I had the same thing with my calves about 10 yrs ago (already had MS then), and the doc figured it was from switching over to sandals & flip flops (thongs, in my day ) in the summer. He said they were too flat-footed after wearing reasonably high heels at work all year.

I live in flip flops too, unless the "spasticity" gets to me.

I like these.

My sister used to have a pair of those wooden Dr. Scholl's sandals. She plopped down on the couch one day and swung her leg up in the air to cross it over onto her other leg - her sandal flew off and hit my Dad in the shin.

It was too funny not to laugh but he had a knot the size of an orange on the front of his leg for weeks after that!!

Needless to say I never was allowed to purchase a pair of those while I lived at home!!

I love flip flops in summer. The ones I usually get though have the thicker sole and a small heel. I really can't wear the totally flat ones.

I used to love the Dr. Scholl's too. Course I was a teen and loved the sound they made. Go figure.

Hated 'em! I begged, borrowed and stole to get those and I wore them for one painful day! Sometimes I really miss high school.

It's funny, I hadn't thought about Dr. Scholl's sandals in years. I never wanted a pair because I was a vain girly, girl and didn't think they were feminine enough!

The girls in my high school wore those things with short-shorts and tube tops!! Am I showin' my age??

Supposedly they made your legs more beautiful......didn't work out quite that way for my Dad, though!! All he got was a bruise!!

As soon as I get to a mall where there's a Vict Secret, I'm going to check those fit flops out. From online pics, they look pretty secure on the foot and they are really cute.

I agree about the reg flip flops being not very stable, but they are comfy and easy to wear. My DH threatens to throw all mine out too.

I hate any shoes with a heel! I don't know some women wear those really high ones. I'll take a flat flip flop any day of the week over high heels.

I do like ones with arch support, though. I don't like any sandal that doesn't have some kind of arch support.

So, anyone try the fitflops yet?
