Are flip flops good for your feet?

This summer i am going to be wearing flip flops a lot. But are they bad for your feet?

Are flip flops good for your feet?
No, they aren%26#039;t. But they are SO comfortable!!!!


Heres the reasons WHY they arent


*Our feet have a natural arch that needs a bit of a heel to support it


*With out a heel, the arch of your foot will become a bit strained, making your back hurt


*Your feet can get excessively dirty if you wear them on longish walks


*You can get a weird tanline that you might regret later


*If you aren%26#039;t used tot hem, you can get blisters in between your toes


other than that, they ROCK !!!!!!





and ways that you can make up for the minuses....





*Don%26#039;t wear them every day of the week, just like you don%26#039;t want to wear high heels every day


*Wear flip flops with a slight heel and some padding to cushion your arch and keep you from having back problems


*Don%26#039;t wear flip flops in the mud..... that gets your feet dirty...


*To avoid chafing and blisters, wear the cloth strap flip flops, not the plastic ones.


*Above all enjoy your flip flops and create a style that is YOU this summer!!!!!!





%26lt;3 peace out girlfriend!
Reply:They are bad for your feet, because they have no support. But don%26#039;t worry, just have fun this summer! ♥
Reply:i dont think they are bad but they don%26#039;t really offer a lot of support for your arches. i wore them too much and started having foot problems! ha! just make sure you are not going to be going long distances in them or high impact activity and you should be A-OK!
Reply:i don%26#039;t think so..but the bad part is that the rest of your feet will be tan except for the toe strapping part.
Reply:On NBC Today one morning they did talk about shoes, and yes, flip flops are bad for (1) because they have no arch support, (2) because they have no heel. Don%26#039;t feel bad flats aren%26#039;t good either. You need to have some heel on your shoe or you hurt your back (more than likely from not standing up straight in the shoes).
Reply:much better than high heels! don%26#039;t worry!
Reply:they must be because they are so comfy
Reply:Not exactly. Though they are comfortable when we walk in them, they hurt our feet in the long run. Naturally, our feet have a slight arch and in order to support that arch, we need a little tiny heel to give full support. So those completely flat flip flops that we wear today may be comfortable but might cause pain later in our lives if we wear them a whole lot.
Reply:well when the sun hits them you can tan lines. But other wize they can cause cramps in your heels.
Reply:Yes. They help your feet grow without being crammed into a sneaker. This therefore promotes healthier nails too. If you also have flip-flops that are excessively cushioned, then they help your feet feel more comfortable. On the downside, it does hurt the part of your foot between your big toe and your second toe.
Reply:They are actually not good for your feet because most of them are flat and do not give your foot the proper support it needs. (Saw that on the news last year!)
Reply:Kind of, if you know your going to be walking a lot, you need support so wearing flip flops will make your feet really hurt! So flip flops are ok on little walks and stuff, but for long walks then go for tennis shoes! but hott ones! NEVER give up your super cute summery sandals for ugly tennis shoes! You may need them, but i absolutly forbid you to wear anything NOT gerogous lol! Good luck! %26lt;3
