Better Flip-Flop Do Exist!!

Better flip-flops do exist! You heard it here first!!

As the Texas temperatures soar, it's time for boating, kayaking, hiking, swimming and all the other glorious, sun-basking sports of the summer season. As you check off your list of things of summer necessities, (sunscreen, towel, snacks, etc.) make sure you also have some sturdy and supportive foot protection that will help you make the most of your adventure. 

While flip-flops are an ever present essential part of the summer experience—who doesn't want to feel the breeze, water and sand on their toes?—many of the flimsy, rubber styles aren’t fit for a day on your feet and cause a myriad of foot problems.
 
Cheap flip-flops can also put undue pressure on the toes, which have to grasp at the sole to keep it on the foot. This unnatural action can cause pain in the feet, change your walking stride and lead to falling, which can cause ankle sprains, stubbed toes and even a broken bone!

By choosing better footwear, you can cut down on these risks, as well as alleviate current aches and pains. Let me introduce you to flip-flops designed for style, support and performance. The Vionic Tide Sandal from Orthaheel!


They have thicker soles and built-in features to protect and support your foot whether you’re packing up for the beach or running around town. These are an excellent alternative to flip flops, as they keep pressure off the toes, provide similar breathability and are a better option for more rigorous activities such as hiking, boating and other active summer fun stuff! They have an orthotic-like foot bed that helps reduce over-pronation and can help alleviate your foot related pains when you are out of your custom orthotics.


These fabulous summer essential sandals are available in a variety of styles and colors right at your friendly Healthy Steps DFW in Grapevine and Keller!
