New study says flilp-flops are good for you knees. A study conducted at Rush University in Chicago, analyzed 31 people with osteoarthritis while they walked barefoot, with Dansko clogs and with flip flops. The study found that wearing flip flops places 15% less load on the knees than other more stable shoes.
Doctors still warn that for some people, wearing flip flops for a long period of time can cause foot pain due to the lack of arch support in them.
