More reasons to ditch the flip flogs. 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.  


Sandals, Flip Flops, Sea, Sassi, Beach
With sunny and warmer weather 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.  

In some previous blogs you would have heard that Flip Flops expose your feet to bacteria, viral, and fungal infections, slow you down, make you more clumsy, destroy your heels and can cause blisters. In this series you have heard how they also damage your toes. There are also more reasons to avoid the Flip Flops to walk around in.

They give you bad posture 

Flip flops don't work with your feet. In fact any shoe or type of footwear that is too rigid or too soft even isn't going to work with your feet in the most effective way when you walk. This will affect the biomechanics of your feet, which in turn will affect your legs, hips and back. The fact that flip flops affect your stride and natural speed also indicates that they are going to be affecting your posture.
