Keep your feet happy in flip-flops!
● Look for this seal!
Flip-flops marked with the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance means they’re guaranteed to provide proper foot support and promote good foot health! For a complete list of approved brands, visit APMA.ORG.
● Check for arch support!
Flat shoes cause pain because they force you into an unnatural walking position — but a built-in arch or orthotic support will keep you aligned and pain-free! Try: Zealand Breeze flip-flops ($34.95 at Thewalkingcompany.com).
● Double-check the fit!
Even half a size too small can cause painful stress that radiates up your back! For a perfect fit, make sure your big toe and heel have a few millimeters of space between them and the shoe’s edge— allowing for optimal support and movement!
