Sandal Season Secrets: How to Get Summer-Ready Feet

As the temperature rises, so does the pressure to bring out those open-toed shoes and strappy sandals. But if your feet have been hiding in socks and boots all winter long, chances are… they’re not quite ready for the spotlight. The good news? It’s never too late to give your feet the summer glow-up they deserve.

We believe beautiful feet are healthy feet, so we're sharing our favorite secrets to help you get summer-ready feet!

Tips on How to Get Summer-Ready Feet

1. Start with a Deep Clean

Winter can leave a buildup of dead skin, dry patches, and even calluses. A professional pedicure is the perfect jumpstart to remove rough spots and smooth out cracked heels. For serious buildup, our waterless pedicure treatments are designed to go beyond the surface and restore your feet to their softest, healthiest state.

Pro tip: If your heels are cracked and dry, avoid soaking them too long at home—this can actually make them worse. Instead, opt for targeted exfoliation and moisture.

2. Trim and Treat Those Toenails

Long, thickened, or discolored nails need extra care before they meet the sunlight. Nail fungus, trauma, or improper trimming can cause embarrassing nail issues. Thankfully, our nail techs are trained in advanced restorative care to gently reduce thickness, reshape damaged nails, and improve overall nail health.

If you suspect fungal issues, we carry Imperial Feet and Gehwol treatments available at the spa and online to help manage and renew nail health effectively.

3. Hydrate Like You Mean It

Dry feet aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they can lead to peeling, cracks, and even infection. Daily foot moisturizers with urea or herbal extracts (like those from Gehwol) help keep the skin supple and protected from summer exposure. Apply before bed and wear cotton socks overnight for an ultra-hydrating treatment!

4. Fight Odor and Fungus Before It Starts

With higher temps come higher chances of sweaty feet, odor, and athlete’s foot. Don’t wait until it’s a problem—prevent it with an antifungal spray or deodorizing foot powder. We recommend Gehwol Foot + Shoe Deodorant Spray for daily freshness and odor control.

5. Don’t Neglect Your Soles

Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t matter! The bottoms of your feet are prime spots for calluses and discomfort, especially in sandals with little arch support. Ask about our Remedi Pedi Treatments that gently dissolve built-up skin while protecting healthy tissue.

Final Thought: Your Feet Deserve a Spa Day

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry—we’ve got your back (and your soles). Whether it’s your first pedi of the season or you’re dealing with serious foot concerns, our team at Remedi Nail Spa is here to help you look and feel your best this summer.
