Reviews

After more than 25 years of treating feet and reading about treating feet, I've found nothing, absolutely nothing, as helpful as Fixing Your Feet.
—Buck Tilton, MS, cofounder of the Wilderness Medicine Institute of NOLS

From heels to toes, products to pathology, resources to rehabilitation, this book has it all. An essential guide.
—Runner's World

As a veteran of more than 80 marathons as well as ultramarathons up to 100 miles, and being a podiatrist for 18 years, I thought I knew it all. John’s comprehensive approach of asking the so-called medical experts as well as the real experts out in the trenches for their tried-and-true advice will bring you more value for your endurance event than a podiatry degree ever will.

Just about everything I have learned and passed on about working on endurance athletes’ and soldiers’ feet I have learned from watching John completely and patiently repair blistered feet that I would have considered candidates for amputation.

This is it—the best book ever written on foot care. Everyone who has been bothered by foot problems or wants to prevent them should own this book.
—Bill Trolan, MD, author of the Blister Fighter Guide and medical consultant to adventure racing teams
