I found this article about the PecheBlu flip flops on Tribble Agency.  Usually, I wouldn’t think about the design of my footware, especially flip flops, but this is pretty compelling.  Now I know why my feet constantly hurt and my shins feel like they were kicked 10 times each with steel – toed boots.

PecheBlu flip flops, unlike other “slab” flip flops, offer arch support for your feet.  I didn’t really think about it until now, but I can see how if your feet aren’t supported, it tends to cause a lot of strain on your ankles, shins, and knees. Not to mention that regular “slab” flip flops make you feel like you’re walking funny…

I did some more research into them and it looks like a pretty cool company….and they actually care about how they make their flip flops!  Granted, some of them are a little expensive ($400 for a pair of crocodile flip flops?), but they’re definitely worth checking out.  Walk the beach in comfort!
