR FACTS by Dr. D-LuCS: Doctor Designed Luxury Custom Shoes
Innovative | Bespoke | Ultimate Footwear
"Empowering Women From the Ground Up!"
On 10/13/23, Daniel Rodgers writes in vogue.com, that the actress Jennifer Lawrence often wears ballet flats or some type of flat shoe: https://www.vogue.com/.../jennifer-lawrence-cropped-jeans... While flats are very convenient to wear, and a popular footwear choice for women, they are very unsupportive. Wearing flats often can lead to various types of foot pain, such as metatarsalgia (pain at the ball of the foot), blisters, and ankle sprains.
At Dr. D-LuCS, we have been creating custom made shoes for nearly a decade. There are many different styles from which to choose, depending upon your preferences. We utilize a high-tech approach with a fluoroscope and diagnostic sonogram to evaluate your feet for any notable abnormalities, as well as a full biomechanical examination of both feet and ankles. Our computerized gait analysis (CSGI) reveals whether or not there are any concerns with your walking pattern that need to be accounted for in the footwear design. While you choose the actual footwear style, we assist you in the design, adding a customized orthotic to enhance the support and comfort of your bespoke shoes. Please E-mail us today for a complimentary consultation: [email protected].
We all at Progressive Foot Care and Dr. D-LuCS wish you a pleasant fall season. Please help us to support the less fortunate by donating footwear, especially children's boots and sneakers, at either of our office locations. Taking good care of your feet can be your first step towards good health. Remember, your feet are the foundation for your body.
Yours in good health,
Dr. Bruce Pinker, DPM, AACFAS, FAPWCA, DABPM, FACPM
