Athletes don’t wear flip-flops! with summer almost here (although it doesn’t feel like it with the weather this week), I found this video very interesting. Kelly starlet, author of the Mobility wod blog, talks about the reasons that a serious athlete should not be walking around daily in flip flops. I tested his logic myself and have to say, it makes some sense! I’m not sure if i’ll be throwing away all of my flip flops, but it definitely gives me something to think about when i’m deciding which shoes to put on.
