1. Choose a well-made sandal
with a thicker strap and arched
sole for better support.
Avoid flip flops with flimsy,
thin soles that offer feet
no support.
If you are unable to wear dressy
warm-weather shoes, outdoor
hiking sandals are a great alter-
native. Pay extra attention in
rough terrain since there is no
protection for your toes.
Choose a sandal with a bit of
a heel & arch support that fits
the contour of your foot.
Use caution when wearing
high stiletto styles with
little ankle stability. As heel
height increases stability
and safety decrease.
If you are looking for height,
a wedge with a stable base,
strong ankle strap and arch
support is a good choice.
If you are experiencing persistent foot pain,
