Foot injury is more common in summer

It’s the wurst-case scenario.

People are prone to toe injuries big and small in the summer because they’re playing outside more, wearing less-protective footwear, such as sandals and flip-flops, and walking barefoot on hot surfaces like pavement and sand.

A broken toe might seem like a minor inconvenience, but dismissing it means you’re left with the dreaded, red and swollen “sausage toe” — and must banish those toe-tally cute kitten heels and wedges to the back of the closet for now.
