In fact, according to the American College
of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) in 2006, an increase in usage
of flip - flop sandals
by teens and young adults has led to an increase in heel pain.3 ACFAS spokesperson Marybeth Crane, DPM, has reported that practitioners are seeing more heel pain more than ever in patients 15 to 25 years old, noting that heel pain is a
marker of plantar fasciitis which accounts for 15 %
of all adult foot complaints.3 Furthermore, the ACFAS recommends that patients with heel pain should avoid flat shoes with paper - thin soles and should also avoid walking barefoot since wearing flat shoes (including flip - flops) and walking barefoot provides little cushioning as well as little to no arch support.3 This lack
of arch support and cushioning
of the heel while wearing flip - flops seems to exacerbate any abnormalities in the biomechanics
of foot motion, and may perpetuate heel pain and
inflammation.
