Are Snooki's Flip Flops a Flop?

Snooki Polizzo, from the Jersey Shore", has started her own line of Flip Flops.  Part of the collection will include sandals and wedges that are suited for the beach. They will range in price from anywhere between $15-$50 for them.

With seeing some of her styles, these do not appear to be foot friendly. On the APMA's website, there is a list of good quality sandals and what to look for in a sandal. Typically we look for a sandal with good heel and arch support in them. One should also avoid prolong wearing of sandals as this can increase foot pain. Snooki's sandals appear to be very flat with no cushion, no heel or arch support. Wearing this type of sandal can cause foot pain. Typically we will see this in the arch area as well as the heel and the ankle.

The following list of sandals and flip flops have the APMA seal of acceptance.
