Taken from Straits times life about how flip flops can cause sore feets and legs.

Researchers from Auburn University in Albama studied the biomechanics of flip-flops and determined that wearing thong-style flip flops can result in sore feet, ankles and legs. This is because whn people walk in flip flops, they alter their gait, which can result in problems and pain from the foot up into the hips and lower back, the study said. When a person wears a flip flop, his toes need to grip them to prevent them from falling off. They will not stay in one position underneath the feet when walking and this can cause thr feet to slide off to the side, most often the inside edge. This changes the mechanics of the lower leg and stresses are transferred to other parts of the body such as the hips, kneew and lower back. A prof cautions that it is counter productive for a person with foot injury to wear flip flops since they put all these abnormal stresses on the legs and the injury cannot heal. Also, the strap between the toes can cause friction and result in ulceration.

Didn't know they can cause such harm. Time to change footwear people! I stopped wearing flip flops ever since after a few incidents of slipper-breakings. One BROKE just before the start of an exam paper, and thereafter i had to tie strings around the sole to my feet. so unglam! LOL!

Heard that heels are quite bad for the ankles too. These pretty but evil things. sighs. Oh and I stopped wearing heels too, cos just couldn't get used to it after a long time of not waring it. It used to give me rough skin on the soles as well.

Just went for a night jog, hmmm, around 2km? And I couldn't took it alr. I guess its the mentality. Cos fren told me that we'll jog to the IJ OLN there. And when we reached there, he said, lets jog back. I was like OMGOSH??!! Erm, and I took a bus back. hahah! alrights, next time I shall just not bring my ezlink out. Hmmm but not bad already, for a starter who haven't ran for ages. This time i brought it out for a purpose. I was still physically able to jog but quite tired already, and I don't wanna like just suddenly die, like the guy who just died in tekong training. I'm only 20, at least let me die after I celebrate my 21st birthday.
