人字拖鞋有害身体健康?

Deborah Brooks has sensitive feet and needs to take care of them. So when she developed a blister after wearing flip-flops,she went to see her doctor. She knows the shoes aren't the best fit for her feet but she likes them.

"I just sleep at your foot and near gone."

Although they are convenient and in some cases,fashionable,flip-flops have never been a favor of foot physicians. The flat shoes are bad for the arches gives poor support which can lead to ankle injuries and because your feet slide in them,they can cause blisters and calluses.

"You need to make sure that you are securing the bio-mechanism of your foot. so if you just get what people call slide or just simple,kind of rubbery type of flip-flops,it is even more dangerous than trying to do something bare foot."

Although Dr.Zinszer said she won't rule out flip-flops completely,she tells our patient to pick wisely.

"You want to know when to wear flip-flops and you need really consider what your risk factors are. "

And the flip-flops should complement your toes' activities,going to the gym,flip-flops can protect you from organism and public showers. But if you are going  hiking,leave the flip-flops at home.
