We all love our slippers, comfy and — feet go in and out within seconds — but this doesn’t make them the healthiest form of footwear. Their shape is not supportive and the materials they are made of are not reinforced. Ideally anything you have on your feet for a long period should offer proper support and protection. Providing your feet, which make up one quarter of your skeleton, with minimal support can negatively affect your aging body (however young you are). Slippers can also contribute to falls. And as older and more vulnerable people are the number one users of slippers and the most at risk of a fall, it is not a great combination.
