Álvaro Carmona, a specialist in Preventive Podiatry and a professor of the Degree in Podiatry at UCAM, explains that its daily use in sports or walking can have negative consequences on the development of the foot, knees and back.
However, they avoid infections in common spaces.
At this time of the year it is common to wear flip flops, to go to the pool or the beach, and its use in changing rooms and public showers helps prevent the spread of papillomas and fungi.
But outside of this environment they are discouraged, because the foot remains loose, which negatively affects several joints of the body.
Álvaro Carmona, professor of the Degree in Podiatry of the UCAM and specialist in Preventive Podiatry, explains that it is not good to wear talks as usual footwear, "especially since the foot ends up making movements that are not natural, which leads to muscle aches that take time time to heal. "
Thus, "if we are going to do sports or walk for a long time, we must wear closed shoes that cushion our movement.
"We are not used to going with the foot so loose, so the foot tends to flatten and that has repercussions on many joints of the body, such as the knees and back."
Álvaro Carmona also remembers that with the little ones you have to take special care, since your foot is in a period of growth.
"It is recommended that children wear flip-flops, similar to closed shoes."
