Choose a well-made sandal with a thicker strap and arched

sole for better support.

Avoid �ip �ops with �imsy, thin soles that offer feet

no support.

If you are unable to wear dressy warm-weather shoes, outdoor hiking sandals are a great alter-

native. Pay extra attention in rough terrain since there is no

protection for your toes.

Choose a sandal with a bit of a heel & arch support that �ts

the contour of your foot.

Use caution when wearing high stiletto styles with

little ankle stability. As heel height increases stability

and safety decrease.

If you are looking for height, a wedge with a stable base, strong ankle strap and arch support is a good choice.
