Summer Style? Prepare For The Agony Of The Feet
Every year, there’s a story about how your shoes are hurting you. In this article, a podiatrist advises against flip-flops, noting that they cause tendonitis. Sir: You will pry my flip-flops from my cold, dead hands.
I love flip-flops, and flat sandals, and what, pray tell, is summer without them? (After years of cheapo brands, I finally invested in some Rainbows, pictured, which actually give a little arch support.) Still: Supposedly, adapting to flip flops or sandals from closed shoes creates stress on the shin muscles as they try to balance the shoe on the foot. Sigh.
