Warm summer days are perfect for flip-flops and sandals. However, make sure you’re wearing something supportive on your feet to avoid injury.

You shouldn’t wear something overly cushioned. That could cause you to lose your balance, according to a podiatrist with Cleveland Clinic.

You also want to avoid sandals and flip-flops that can bend and twist easily. Shoes like this can get caught as you take a step.

Finding the right summer shoe requires getting fitted. People need to make sure they know exact shoe size, along with making sure the shoe is made up of a supportive material that has an arch support and nice heel counter to hold your foot in place.

You should also avoid wearing flip-flops and sandals that are too thin in case you step on a sharp rock or glass.
