Don't go Barefoot!
Protect Your Feet, Please
When you go barefoot outside, you run the risk of:
- stepping on splinters, glass, or other small, sharp objects
- burning your feet on hot sand or concrete
- getting blisters or rashes from rough surfaces
-
developing a bacterial or fungal infection, especially in areas with standing water
If You Are A Flip Flop Wearer...
They may look cute and be very convenient, but .....
Too much time in flip-flops can contribute to a number of leg and feet issues, including:
Blisters
When you slide your feet into a flip-flop, the skin on your toes may rub against the strap. If your feet are sweaty or wet, this moisture and friction can form the perfect recipe for blisters.
Your toes naturally rub together when you walk, and sometimes sports tape or bandages can increase the friction. If your blisters keep opening back up, they can take an annoyingly long time to heal.
In short, you may have more luck preventing blisters from appearing in the first place, and limiting flip-flop use can help.
Heel pain
Your plantar fascia is a ligament that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes. When your plantar fascia tears, it can cause pain in your heel called plantar fasciitis.
Flip-flops can make plantar fasciitis more likely. Here’s why:
- Your toes need to flex and grip the strap to keep the shoes on. This may cause the ligament to stretch.
- Without arch support, your foot flattens more than usual when you step down. This can also cause the ligament to stretch.
- When you take a step, your heel meets the ground first. Without cushioning to soften the strike, the tissue around your heel absorbs the force of the impact, stressing the ligament further.
Sprained ankles
Your ankles tend to roll more when you wear flip-flops. For short periods, this change in gait probably won’t pose a serious concern. But over time, your ankles may grow less steady, making them more vulnerable to sprains.
Shin splints
Walking in flip-flops makes the muscles in the front of your leg work harder than they would if you went barefoot, or wore more supportive footwear.
Overusing these muscles can cause them to develop tiny tears and become painfully inflamed. This leads to medial tibial stress syndrome, commonly called shin splints.
Flip-flops might offer convenience, comfort, and even style for your feet, but they aren’t suitable for physical activity. If you wear them too frequently, your feet and legs may start aching due to lack of support.
It is not safe to wear Flip Flops when driving.
Flip-flops can work well for short-term, casual use — for example, if you need to dip outside to grab the newspaper or accept a pizza delivery. Rubber or plastic flip-flops are often easy to clean and quick-drying, which also makes them ideal for wetter locations like the beach.
To sum up, you’ll probably want to reserve flip-flops for taking out the trash, showering at the gym, or wading at the beach. For anything more strenuous, you’re better off grabbing sturdier shoes.
