Experts reveal that crocs are bad for your health
Although we’re strong believers in comfort over fashion, it seems the croc company has been making some false claims about their “controversial” shoe line.
“Unfortunately Crocs are not suitable for all-day use,” Dr. Megan Leahy, a Chicago-based podiatrist with the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, recently told the Huffington Post. While she did say that they “offer nice arch support,” the fact that they don’t secure the heel means your toes tend to clench as you walk which can lead to some serious problems down the track.
“These shoes do not adequately secure the heel. When the heel is unstable, toes tend to grip, which can lead to tendinitis, worsening of toe deformities, nail problems, corns and calluses. The same thing can happen with flip flops or any backless shoes, as the heel is not secured”.
