this past weekend, a longweekendstyle operative was shopping and came across flip flops from a surf company called reef. while loving the color choices and economic price of flip flops, what is not loved is the lack of arch support. especially when a podiatrist is involved and said podiatrist diagnoses your feet with a really serious case of flat foot AKA sunken arches, which sounds like a mcdonald's that has fallen on hard times, but ladies and gentlemen is a condition that can weaken your foot/ankle muscles from the soles up, giving you a lifetime of foot grief.
seriously.
yikes.
ok, so enough about fallen arches. too depressing. let's circle on back to the hot topic of discussion: reef flip flops.
quite honestly, flip flops had totally fallen off our radar due to their inherent nature of being absolutely flat and giving the foot simply zero, zip, zilch in the support department. sure, flip flops come in like a gazillion colors but this fashion choice can lead to endless foot issues that will follow you 'til the end of your days.
ladies and gentlemen of the jury, may we introduce the flip flop by reef - complete with (mucho necessario) arch support.
reef flip flops LOOK like regular flip flops with all the color and comfy, cushy rubber soledness that we likey to BUT reef flip flops also offer up "anatomical arch support" so your arches won't be sinking on your casual fridays or at the beach. LWS likes the uptown, a chic snakeskin pattern that transitions from beach to bar to whatever, all the while giving your feet the firm support they need to keep you from falling down (later). yayness!
the uptown by reef $22, women's sizes 5-11, available online through the official reef website http://shop.reef.com to view the complete reef line or check out what local retailers are sporting them near you.
