flip flops Flip flops are the summer fashion for both girls and guys. But according to an article written today by Tara Parker-Hope, they can also lead to foot pain.

Apparently, those who wear thing flip flops are more susceptible to sore feet, ankles and legs. When you walk in them, they alter your gait—you take shorter steps, your heels hit the ground with less vertical force and you don’t bring their toes up as much as the leg swings forward.  The reason this happens is because you grip the flip flop with your toes.

This change can result in problems in the feet all the way up to the lower back. Tara says that this research doesn’t mean people shouldn’t buy them, and that they’re OK when worn for a short period of time (like, to the beach or to the pool or after a soccer game). “But they are not designed to properly support the foot and ankle during all-day wear,” the article says.

    Legend has it that “ugg” is short for “ugly” - so, “ugg boots” apparently meant “ugly boots.” For decades, “ugg” was generic term used for sheepskin boots made in Australia.The word was so commonplace that it was found in Australian dictionaries, and ugg boots were also known as “ug” or “ugh” boots. But in the United States, when people refer to “UGG boots,” they’re usually talking about the boots made by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, the parent company of “UGG Australia."So if you’re traveling the world and talking about footwear, it’s good to know that when the term “ugg boot” is used, it could be referring to an Australian-made sheepskin boot, or a popular brand name boot.
