ruled for rehab!

By Josh Rhea July 10, 2003

This spring, I broke my femur and hip skiing--it was a long, difficult recovery. As the months turned hot here in the desert that is Utah, I was dying to wear a pair of sandals, but my old flip-flops just didn't offer enough support for hobbling around on my crutches. I had fortunately purchased the Chongs about a week before my accident; they were an absolute lifesaver! The contoured footbed completely supported my foot and leg on my good side; then when I was able to lose the crutches and use a cane/walking stick, they completely stabilized the weak leg. I could not have worn sandals in this blazing heat otherwise...I was so stoked. Now that I'm pretty much healed up, the Chongs continue to be one of my favorite sandals ever-you can do anything in them. (and I hate the ones that go behind your heel--if I want that, I'd wear shoes).
