Details
While flip-flops are generally considered casual footwear, they do offer some benefits:
Lightweight and Breathable: Flip-flops are often made from lightweight materials like rubber or synthetic materials, making them comfortable and breathable in warm weather.
Easy to Slip On and Off: Flip-flops are easy to put on and take off, making them convenient for quick errands or beach trips.
Water-Friendly: They are ideal for wearing around pools, beaches, or other wet environments.

However, it's important to note that flip-flops lack proper arch support and cushioning, which can lead to foot pain and discomfort if worn for extended periods.
Here are some potential problems associated with wearing flip-flops:
Plantar fasciitis: This condition causes pain in the heel due to inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. Flip-flops can contribute to this by putting extra strain on the ligament.   
Achilles tendonitis: This condition is caused by inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects your calf muscle to your heel bone. Flip-flops can increase the risk of Achilles tendonitis by putting extra stress on the tendon.   
Poor posture: Flip-flops can affect your posture by causing you to arch your back and tilt your pelvis forward. This can lead to back pain and other problems
Increased risk of falls: Flip-flops can be slippery, especially when wet or muddy, which can increase your risk of falls and injuries.
