There is still summer outside, hot wether and we would like to put out the shues more light and comfortable and easy to put on but. Is flip-flops the best idea for such situation? Now I'm not sure.
"I have seen a wide variety of injuries, pain or strain just from wearing flip-flops," podiatrist Dr. Jeff LaMour of Family Foot Care said.
The slinky sandals offer little protection and support for your feet and wearing them could lead to future foot problems, podiatrists say.
"It's not uncommon for a patient to come in with arch pain, heel pain or even ankle pain as a result of wearing shoes without any support," LaMour said.
Knowing the risks, Jessica Munice said she's not ready to retire her favorite sandals.
"Maybe in a couple years," she said.
The shoes should be worn sparingly, LaMour said.
"If you are really active or doing a lot of walking you would be better off wearing something with more shock absorption," he said.
Even though the warm weather may tempt you to expose your toes, doctors hope just knowing the risks involved with wearing flip-flops may give you cold feet.
Not all flip-flops are created equal. Doctors recommend buying the sandals that have built-in arch supports, though they may cost a little more.
I think there is the reson one never lets to kidsto put on flip flops that weren’t sturdily built with their toes covered nad never let them never let them wear flip flops or sandals without a strap across the heel holding his feet in.
One can allow them to wear flip flop type sandals or slippers only in own garden or housing complex. When kids go out on the town, they still wears sneakers or well-made sandals.
