The FuNkY Thing About Flip Flops

Just why!!?? Easy to put on - sure. Inexpensive - can be. Plenty of colors and choices - yes. But, still. Why!? Between the lack of arch support, lack of cushioning, increased risk of tripping/falling, and altered gait mechanics straining your body’s alignment up the chain, flip flops can lead to plenty of funky foot problems and pain. Moderation is key. Wear them to the beach or pool where you’re going to kick them off anyway. But if you plan on walking or standing for a longer duration of time, start looking into some more supportive options. Your feet will thank you!
