Well Summer is officially here, and if you are tired of keeping your feet stuffed in those shoes it is time to get those toes exposed. What better way that on National Flip Flop Day.
People have been wearing flip-flops for years, with the Egyptians being one of the first. Since then, sandals have come a long way and are worn throughout the world. It has become a way for you to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach or out for a walk in the sunshine.
Flip Flop day was founded by Tropical Smoothie Café. Customers who visit a participating Café on Flip Flop day wearing flip flops would get a free smoothie. Tropical Smoothie Café not only uses this day for customers to get a free drink and expose their feet, but they also use the day to raise funds for Camp Sunshine, a camp tat offers respite and support to children with life threatening illnesses and their families.
Although flip flops are fun to wear then can be hard on your feet since they lack support. However, Vionic brand has come up with a solution to that.
Traditional flip-flops are notoriously bad for people and are flat as a board, which causes feet to flatten against their natural form. On the other hand, Vionic flip flops hug the arch of the foot for full support. With Vionic’s podiatrist-designed, supportive Orthaheel Technology, the gravitational forces that cause the arch of the feet to collapse can be reversed, raising them back into their neutral position helping to re-align the entire leg and preventing plantar fasciitis, so wearers can move to move dynamically in complete comfort as intended.
Vionic with Orthaheel Technology offers the ONLY sandals recommended by both the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) and renowned integrative medicine doctor,
Andrew Weil, MD. Vionic. Vionic is also endorsed by celebrity fitness trainer Juliet Kaska’s (clientele includes Kerry Washington, Ali Larter, Stacy Keibler, Pink, Kate Walsh and more).
I recently got to try the Vionic with Orathaheel Technology in Turquoise, I love these so much. It is Soft woven toe post and foam-lined strap ensure a comfortable fit. Podiatrist-designed, biomechanical Tri-planar Motion Control footbed with a deep heel cup helps stabilize, support and realign the feet back to their natural position. Lightweight, flexible medium-density EVA midsole absorbs shock, reducing stress on feet, ankles and knees. Durable TPR outsole with wave-patterned tread helps improve traction.
It is light leather and easy to clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
