Notice the sand - Keep them at the beach, please, folks.
I get a little snarky during the summer as people decide that ‘everyday is a beach day’ and decide to wear thong sandals or ‘flip-flops’ as regular footwear. Aesthetically, the typical flip flop is an eyesore as it is usually grimy and worn down almost to nothing. Folks, replace your three dollar footwear if it looks ratty, I’m sure you have the spare change. The typical FF also as a recent article from the World Daily points out, is bad for you.
“When people wear flip-flops, the muscles on the front of their shins work harder than they do when people are barefoot. The increased muscle activity may be a result of the toes trying to grip the shoe to keep it in place.Flip-flops shorten your stride length and can cause pain in your lower legs.” (See the study here)
So, stop it and cure me of my vexation over your poor choice of footwear.
