Ep155 Foot & Ankle Injuries: Shoes On or Off?

Twisted ankle. Severe foot pain. Shoes and socks still on—what should a first aider do?

In this episode, we tackle a common question after foot and ankle injuries: leave the shoe on or carefully remove it?

 

Learn why proper assessment matters, what injuries can be hidden inside footwear, and how careful shoe removal can help with treatment, ice application, splinting, and patient comfort.

 

Because you can’t properly treat what you can’t properly see.
