Summer is here! Before you slip into a pair of flip flops, you might want to consider options that provide proper arch support and comfort. This season can bring out the worst in foot and heel pain as we transition to different shoes that are more suited for the hotter weather. Keep in mind that opting for flimsy shoes, like flip flops, can actually exacerbate your existing foot issue. Most flip-flops lack the structure in the arch that supports the plantar fascia in the bottom of the foot, which may lead to further injury.
Luckily you can still enjoy the same comfortable feeling on your feet with shoes that are designed to support and stabilize your feet. Let your feet breathe while you eliminate possible foot problems from wearing flip-flops with these top summer shoes choices from Healthy Feet Store.
