Yes!! That too! Just absolutely grates on my nerves.

Flip flops are my daily go to foot wear. They are also my default for travel - so easy on the airplane and through security checks. The only time I regretted them was when I had to walk to the outdoor rental car facility in Omaha, it was January...

When I was a kid I liked them. Then I became a man and no more flip flops. Just my experience. Yours may vary.

Enjoying a penis in your butt is 'ghay'
Flip flops, not so much.
Easy on and off summer wear, nothing wrong with it. ( + my GF says I have nice feet. )

Unless I'm at a wedding or a funeral, I'm in flip flops...and that's all year round. I like the Quicksilver ones with the bottle opener.

Chocaholic 06-22-2015 11:18 AM

Please tell me you don't wear them while traveling. Rancid greenish-yellow nails and crusty skin are not what the world wants to see hanging out in the airplane aisle when you cross your legs, so all can enjoy the view.

I'm with JavaBrewer...traveling in flip flops is BEST reason to wear them. Maybe it's a SoCal beach city thing.

This has gotta be a regional thing.

Living in SoCal, flip-flops are so common as to be not even noticeable. I live a stone's throw from the Rainbow Sandal factory and they are my daily footwear, now that I'm retired. There were only two days, this year, that I didn't wear them--the two days it rained in Capistrano Beach.

Even here in flip-flop heaven, wearing socks with them is the ultimate fashion faux pas.

My standard footwear in the summer. I'm more than confident enough in my masculinity, that I couldn't give a flying fugg what anyone thinks.

They're right off Pico, right?

I'll have to stop in and check them out. I just hope the hot babes can take it.

Yep, in the little light industrial park.

If I pull out the track days and heavy yard work, I can honestly say that I haven't been in shoes more than 10 times in the last year.

Daily drivers in the back. My fancy leather ones for upscale dinners and gatherings up front.

I wear flip flops whenever possible... I even have "dress up" ones for when I want to stay classy! :)

Rainbows Sandels San Clemente.

Ha, I saw those ones. Quite nice flip flops as well as being multi-purpose.

Living at the beach; it's kinda the dress code around here for the whole summer.
