Show Notes:
Auburn University did a study of the effects of flip-flops on peoples gait. They discovered people wearing flip-flops took shorter strides and didn't bring their toes up as much. This results in a larger angle for the ankle. All of this can result in problems and can lead to pain from the foot to the lower back.
To be safe, only wear flip-flops for short periods of time. Flip-flops are not designed for proper support of the foot and ankle required for all day wear.
