Holidaying Brits escaping the inclement weather are being advised to opt for Birkenstock sandals this summer if they want to avoid long-term damage to their feet.
Tariq Khan, consultant podiatrist and deputy director at the Marigold Clinic of homeopathic podiatry endorsed the shoes in an article in the Independent.
According to Mr Khan, flip flops provide woeful levels of arch support, while stilettos and other fashionable footwear generally has a terrible impact on the health of our feet.
However, Mr Khan notes that this can be overcome by donning Birkenstock sandals, since they are specially designed to keep to the contours of your feet and in so doing ensure that adequate support is given however the wearer moves.
