The hunt for feet-friendly flip-flops
It’s that time of year: We’re all shopping around for cute flips to show off while strolling down the beach or kickin’ it at camp. While there are tons of adorable flip-flops out there, some styles can be particularly bad for your feet, and could even cause long-term problems. Don’t let the summer months take a toll on your fragile tootsies. Here are some fab feet-friendly options that won’t sacrifice style!
These hip flip-flops are cool for school, but fancy enough for dinner out. The rope-style straps give them a nautical vibe, (hint: break out your striped tops) and most importantly, they boast a padded foot bed to protect your soles.
