Reasons why Flip Flops are bad for you. Day 2

What are you wearing on your feet?

As a Foot Health Practitioner I am always amazed by the things you put on your feet.  The shoes and anything else you put on your feet say a lot about you and you will subconsciously make snap decisions about people based on their looks and what they are wearing whether you like to admit it or not.  

With sunny and warmer weather arriving is is not unusual to see women and men even in summery clothing and walking around with flip flops on their feet. Sure flip flops feel like the ultimate summery option because they are light and your feet are exposed to the suns rays rather than being stifled by stuffy hot shoes or trainers. In truth though flip flops should only EVER been worn very briefly on the Beach, at the Pool, Spa or in Shared Showers.  Anywhere else and you are doing your feet and the eyeballs of other passers by a massive disservice and there are some very interesting reasons why.
  

So far you have heard that Flip Flops expose your feet to bacteria, viral, and fungal infections. There are more reasons to avoid the Flip Flops to walk around in. 

They slow you down

Now it may sound obvious and if you have every walked with or followed someone wearing flip flops you may or may not have noticed that they aren't walking very quickly. Ok, so you're on your holidays or vacation, but seriously? If you are aiming to be more fit and healthy then flip flops aren't going to help you do that. The truth is flip flops are harder to walk in and because your foot isn't behaving naturally either you're going to be taking smaller steps. If you want to keep yourself more active over the summer months then ditch the flip flops because they aren't doing you any favours.
