Ben Wang reported on August 6 that, once upon a time, flip-flops were only seen on the beach. Now, they’ve become a summer staple for women in many countries around the world. According to a report from the UK’s *Daily Mail* on July 29, one in five British women owns at least one pair of "double-word" flip-flops—those with extra-wide soles. While they may seem comfortable, experts warn that wearing them regularly can be just as harmful as high heels. In fact, some studies suggest that the long-term damage caused by flip-flops might even be worse.
In the UK, over 200,000 people visit hospitals each year due to falls or chronic foot injuries linked to flip-flop use. The National Health Service spends about £40 million annually on treating these injuries. Researchers explain that flip-flops alter the natural gait, shifting pressure from the heel to the outer part of the foot. This can lead to long-term issues such as calf pain, joint discomfort, and even ankle problems.
Mike O’Neill, a spokesperson for the British Foot Care and Paediatricians Association, explained, “Wearing flip-flops forces people to grip the sole with their toes, which causes the feet to turn inward. This repetitive twisting puts strain on the ankles and can lead to chronic damage over time. The lack of arch support also contributes to pain in the feet, calves, and tendons.â€
Many people suffer from toe pain because they unconsciously twist their toes to keep the flip-flops on. Others worry about their toes being exposed to hard surfaces or getting injured. Unlike stilettos, which are often worn for short periods, flip-flops are frequently worn all day, especially during shopping trips or outdoor activities.
Doctors advise against prolonged flip-flop use and recommend switching to more supportive shoes to prevent further injury. If you’re looking for alternatives, consider sandals with proper arch support or walking shoes designed for comfort.
