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!
