One of the most popular summer shoes are also one of the biggest problem causing shoes: the very popular flip-flops.
This becomes the go to summer footwear for a few reasons: they're cheap (most of us have at least 5 pairs) they're comfortable (or so we think) and they're quick to put on and take off. The thing a lot of people don't know is these $1-$5 pairs of rubber footwear are actually causing more harm to your feet and other parts of your body that you may not know of, yet.
Like any pairs of shoes, flip-flops give you protection between your feet and the ground. They may be good for taking out to the beach or wearing in a shower but that's basically all they're good for.
Why They Cause Problems
- no arch support
- no heel cushion
- no shock absorption
- can cause tendinitis or sprained ankles
Now we're not saying you should ban flip-flops altogether. We're just suggesting you find the RIGHT flip-flops. This week we're going to share with you some of our well known brands in store that won't damage your feet, legs, or back this summer. You can have your feet enjoy the summer air and still be comfortable at the same time.
We know that you want shoes that you can quickly throw on and off at a moment's notice say when you're at the beach or racing through the park. It's important to take care of your feet, especially in the summer time. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram throughout the week for sandals that you'll flip over! (in a good way)
