"Perhaps someone threw the shoes out because they
hurt their feet. You know, the agony of de feet."
•
Experts report that among individuals experiencing foot pain,
the age group experiencing the most discomfort ranges from
15-25. (NOT the group expected)
…
Could “Flip Flops” be the culprit?
According to the National Foot Health Assessment in 2012,
78% of people as young as 21 could report having existing
foot problems, or have had them in the past.
Among these injuries were: Foot Fatigue, Infections, Cuts/Scrapes,
Bunions, Heel Spurs, Hip Problems, Lower Back Pain, & Walking Issues
“I twisted my ankle trying on shoes, hopefully it will heel soon.”
Reasons To Dump Those Flops
Aside from looking unprofessional and
causing unsightly tan lines, here are a
few more reasons not to wear “thongs”
on your feet:
Toes: Tendonitis, bunion formation & hammer toes.
Bacteria: Attract 18,000 types of bacteria, including
fecal mater.
Ankles: Affects your natural gait, which in turn can
trigger pain and problems throughout the whole
body.
Bones: Repetitive trauma and lack of shock
absorption can lead to stress fractures.
Foot pad: Causes friction on the soft pad of your
feet.
Arch: Lack of support can lead to plantar fasciitis.
Heel: Cracks in the skin can develop as well as sharp
pain from plantar fasciitis.
They won’t just kill
your feet…
