Beware of those "comfy" summer shoes

Walking in backless shoes can cause a real backache!   Flipflops and summer sandals cause a change in the way that your foot sits in the shoe and your foot moves differently than it does in a walking shoe.  That mechanical change works itself all the way up to the spine and the neck and could be the culprit for increased lower back pain or even neck discomfort.

If you are going to be walking alot this summer, you will be doing your spine a big favor by choosing  either a walking shoe or a sandal with a back strap.
