The Danger of Wearing Flip Flops

Flip Flops are a household item with moth people just using them as house shoes, but every now and again, we all have to suppress a gasp as we see a man in public wearing them. Forcing everyone to behold the toes he refuses to clip the nails of. But did you know there are more problems then just being gross to look at?

Flip Flops lack cushioning, support and protection leading to a multitude of issues. Your toes have to grip the front of the flip flop or the strap in order to keep them on. This can lead to overpronation of the toes, tendonitis and hammertoes. Wearing flip flops even effects the gait in your walk, which can lead to hip and knee issues in the future.
