Why It's Important For Flip Flops To Be Adjustable

by Bojana Graus

Flip flops are a handy type of footwear to own because you can wear them in all sorts of situations. If you're looking for men's flip flops at a local shoe store, you'll find products with many different designs. Lots of flip flops have a thick strap that wraps over the top of each foot, and some of these straps are adjustable — typically, with a strip of hook-and-loop fastener. While there are several factors to evaluate before you decide which pair of flip flops you wish to buy, here are some reasons that footwear with adjustable straps is a good choice.

Different Activities

Being able to adjust the fit of your flip flops can be desirable if you plan to use them for different activities. For example, if you're going to be lounging outdoors at a friend's home, you might favor adjusting this footwear so that it fits your feet very loosely. This will allow you to easily kick the flip flops off when you go in and out of the home, for example. There can also be times in which a snugger fit is desirable. If you're going to walk your family dog and you favor this footwear, you may want a tighter fit so they stay on while you walk.

Socks Vs. No Socks

A lot of people favor wearing flip flops without socks, but some people occasionally enjoy the feeling of socks while wearing this type of footwear. This can especially be the case if the weather is a little cooler. If you expect that you'll sometimes wear socks with your new pair of flip flops, choosing a style with adjustable straps can make sense. If you have thick socks, you'll want to adjust the straps to give your feet more room. When you wear the flip flops with bare feet, you can adjust the straps to fit.

Swollen Feet

There are several medical conditions that can cause your feet to occasionally swell. If you go through periods in which your feet are swollen and then not swollen, you'll want flip flops that can accommodate both of these states. When you plan to use this footwear at a time that your feet are swollen, you can loosen the straps a little for comfort. At a later date, when your feet aren't as swollen, it will be easy to adjust the flip flops to fit.

About Me

Finding Appropriate Attire

For years, I worked for a company that didn't care much about what I showed up in for work. I would wear really casual clothing, such as a tank top and a pair of cut off shorts. Unfortunately, once I got a better job, my new employer was less-than-enthused about my choice of duds. She explained that they were trying to make the customers feel comfortable and improve the store culture and asked that I wear more professional attire. I started shopping for items that would look neutral, and I was able to find some pieces that I looked great in. Check out this blog to learn more about finding appropriate attire.
