As much as I love my Reef flip flops, I think it has come time to find something more supportive. This doesn't mean I want to end up at the orthopaedic shoe store with my Grandma, but I need something better! I mentioned a few blogs ago that I had gone back to using my orthotics due to a nagging pain in my foot that was starting to develop into plantar fasciitis. The problem being that I only wear my running shoes for running/working out and the rest of the time I am wearing flip flops,which aren't supportive enough for me. When I recently competed in the Ragnar Relay in Minnesota, one of my friends had a pair of FitFlops,which I tried on and loved! They were cute too--black with sequins sothey could be worn casual or dressy. I am all about that! 

Yes, they are more expensive than my Reef's, but they will be better for my feet! I have a feeling podiatrists are not lacking for clients these days due to women/men wearing flip flops constantly and women wearing heels as well. I've also heard that some people have relief from back pain using these more supportive shoes.

This is just a gentle reminder that at some point if your calves are tight and/or sore, or your feet start hurting you need to quick take care of it. Once you have a full-blown case of plantar faciitis, it is hard to recover and takes a long time—save yourself the pain! Go see a podiatrist, or at the very least get some supportive shoes (they can still be cute!)! 

Does anyone have any other flip flops they recommend that offer at least some support and are attractive as well?! I would love to hear from you!
