Forget plimsolls
It always irks me that people think plimsolls without socks are perfect footwear for summer. If you want to damage your feet, wear ill-fitting canvas shoes without socks every day. Placing canvas material next to the skin encourages the foot to dry out as it absorbs all moisture, also making them the smelliest type of footwear. Loose canvas rubs against pressure points, such as the back of the foot, hardening and cracking the skin with wear.
Without socks, feet are toe-to-toe with seams, which will encourage corns and callouses. Like a varnished floor, once shoes show signs of wear, you should replace them. As the insides wear, your shoes become more porous, and therefore drying, leading to increased friction, blisters and tough skin.
