Researchers are finding evidence that summer flip-flops may cause foot pain. Personally, I've never been a fan of flip-flops. I do have a pair, but I only wear them when it's really hot, and I'm hanging out at the beach or a pool. Flip-flops are not that comfortable, and the thong in the middle usually tears apart the sensitive skin between my toes. OUCH! I remember my mom had brought a cute pair of flip-flops with her during a trip to Vegas and wore them one day to go shopping. An hour into our shopping excursion, she was walking around with serious toe issues. She had to stop at a shoe store and pick up some sneakers just so she could walk back to the casino without her toes bleeding. She came back to the hotel and bandaged up her toes. Who would've thought those stupid flip-flops would've caused such damage?
Also, why do I see people wearing flip-flops in late fall walking to work?? If you are wearing a coat, then you should not be exposing your feet in a pair of flimsy flip-flops. That should be the rule. It drives me crazy seeing men and women sporting sandals when it's freezing outside. Flip-flops should be worn in the summer only.
