Student Research Determines Best Flip-Flops for Feet
"Though convenience and trendiness most often replace healthy, new types of flip-flops may provide the comfort that the body actually supports.
Justin Shroyer, graduate student in kinesiology, along with a research team in the biomechanics laboratory conducted a study on the effects flip-flops might have on the body.
Shroyer said SOLE and Chacos support more of the foot and arch. He said he prefers the SOLE brand and even owns a pair.
According to their Web sites, SOLE flip-flops have a cushioned arch to give the support the foot needs. Chacos are structured to control the inner movement of the foot to help prevent pain or harm to the body as well."
