Summer is here, and your feet are itching to shed winter boots. So, before you slide back into those hip flip-flops of the summer and make a run for it on toasty pavements, be sure and check out that you are keeping your feet in walking order.
Breathability is Your Best Friend
With summer heat, your feet can sweat up to a pint per day. Select moisture wicking shoes, such as leather, canvas or mesh. Your feet will appreciate the breathability and you can sidestep that squelching, swampy sensation.
Support Can Be Fun
Believe supportive shoes are stylistic abominations? Think again! Gone are the days of pretty much any sandal with even a lick of arch and padding support looking like Grandma’s Birkenstocks. Seek for a cushioned and contoured footbed that molds to the shape of your arches like a good friend.

Flip-Flop Reality Check
We all love to look fly in flip-flops, but wearing sandals every day of the summer is like eating ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner: it sounds good at first thought but then you remember that too much sugar isn´t a positive thing. Throw some on for the beach and pool, not walking a marathon around town.
Size Matters More in Heat
In hot weather your feet may swell – buy summer shoes in the afternoon, when it is warmest and therefore your legs/feet have expanded most. No blisters and happy strolling through hot summer nights with just the right fit.
Rotate Your Footwear
As with your wardrobe, your feet like some variety! Switching up shoe styles helps facilitate this by avoiding the overuse of one set and ensures comfort for your feet during every season.
Your feet will take you on summer journeys so appreciate them a little.
