Doctors say Crocs could be tough on your feet

- By Ross Parker

THEY have long divided opinion between those who love their comfort and others who cringe at their ugliness. But now experts have warned that Crocs may not even be good for your feet.

Doctors say the rubber shoes should not be worn for extend periods, because they do not provide enough support and can cause pain and even deformity.

Podiatrist Dr Megan Leahy, of the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, told the Huffington Post: ‘Crocs are not suitable for all-day use. These shoes do not adequately secure the heel. When the heel is unstable, toes tend to grip which can lead to tendinitis, worsening of toe deformitie­s, nail problems, corns and calluses.’
