Given the sizzling weather we have had, flip flops have been in fashion this the summer.
However, doctors yesterday warned that flip flops are as bad for health as for your career .
Business bosses stated last month that wearing them to the office could mean getting sacked. They can lead lead to shin splints, joint pain and twisted ankles.
They are certainly not safe. They strain the achilles tendon as well as the back of the leg. Great pain can occur in just two weeks. The single thong of course provides the wearer with no support.
Doctors advise that flip flops ought to be saved for the beach and replaced with shoes with backs or proper straps to support the foot. In 2002, 55,100 men and women went to hospital with flip flop-related complaints.
Each shoe fashion causes problems. High heels are dangerous too as they make women unstable, with many wearers getting dislocated ankles, torn ligaments and sometimes broken ankles.
