Does Shoe Type Reduce Car Accidents?

I know all my fashion forward patients will hate me for this…but shoe type is also important to prevent car accidents, not just foot pain.

According to a recent report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, improper footwear worn while driving contributes to approximately 16,000 preventable pedal-error crashes each year.

Flip-flops, heavy boots and high heels have been among the primary causes of such incidents, according to the study, which suggests that drivers wear flat-soled or lightweight shoes whenever they’re behind the wheel. The link below will give you more information regarding proper footwear.
