Are flip flops bad for your feet?

No more flip flops? L

I have to admit that I love my flippie floppies. Especially when I am on a boat.  But they are not always the best for you.

Reasons Flip Flops are bad for your feet.

1)      They don’t give you much arch support, which causes your foot to over-pronate (turn in) or to over-supinate (turn out). This can cause pain in the heel, arch, balls of the feet and even the toes.

2)      You end up gripping your toes to keep the darn things on.  Making your feet work that hard can cause soreness.

3)      No ankle support, which means you are more likely to sprain your ankle.

4)      It can cause hip and low back pain. Normally people with flip flops shorten their step. This isn’t good for full hip extension.  

Why you should wear flip flops.

1)      It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you are wearing flip flops J

You will have to make this very difficult decision for yourself.
