The dream of most beach brides and grooms is to be able to walk down the “aisle” barefoot. While romantic, there’s one thing a lot of people tend to forget—sand gets hot. You want to look happy on your wedding day, not like your walking over burning coals. We found five flip-flop fixes for hot feet that still allow you to show off your tootsies, but keep the scorch level at a minimum.
