| Justin Shroyer, an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette has made a sensational discovery. He has been studying for more than a hundred people who regularly wear flip flops. The aim of the investigation was to find out how the most popular and comfortable footwear affects our feet. |
 |
| His findings were that when one wears flip-flops, the muscles on the front of the shins, or tibialis anterior, work harder than they do when people are barefoot. The reason of the increased muscle activity is when we wear flip flops the toes try to grip the shoe to keep it in place. Besides, this sort of footwear shortens your stride length and can cause pain in your lower legs. |
 |
| The number of diseases caused by our favorite flip flops is unbelievable and shocking. Among short-term issues related to flip-flop use would be heel and arch pain, tendinitis, shin splints, sprains, splinters, cuts, and toe injuries. Long-term problems might be stress fractures, bunions, hammertoes, and neuromas. It makes me shiver to think about it. And to top it off, I cannot understand why I rejected heels, as wearing flip flops result as harmful as wearing 3 inch heels. |
 |
| Most physicians advise that if one cannot do without wearing flip flops, the more the shoe conforms to your foot, the better off your foot and leg will be. Remember that the wider the straps, the better. Also, try to get a sandal with a back strap. Back straps take some of the stress off your toes and decrease the demand for them to work so hard. |
 |
| No doubt, the studying of Justin Shroyer is sensational. Experts say that as comfortable as flip flops are, we should limit its use to a few hours a day as well as heels. And do not disregard foot exercises no matter if you wear flats, sneakers or high heels. |

| You are sure to remember the days when summer was the time when one would pack one’s boots and booties away and move on to more light and open footwear. But fashion is an uncertain lady that is inclined to changing her mind very quickly and often. That is why only a few seasons passed from those days but fashion trends and concepts have changed dramatically. Today you can see the lightest of boots and booties that are made especially for this hot season. |
 |
| If you have a closer look at these boots you will see that they are not actually traditional boots. This is a wonderful combination of the boots and the skimpiness of the sandals that are so required during the hot months. |
 |
| Among distinctive features of summer ankle boots are open toes, cuffs, laces, multiple straps, and many other traits. Depending on the style, you may find booties on high heels, wedges or flat ones. Having examined offerings in stores and girls in the street, I came to the conclusion that the most popular option is flat summer booties. And I can perfectly see the reason: summer is the most active season, so what you really need is maximum comfort. |
 |
Another popular version of the ankle boots is elegant evening ones that are perfect for a party or an evening out. By the way, these were there first summer boots we had seen. The appeared for the first time on the red carpet in Hollywood and the pioneer was a fashion lover, singer and actress Lindsay Lohan. Later on, the trend was caught up by Rihanna, Rachel Bilson, Olsen twins and so on.
To tell the truth I consider these booties too warm for hot summer days, that is why I have not dared try some. And you? |

| I am sure that you have heard the name of Michelle Monaghan. The American actress started to shot in movies quite late – when she was already 25. Her first film was “Perfume”, after which true popularity came. The actress has been advised in such projects as “Mission Impossible 3”, “Kiss, kiss, bang, bang” and many others. Now the actress is followed by annoying and curious paparazzi everywhere she goes. |
 |
| Recently Michelle Monaghan appeared on the red carpet in a fabulous outfit that was immediately taken into account by multiple fashion lovers. The actress chose unusual sandals on a high heel that are a result of Derek Lam designers. For this or that reason the sandals make me think about a golden fish with sparkling scales. |
 |
| Thanks to Derek Lam shoes the whole image of Michelle is unbelievably romantic, feminine and alluring at the same time. That is what attracts fans in a true Hollywood star. The sandal is made from a series of symmetrical satin bands interlaced with each other. Right in the center between two golden toned bands there is a black detail that goes from the toe up to the ankle. There the band is elegantly laced at the back. But there is not a crude knot, but a beautiful bow that has both supportive and decorative functions. The outside part of the heel is also made in gold color, meanwhile its inner part and the sole are black. |
 |
| Additional support provides a golden band that wraps the heel. The sandals are perfect for summer. First of all, they have excellent ventilation and good support. Besides, they are so beautiful that you look will attract everybody’s attention at a party. And, finally, the Derek Lam sandals are super exquisite, stylish and alluring. Is not it what we want? |

| Every celebrity appears on the red carper hoping that she looks unique and at her best. In the majority of cases after the event their outfits are discussed for a long time and the Internet is overcrowded with piquant pictures. However, we know that rules exist as well as their exceptions. In some rare occasions celebrities try too hard to look unique and extraordinary, which results in weird and sometimes shocking look. |
 |
| On the red carpet was lately spotted a famous singer and just a beautiful woman Rihanna. It seems that the celebrity decided to surprise the public and stand out of the crowd. She was wearing a weird one piece jumpsuit made in motton blue. |
| The suit features boobs at the sides and pads at the shoulders. What is even stranger is that sleeves of the suit are attached to the legs at both sides. Well, if you are on the verge of a jump, everybody would understand logical and functional necessity of the outfit, but on the red carpet among fabulous dresses it looks so ugly. Do not you think so? |
 |
| The only reasonable piece of outfit is nude pumps by Christian Louboutin. They are called Pigalle and look really awesome. A high thin heel and an elegant design are perfectly combined in the shoes. Besides, pumps are one of the sexiest types of shoes ever. So, it is the best choice. But what about a sense of style? Do not you think that Louboutins must be paired with sophisticated and exquisite outfit but not with this… |
 |
| Rihanna looks like a geek girl from The Hackers. Her appearance makes me look with fear at her. To tell the truth, looking at this outfit I tend to think about it as a light version of Lady Gaga. Who knows, maybe Gaga weird style has found its followers. |
