It’s summer time and who doesn’t like wearing flip flops in the warm weather or at the beach. But that’s just it. It’s better to wear them at the beach or around the pool but not a great idea to wear them all day around town. Even though our feet were made to go barefoot originally, they weren’t designed to walk on hard concrete and other urban surfaces and flip flops just don’t give you enough support which can lead to not only foot pain but knee, hip and back pain as well. Your foot is also more exposed in a flip flop so diabetics should definitely avoid them. If you do want to wear a lighter type shoe try picking something with a deeper heel, arch support and toe protection like a Croc brand shoe. Your feet, and the rest of your body, for that matter, will thank you.
