Outside shoes aren’t allowed in my house, which was the case in my parents’ house growing up and now in the house I share with my husband. Because of this, I’m a big slippers person and almost always wear them around the house.
But it has recently occurred to me that, because I work from home, I’m spending my days almost exclusively wearing house slippers, gripping my toes into their footbeds and flip-flopping around the house with abandon. Is this going to be bad for my foot health in the long run? I talked to two podiatrists to get their input on the matter and, surprisingly, it’s mostly good news for slipper fans.
