For most people, flip flop and sandal season is winding down. If these have been your go to footwear for the summer, you may notice tightness in your calves and pain in your feet. Wearing flip-flops can lead to calf pain for a few key reasons:

Toe-Gripping: Your toes constantly clench to keep the shoe on, which overworks the muscles in your feet and strains your calves.

Altered Gait: Flip-flops change the way you walk, causing shorter strides and a shuffling motion. This puts unusual stress on your feet, ankles, and calves.

Lack of Support: Most flip-flops are flat and thin, offering no arch support or cushioning. This forces your calves to absorb more impact from each step.

These factors can contribute to overuse injuries like Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis, which cause significant pain in your calves and feet.

What can you do to reduce foot and calf pain?
*Choose supportive flip-flops
*Opt for flip-flops with some arch support
*Limit wear time
*Consider alternatives like athletic shoes or sandals with good arch support.

Not ready to break up with your summer sandals? STRETCHING is your best option!
