Do you wear sandals?
Didn't want to hijack Vash 'flip-flop' thread.
I would like to get some sandals but bejebus you guys are blowing $75-$100 on sandals?!? I like the Vibram five fingers but for one thing my toes are not uniform so not sure they would work for me. Is there such a thing as a reasonably price sandal... or is this the old "you get what you pay for"?

My wife bought me a pair of those. I wore them twice. I still like the flip flops due to the fact that I don't have to bend down to hook the strap behind my ankle. I *****ed about the cost of my Columbia or what ever name brand they are. My wife is right, she's always right. These damn things lasted a long time. Whereas, cheaper ones would have fallen apart years ago. They wear like iron.

I didn't go through Vash's thread so maybe someone mentioned these, they seem to be a big seller in SoCal.

The bigger question: socks or no socks?

I got Teva's in Hawaii about 8 years ago best investment I've made, they've been in more oceans, rivers and lakes than I can count. Very sturdy, have had zero quality issues with them.

I have been wearing a pair of Keens for about a month now and and finding them to be a great pair. Same sole as my Keen steel-toe work boots. And I will wear a pair of SmartWool thin socks with them when it is cooler outside, like last week at Watkins Glen.

Sometimes. A pair I've had a long time. Leather with the sole made out of a tire.
Pretty good side grip in the twisty bits, too. Not so good during braking or in the wet.

My lifestyle requires solid footwear. No sandals.

and they are safety rated with a yellow triangle "Light industrial work environments that need both puncture and toe protection." No replacement for construction boots but close enough for me, and solid enough on my feet that I can push a car if I have to. ITs all my wife's fault for buying these now I never take them off (no socks)

I have Nike ACG sandals that are sadly NLA. Works fine. Fits nicely. Dries quickly. I think I paid 30 bucks 8 years ago. I only wear them to the beach or running errands on a hot day.

![]() I like this style for exactly the reason that some of the folks posted in the flip-flops thread, because of the heel strap, you can run in them if you need to without worrying about them falling off. They provide 95% of the functionality of a shoe while being cooler and more comfortable.
