If you’re like me you’re wearing flip flops for every event and with all outfits as soon as the weather permits…and maybe a little too early too. Well ladies I just heard the most awful news, according to this article flip flops should only be worn around the pool for more reasons than just cankles.
Here’s what your flip flops are doing:
-They can cause toes to contract, making the muscles in the front of the leg work when they should be at rest.
This can lead to the formation of hammertoes, a foot deformity where the second, third or fourth toe is bent at the joint, resembling a hammer.
-Ankle sprains are another common condition associated with wearing flip-flops.
-These flip flops can also wreak havoc on your knees, hips and back.

Like most girls, I love shoes.
My love for TOM’s shoes, however, is more meaningful. This kind of love goes beyond looks. Although these shoes are still styling, there’s more than meets the eye.
TOMS has a one for one policy. This means that for every shoe that you buy, TOMS will give a brand new pair of their shoes to a child in need. Not only do you get a pair of shoes to wear and love, but you get to share this joy with someone else who will truly, appreciate them.
In many developing countries shoes provide children protection from unsafe roads, contaminated oil and helps in providing them with an education. Most schools require a dress code involving shoes, so by providing these kids with footwear you’re helping them take a step towards a brighter future.
So girls and guys this love could be the happily ever after kind- with your help. Fall in love here.
