Why don't you ever see athletes wearing flip flops when they compete?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46830points) July 13th, 2016

I mean, any athlete, be it a pro or a Sunday pick up game. You never see any adult running a marathon or a foot race in flip flops. Nor rock climbing, basketball, football, hiking, whatever. They always wear well fitting, all encompassing tennis shoes of some kind. Almost always. Occasionally they’re barefoot.

Why don’t they wear flip flops? Or sandals?
