Flip Flop Unstable: When you go from a stable environment, like supportive sneakers, into a less stable environment, like flip flops you are using your tendons and joints differently. This is normally a passing problem, if you want to wear flip flops more regularly. But, i recommend starting with several hours a day of wearing less supportive shoes, and once used to that gradually add more time.
