What is sports podiatry and what happens at the consultation?
Sports podiatry refers to foot care for people who play sport. The sources cited do not describe which tests or studies a sports podiatry consultation includes or how it proceeds, so this page does not promise any.
What they do cover are guidelines for foot care in sport, aimed at patients with rheumatic disease: knowing your foot type and the sport you play in order to choose footwear, and starting the activity gradually with a warm-up that includes the feet.3 They also recommend examining the feet after playing sport.3
What one source does cover is advice aimed at patients with rheumatic disease who play sport: see a foot specialist if something is not right or if pain appears during or after the activity, to assess whether the activity is suitable or needs insoles or a specific shoe.3 That advice has not been verified here for other athletes, and the sources cited do not detail the adverse effects of insoles or compare custom-made ones with off-the-shelf ones.
Which foot problems are common in people who play sport?
The sources cited do not give a list of common problems or figures on how many athletes suffer from them. They do give useful guidelines for looking after yourself.
The first is to check your feet after training: the SER, in advice for rheumatic patients, lists chafing, blisters, redness, hard skin or cracks as things to look for.3
The second is not to mistake any pain for a passing discomfort. A stress fracture is a break in the bone caused by repetitive strain, different from an acute fracture caused by a blow. In the metatarsals it is more frequent in women and in those who suddenly increase their activity, do activities with a lot of pressure on the feet (running, dancing, jumping, marching) or have osteoporosis, arthritis or loss of sensation in the feet.2
Pain is an early sign. It may appear during activity and disappear with rest, in a broad area of the foot, and over time be present all the time and be stronger in one area, which may be tender and swollen. An X-ray may not show it until 6 weeks later.2
If confirmed, healing can take 4 to 12 weeks. You return to activity when the foot no longer hurts when doing it and by increasing it gradually, stopping and resting if the foot hurts again.2 If the pain does not go away or gets worse, you must contact the professional.2
Does choosing running shoes according to foot type work?
Choosing running shoes according to static foot posture probably makes little or no difference to injuries (moderate certainty), and that evidence has limits worth knowing.1 If you are recommended shoes according to your foot posture, it is worth knowing what that evidence says.
The Cochrane review of running shoes to prevent injuries was carried out in adults. It found no trial comparing running shoes with non-running footwear, and most of its evidence is of low or very low certainty.1
On prescribing the shoe according to static foot posture, it probably makes little or no difference to injuries compared with a shoe not prescribed in that way (moderate certainty). The trials were in military recruits, so the result may be different in recreational runners.1
Between types of shoe (soft versus hard sole, cushioned versus minimalist), most of the evidence does not show fewer injuries, and the real effect of the type of shoe on injuries is unknown, with low to very low certainty.1
There is also advice from the SER, aimed only at rheumatic patients: know your foot type and the sport you play in order to choose footwear, one with good cushioning and absorption, especially in impact sports or on hard surfaces, and start the activity gradually with a warm-up that includes the feet.3 The sources cited do not detail adverse effects of choosing one footwear or another.
When should you see the podiatrist about pain when playing sport?
Seek advice if you have any of these signs. The sources cited do not include emergency criteria specific to sport, and the SER advice is for people with rheumatic disease.
- Pain after an injury: do not resume sport until it has completely resolved, according to the SER for rheumatic patients.3
- Pain during or after the activity: a foot specialist can assess whether the activity is suitable, according to the SER for rheumatic patients.3
- Pain that appears with activity and disappears with rest in a broad area of the foot: according to MedlinePlus, it is an early sign of a stress fracture of a metatarsal.2
- Constant pain, stronger in a tender or swollen area: according to MedlinePlus, it is also a sign of that fracture.2
- It does not improve with home care: the pain does not go away or gets worse.2
Options compared
| Option | What the sources say | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing the running shoe according to foot posture | In adults, prescribing it according to static foot posture probably makes little or no difference to injuries (moderate certainty), with trials only in military recruits. | The certainty is moderate and the trials were in military recruits, so it may be different in recreational runners. The sources cited do not detail adverse effects. |
| Choosing a specific type of shoe (soft or hard sole, cushioned or minimalist) | Most of the evidence does not show fewer injuries between types of shoe. | The real effect of the type of shoe is unknown, with low to very low certainty. |
| Insoles or a specific shoe | The SER advises rheumatic patients to have a foot specialist assess whether the activity is suitable or needs insoles or a specific shoe. | It is advice for people with rheumatic disease, and the sources cited do not compare insoles with usual footwear or detail their adverse effects. |
Signs to seek care without waiting
- Pain after an injury: do not go back to sport until it has fully resolved, according to the SER for rheumatic patients.
- Pain during or after activity: a foot specialist can assess whether the activity is suitable, according to the SER for rheumatic patients.
- Pain that appears with activity and goes away with rest over a wide area of the foot: according to MedlinePlus, it is an early sign of a stress fracture of a metatarsal.
- Constant pain, stronger over a tender or swollen area: according to MedlinePlus, it is also a sign of that fracture.
- Not improving with home care: the pain does not go away or gets worse.

Frequently asked questions
What should I check on my feet after playing sport?
The Sociedad Española de Reumatología advises rheumatic patients to examine their feet after sport (chafing, blisters, redness, hard skin or cracks) and to see a foot specialist if pain appears during or after the activity. The sources cited do not verify this for other athletes.
Can foot pain when running be a fracture?
It can: pain that appears with activity and then becomes constant and stronger in one area is an early sign of a stress fracture of a metatarsal, and an X-ray may not show it until 6 weeks later.
When can I get back to training after a stress fracture?
When the foot no longer hurts when doing so, increasing activity gradually, stopping and resting if the foot hurts again.
