Flip-flops can lead to sore feet, ankles and legs

Washington, June 7 : They’re the latest fad, and the coolest footwear in the hot summer season, giving you the much desired casual look, but according to a group of researchers the much-loved flip-flops can result in sore feet, ankles and legs.

"We found that when people walk in flip-flops, they alter their gait, which can result in problems and pain from the foot up into the hips and lower back," said Justin Shroyer, a biomechanics doctoral student.

"Variations like this at the foot can result in changes up the kinetic chain, which in this case can extend upward in the wearer's body,” he said.
