Dr. Brad Recommends

If you have serious foot issues or pain, make an appointment with a podiatrist like Dr. Brad or Dr. Ebonie from My Feet Are Killing Me. But for everyday foot care, Dr. Brad shared his picks for the best over-the-counter products, shoes, socks and more.

Dr. Scholl's Performance Insoles

"As a podiatrist, I feel that insoles are a must-have! Whether I am in the office or in surgery, I have Dr. Scholl’s inserts in my shoes! I feel they are extremely supportive and provide me with support and comfort throughout my long day. These Performance inserts are what I personally use when I am going for a run. I love to workout and running has always been a passion of mine! Dr. Scholl’s provides the perfect arch support throughout our running stride or gait cycle and will help relieve and prevent pain."

BUY IT: Amazon, $39.97

Brooks Ghost Running Shoes

"I always tell my patients that they need to find a shoe that provides them with all-day support! Brooks “Ghost” running shoes have been my personal favorite the past few years and I never felt better during a run. They provide the needed stability our feet deserve from heel strike to toe-off! This is critical to a great running motion."

BUY IT: Brooks, $130.00

Feetures Running Socks

"When I am going for a run, I not only choose the best inserts (Dr. Scholls) and shoes (Brooks), I also choose the best socks! I personally use Feetures socks because they prevent the rubbing of my shoe on my heel and provide the support I need. These socks are very snug without restricting blood flow and n never slide down my shoe throughout the day!"

BUY IT: Feetures, $15.00

Dermatonics Manuka Honey Heel Balm

"I love making sure my patients have baby-smooth feet. Dermatonics natural heel balm is my go-to for my patients. This contains New Zealand Manuka Honey that hydrates and draws moisture into your skin, which is great for people with dry feet!"

BUY IT: Ebay, $16.99

Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Cream

"Sweaty feet can be so embarrassing! When I was younger my feet would sweat non-stop! I wish I had this antiperspirant cream back then. The antiperspirant will help prevent the sweat and perspiration that we get throughout a long day. I feel if you prevent the sweat then we can prevent the odor!"

BUY IT: Carpe, $19.95

Dr Scholl’s Ultra Odor Flighting Spray

"Nobody wants smelly feet! For years doctors have been trying everything to prevent odor! Dr. Scholl's came out with an odor-fighting foot spray which is so easy to apply and will help everyone get rid of that stinky problem! I love this product and even use it myself!"

BUY IT: Amazon, $5.79

Doc Miller Compression Socks

"During surgery, I always wear these compression socks. They feel great and provide me with the improved circulation that I need while standing for long periods of time. These are also great for desk jobs and on airplanes!"

BUY IT: Amazon, $13.26-$30.00

Gdefy Gravity Defying Shoes

"I recommend a bunch of shoes to my patients. Gdefy shoes have recently been at the top! They treat a variety of conditions and help offload your feet in a great “gravity-defying” way! Hence the name GDEFY: “gravity defyer”."

BUY IT: Gravity Defyer, $135.00

Jaanuu Scrubs

"I have been wearing baggy scrubs for a long time! People in the medical profession always thought this was the only option. Jaanuu came out with a form-fitting, stretchy, and comfortable all day scrub! These are fashionable and functional. They have lots of pockets to hold all my gear and I feel like I can do it all in these scrubs!"

BUY IT: Jaanuu, $27.00
