"The authors do describe their goal in the preface as providing information to those in need of podiatric care; the book can serve as a good guide to readers in that group, as it contains general basic information on a wide range of disorders."? Choice , reviewing a previous edition "It's said that when your feet hurt you hurt all over, and this is so true. As an athlete and competitive figure skater since the age of six, I have suffered my fair share of foot ailments. Over the years I have had broken toes, metatarsal stress fractures, ankle sprains, plantarfasciitis, stubbed toes, and countless blisters. My poor feet had one great advantage: my father happens to be a foot doctor! He guided my feet through each injury with the advice I needed to heal. The next best thing to having your personal foot doctor as a dad is to own The Foot Book , by Drs. Rose and Martorana. This comprehensive book will provide you with the important information that you need to stay foot healthy.

I recommend The Foot Book for anyone who wants to keep their feet happy."?Kimmie Meissner, World Figure Skating Champion, United States National Champion, Olympian, reviewing a previous edition.
