I dress like bum, I walk like a bum.

Therefore, I am a bum.

Now go away.

Wow. Every post you make I want to be less and less like you!

Well at least you're not a douche. ;)

Ok, what's with all the black mold growing under your toe-nails, and why would anyone want to see that? Look at the picture above, then look at any picture in the chest thread. Do you see a difference?

Puhleeez....cover those things up. Life it too short.

Why not both?

You mean the Mick Fanning models....I went through about 4 pair of those back in '06!

Now I'm rocking Croc flops!

Don't worry, I assure you that you are not like me.

Take a bullet, for a PPL? There are a few things that I can think about that, but success is not one of them. And as long as you're defining yourself in the eyes of others, you might as well just concede that you think it's important what others think of you too, no?

Well, when I was young, hitting the beach & surfing everyday, I wore them, Rainbow flip flops, then I went decades not wearing them, and a few years ago, my doc suggested that I lighten up, maybe even start wearing flip flops, so I ordered some Sperrys, and love em, don't wear them much outside of the house or the beach, but by getting a higher quality pair, they don't have the typical "flip-flop" issues other talk about, and Sperry has a great warranty, already replaced 2 pair. :cool:
but I draw the line & crocs:p

They used to be called "thongs." They were made fashionable again by famous gay French fashion designer Phillipe Philloppe, hence the new name.

For me, I have tender toes and I do too many things that could get them smashed. I'm in steel toed boots way more often than I'm in flip flops.

Me at Rennsport Reunion II.......dressed for success!

Not particuarly. You just amuse me.

I have shared this thread with a few friends and we laughed our asses off. That was worth responding. Thanks!

Oh and thanks for the link to the Hokua. I just ordered a pair.

Socks and sandals. Mr. Cool :D

Hey....I can embrace being a nerd as much as the next guy!!!

I doubt anyone would take a bullet for me though, NC....that's pretty special, mate.

I'm probably nerdier than you anyway, lol. :D

Wow this got wild.

Hold on....

I wear flip flops often.

Particularly in the evening around the house. Much better than slippers.

Its got to be a regional issue. Thongs vs docksides ( thats what we called them in upstate NY )

Speaking of slippers, I like to wear the ugg slippers with the soft wholly lining.

I hope that doesn't make me a degenerate.

No one should make the mistake of starting a slipper thread or else nobody will speak to each other again.

hmmmmmmmm



ps- I say no to crocs:)

At least they weren't Black.

lmao

Nothing wrong with a comfortable pair of flip flops. I like them on vacation, at the beach, or for quick turnarounds in/out of the house. Think repeated trips to the grill, taking out the trash, grabbing the mail, etc.

I, however, absolutely cannot drive the 911 wearing flip flops. The combination of bottom-hinged pedals, heavy cable clutch (flops always slide up and down my foot), and a complete loss of heal/toe ability means no flip flops driving the 911. How do you guys do it?

On occasion I have resorted to keeping a pair of more secure sandals or old sneakers behind the seat I can slip on to drive and then return to the flip flops after arrival at my destination.

PERFECT! Baz, you "lazy slob". Pull the socks and you look just like one of my posse...You know...us unsuccessful and retired lazy slobs who aren't "building $5MM in property" while wearing Sperry topsiders.

My youngest trying on her sister's. We buy th cheap ones. They are more for utility than fashion.

When I am wearing flip flops and will be driving, I slip the flip flops off and drive barefooted. I heel toe better barefooted than I do with shoes on!

+1 Me too. I slip them right under the seat.

First impressions Rusnak? My best friend...A Ph.D. Chemist who sold his medical laboratory to a $9 Billion NYSE company for $30MM. This is him dressing up for our tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. The LAZY SLOB. There were people getting off the cruise ships dressed just like you! They were extremely impressive…and more successful I'm sure.

The great thing about those type of flip-flops (called 'slides' as you know) is you CAN wear your socks!

That said.....somewhere I have a pair of those socks made for thong type flip flops with the separate big toe....now those were cool!

Slides for me as well. I cant stand the thingy in between my toes either.

But for the love of god, please don't wear the sandal looking things like that guy in the picture above.

Manuel Antonio is awesome.

met this guy there.. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1435033655.jpg

That's where mine go too!

And a $30,000 weekend Targa in the garage? :eek:

In Ohio the flip-flop ensemble for women is to wear them with flannel pajama bottoms - everywhere. I saw a girl dressed in flip-flops and pajama bottoms at a $100 a plate dinner.

I drive barefoot all the time, in the summer. I do the same, slip them right under the seat. Considering, I spend most of my time wearing tactical or fire boots, I like having my feet free and aired out. So it's either flip-flops, Vans or boat shoes.

.

Last time, I blew out my flip flop....

I wish I could wear them but I could probably win an ugly feet competition hands down.....

Maybe I should look at some Crocs for summer. Seems they make them in different width sizing now.

This is where I'm at as well. My wife just bought me a pair of OOFOS flip flops that she said are good for PF. I used to walk around barefoot around the house. I'm going to try wearing those. I don't like wearing them and doubt I'll wear them too much outside of the house.

I like slippers. I've been retired since 2003 and t-shirt, shorts and slippers used to be my daily dress. Last year, the gf bought me some Tommy Bahama boat shoes that are really, really light and have been buying them ever since. If I never got those I'd be burning up slippers every three months, and that's with a rotation of boat shoes. I guess I've matured to daily shoe use since I hit 50.

Bill - I love my Crocs! VERY comfortable but you have to get a style that fits you and feels right. I have purchased many directly from Crocs.com but sometimes retail stores stock them. If you buy a pair and decide they aren't what you want you can get a refund too. The Croc Classic is a pretty safe style to go with for a first time user. Those air holes provide a ton of ventilation - something a guy like you would REALLY appreciate! :D

What a strange thread. I wear the Adidas rubber sandals for years in the summer, I tend to take a lot of long road trips and like kicking them off and driving barefoot when it's hot. I had a PU truck a couple years ago this the PO had put a piece of AstroTurf in as a floor mat on drivers side, it was almost like having my bare feet in the grass. Sublime. :)

i wonder what would have happened if this was a Birkenstock thread instead :D

I don't quite understand Rusnak's POV, (other than he likes being a contrary guy); whom am I supposed to be making an impression on when I go to Home Depot or stop for gas or the dozens of other times that strangers might see my footwear? Some prick with a mediocre life who's obsessed with status uniforms in society? :confused:

I actually do agree that it has value to dress appropriately for various situations and that this can vary for different regions and whether urban/rural/etc. When you are in the bread basket of America, (farm country anywhere), men all pretty much dress the same with flannel shirts and trucker hats to be warm and comfortable and keep the sun off their nose. You cannot tell who the gazillionaires are and I like it like that. In my crowd, you would look down on people who are brilliant, incredibly generous and wealthy beyond your dreams. People whose biggest challenge is how to give away hundreds of millions this year. The dress code is a little different from someone who thinks that $5M is a huge amount of RE. :)

Great post, Denis!
