What's inside the free guide
Two printable pages, designed to be simple enough to use every single day.
A daily what-to-look-for list
The ten things to check each day — from cuts and blisters to color changes, warm spots, and new numbness.
Know when to call
Plain-language guidance on what can wait for a phone call to your provider versus what needs care right away.
A weekly tracker
A simple record of each day's check for both feet — something concrete to bring to your next appointment.
Written by a nurse
Created by registered nurses who provide foot care in patients' homes every week — not generic internet advice.
RN
CFCS
Created by the registered nurses at RNscrub Foot Care, providing in-home nursing foot care across Orange County and Santa Clara County. This guide is foot-care education and does not replace advice from your own physician or podiatrist.
Who should use this daily check?
This guide is especially important for individuals in higher-risk categories where small foot issues can escalate quickly.
