To a flip-flop nation like the Philippines, there are things that you should know about your P900 footwear.
There is a study in the United States that came out regarding flip-flops. Justin Shroyer, an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, cited some problems caused by wearing flip-flops.
- people work the muscles in their shins harder when trying to grip and hold flip-flops in place
- shortened strides while wearing flip-flops strain the lower legs
Other doctors also confirmed these findings:
- flip-flops don’t have shock-absorbing qualities like shoes
- wearing flip-flops would shorten your strides causing your foot and leg muscles to work harder
With these findings, the doctors recommend wearing your favorite pair to a few hours a day to reduce foot, ankle, knee, leg, hip and even back injuries. If you’re a die-hard flip-flop fan, then you should look into these qualities before buying another pair:
- check for a pair with a wider strap
- a back-strap reduces foot strain
- choose a more contoured flip-flop
If there is a list of fda approved diet pills, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) came up with a list of flip-flops they recommend.
