The summer is a popular time for wearing flip flops. Although these shoes are trendy for being summer-friendly, they also incur the risk of developing hammertoeand other conditions since the often-flimsy soles do not provide good arch support for your feet. Minimize the risk by seldom wearing flip-flops and of course choosing footwear that provides good support for your body.

A podiatrist like Dr. Greg Khaimov of Foot and Ankle Center of Fort Lee, LLC. can make recommendations on how to care and find shoes that fit you, as well as help you with any foot pain you might have experienced from wearing ill fitting footwear.
