SATURDAY, July 15, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Americans love flip-flops -- just slip them on, and you're out the door.
But, the unstructured footwear can cause problems, one expert says.
"This time of year I frequently see patients with foot conditions related to wearing flip-flops," Dr. Christina Long, a podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, said in a center news release.
"Wearing flip-flops is better than going barefoot because they do provide some protection for the bottoms of your feet, but that's about it," she said.
