Hot topic of the summer: I can’t wear closed toed shoes!
Posted by The Doctors at Advanced Foot & Ankle Center on August 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment
I hear this almost every day from patients all summer long. “ I don’t want to/can’t wear closed toed shoes in the summertime. It is just too hot.” But these patients suffer from heel pain, arch pain and/or bunion pain and need the support of a sneaker with orthotics to do the things they love doing.
I also often have patients tell me that they love being barefoot or that they never want to wear shoes while at home but they have to choose between the freedom and temperature comfort of being barefoot and being pain free.
Both of these problems are tough to manage but there are strategies for solving these issues. First and foremost is coming up with a compromise. Wearing a shoe with some support some of the time beats having no support most of the time. I tell patients frequently that if they will wear their supportive shoes for part of the day, and if they will at least wear a sandal indoors, they will have a more manageable foot pain that may not limit their activities so much.
For some the shoe compromise works well enough, but some still have intolerable pain without orthotic support. For these patients there are alternatives that can help. Several companies are now offering a line of custom molded flip flops that provide the comfort of an open toed shoe with the stability and support of a custom orthotic. These come in many colors, sizes and fashions to fit the taste of most people. That is, of course, assuming you have taste. 
Advanced Foot and Ankle Care provides a large variety of these custom flip flops to keep you fashionable, cool and most important of all, pain free through your summer.
