MD Podiatrist Discusses Best Summer Shoes

There are pros and cons of wearing sandals with ankle straps. Daniel Michaels, DPM, doctor of podiatric medicine, points out that ankle straps “provide stability and help ensure a better fit.”
  
While slip-in shoes are convenient, Dr. Michaels advises not wearing this style if you are doing a lot of walking. “Slides and mules can be challenging to wear comfortably, as they do not fit securely to the foot and can possibly lead to injuries such as ankle sprains and strains,” he explains.
