oh my god, i hate flip flops. i hate them. HATE. any questions?

few things gross me out more than the sound of sweaty feet FLUP FLUP FLUPPING against the dirty rubber sole of a flip flop. ill barf ill

there's no sexy or graceful way to wear these things in public.

remember that.



Do you know that women now wear them to work as office attire?

Well, where I work, they let you where the flops on dress down day Fridays which I feel is still inappropriate. Sweaty toe jam makes me sick to my stomach.feeling ill

REDFEATHERS

Not only do ppl have accidents wearing them, but so many are unaware that the chemicals used to make flip flops are VERY DANGEROUS. When your feet sweat, you are letting these chemicals into your skin:


Phthalate is a manmade chemical used in many plastics, cosmetics and other consumer products. Research has shown that it may be interfering with prenatal male sexual development and causing smaller penis size and incomplete testicular descent.
Prior experiments with rats have shown that Phthalate interferes with testosterone during gestation and produces genital birth defects, infertility and testicular cancer. This is known as “phthalate syndrome.”

My Dad was just telling me about a nasty fall he took last night. He landed on the back of his head, big gash, lots of blood, very swollen (of course he doesn't go to the hospital or anything....) and the cause of it all ?
His bastard flip flops. (not sure what they are called internationally, but you know what I mean, those flippy floppy summer shoes with no traction whatsoever)

I myself took a fall in some 6 years ago and ended up in the flowerbed with a torn knee ligament.

Once I was walking down the boardwalk of our local beach and ended up in an unintended split in front of the whole crowd - again, with f*ing flip flops on.

Why people?
Why?
How many more people have to seriously injure themselves before we stop?

sad


sad Wow, I hope your dad is okay. Flip flops are not really safe shoes to wear, that's true, because the front of the shoe tends to get caught on things, thereby making the person wearing them trip.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

At least in Boston....


the offices i've worked at in new york and chicago have always had very specific rules against flip flops in the employee manuals. i remember one job even sent around an e-mail reminding staff never to come to work with flip-flops. love that!


giggle I hate the sound of flip flops in the office, that "snap, snap, snap" sound drives me nuts! Used to work with a woman who wore them on dress down Fridays, and I remember thinking that they should not be allowed in an office setting. Think I would rather go barefoot than wear flip flops, to be honest.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

There is a time and a place for flip-flops.

Folks have just gone mental about that recently.

I agree w/ Anxy (just not with quite the intensity)

I've seen flip-flops in the workplace and it's just icky.
I'm firmly planted in denial

I wear them to the pool and beach and my feet are beautiful and well cared for! I can pull off my socks and shoes anytime and not be embrassed by the condition of my feet. Pedicures are not just for women- it's essential for good foot health. You don't want to end up with fungus and yellow crusty toe nails.


...but my feet and toes are hairy! giggle


oh definitely. If you're gonna wear your feet out.....they have to look good. smile Whenever I'm too cheap to get them done professionally, I do those parrafin wraps at the end of the week along with my own pedicures. It really helps to soften the feet. I'm not super girly, but if my toes are out then most likely they're painted a pretty color.

I want (not to sound racial...cause I'm of the caucasian persuasion myself) white girls to get pedicures if they wear them.

Go onto any college campus and them girls....HAMMER TIME! asy, dirty, half polished. Baby girl! A home pedicure kit is so cheap and it only takes about half an hour (I know because I do my own).


This is a Public Service Announcement....White Chicks....let's do better and keep the toes done!!!

hmph! Well, when I was in college, I would say most got manicures w/the exception of some who rebeled against societal norms.My college was pretty consevative. However, there were different cliques based on your major.
