SAN RAFAEL, Calif.,
June 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Flip
flops are a summer footwear staple, but not all flip flops are
created equally. To celebrate National Flip Flop Day on
Friday, June 18th, Vionic Innovation
Lab Member, Jacqueline Sutera, DPM,
is encouraging people to put extra thought into pairs they purchase
to break free from the discomfort that can arise from wearing
them.
"Flip flops are lightweight, versatile, and budget-friendly
compared to most other sandal styles, yet when it comes to
supportive design, some traditional flip flops offer little to no
support," says Dr. Sutera. "Supportive flip flop styles, like those
in the Vionic Tide Collection, are a breath of fresh air that your
feet will thank you for."
According to Dr. Sutera, three main "good for you"
characteristics to keep in mind when shopping for flip flops
include arch support, cushioning, and deep heel-cup
stability (features which exemplify Vionic Three-Zone Comfort
technology), along with the following do's and don'ts:
DON'T: Wear very flat and thin types of flip flops when doing a
lot of walking or standing. Flat and thin flip flops can
potentially force your toes and foot muscles to over grip, causing
problems like shin splints, sprains, tendonitis, and plantar
fasciitis. Reserve thin types for very limited use on the beach or
poolside, which is what they are intended for.
DO: Use more supportive flip flops for longer periods of walking
and standing. Those by Vionic are designed to stay on your feet,
allowing your toes to relax and keep your ankles and calves in a
neutral position. This creates better alignment and avoids
straining of muscles and tendons. Vionic flip flops are also
clinically proven to help reduce heel pain in those who suffer from
plantar fasciitis and other foot ailments. To learn more, visit:

Vionic injection-molded rubber flip flop soles are as
lightweight as standard thong sandals yet much more durable and
supportive. Bionic flip flops come in numerous colors, prints, and
patterns in both simple and embellished designs. To see the full
