Summer time equals flip flops, at least in my mind. They are great in hot weather because my feet never over heat, but as footwear they lack structure and arch support. After wearing them for hours my arches can get a little over tired and sore, on those occasions I pull out my foot roller and give my tired dogs a little massage. Not only does the massage make my feet feel better, it rejuvenates my entire body. Maybe there is something to the foot reflexology.

The best thing about this foot massage is that it is cheap and convenient. A dowel style foot roller generally costs under $10. Buy one from Black Pearl Botanicals for $6.95. Heck, if you are handy with tools you can probably make your own.

Fit's Tip: These rollers work best if you stand up while rolling your feet, while sitting and rolling might be relaxing it is just not as effective.
