do you like "flip-flops"?
 
summer is here in full swing.

i have a problem with things stuck between my toes. stupid i know. it just isnt comfy. anyone rocking flip-flops?

some guys: can pull off the look and the only disadvantage i see is you cannot run fast to escape the throng of summer warmed hot chicks trying to get with you and your perfect feet.

others? wow..i have seem some jankyass feet.. saw an older dude yesterday rocking dress socks and flip flops.

i'm planning a pig bowhunting trip in Hawaii. my buddy said to pack light..some camo, my light boots and flip-flops. wut?

They give me calf cramps after a day of wearing them.

Flip-flops no, crocs yes.

This is the only reason I don't wear flip-flops. :cool:

Of course I don't, because my feet begrudgingly fit into my work shoes after a weekend of floppin'.

LOL. Sandals are for girls. I don't want to see your feet!

I refuse to wear flip flops for the exact same reason. According to my wife that makes me some sort of freak. :)

I live in flip flops during the summer! I even wear them at that the track.

These are my favorites:

^^ This - these are the most comfortable flip flops I've ever worn. They have fantastic arch support and are comfortable all day, day in and day out. My DD's outside the office when the weather's warm.

I have two types, the thong type and the type that has the flap that goes over the tops of my feet. I'm using the thong type today. I use them during hot weather or when I don't want to be taking shoes on & off. I don't worry about the appearance of my feet, since I has an older lady years ago at a pool party comment on how beautiful my feet were. Creepy!

I have been blissfully unaware of this term until recently. Growing up, wearing a pair of 'slippers', as we call them, is a must around the house. Cheap. Rubber. Think $1 a pair Old Navy type.

And if you are going outside, you have a different pair for that. You don't want the dirt from outside to get on the recently cleaned floor. :)

And we wore them everywhere. Walking. Biking. Impromptu pick up basketball games. It was the tropics.

They make flip-flops for men?

Not there there's anything wrong with it.

I've lived in Florida all my life and only started wearing them 5-6 years ago. When I was a kid, there were guys wearing them to HS. I now have two pairs; one for the house and one for public viewing. I am conscious of how white my feet are when I where them out. I look like a tourist instead of a native. :(

Oh Haha 06-22-2015 10:27 AM

Can't stand them or the annoying 'slap, slap" sound they make. I swear the people who wear them enjoy that sound and try to annoy everyone else around them with it.

My daughter wears them but somehow manages to NOT make that sound.

either the slap, slap sound or dragging feet like they're skating

Only girls or gay men wear sandals.....

mistertate 06-22-2015 10:51 AM

I try to only wear them with dress slacks and a t-shirt that says 'Troxel Family Reunion 2008'
I don't know who the Troxels are

sammyg2 06-22-2015 10:55 AM

I wear flip-flops from April to November every year, everywhere except work.

Outside of work the standard fare is Hawaiian shirt (or t-shirt if doing chores) and shorts with lots O'pockets and flip-flops.

I attend a casual dress service at church so I can wear sandals there too just like Jesus wore.

EDIT
This may be a regional thing.
In coastal cities or very warm regions flip flops may be more acceptable than in other places.

in So Cal flip flops are as common as bottled water.
Maybe in others places they are not.
it's also very possible that folks who live in places where flip flops are common take better care of their footsies and toe-nails that folks who live ...... elsewhere.

Howz that fer being PC and not telling anyone to go do bad things to themselves?
I'm so pround. :)
