Bleh! that sound gives me the willies!


if they at least made some kind of absorbent foot pad that prevented that sound from happening, i could at least just avert my eyes from the flip-floppal region whenever someone feels the need to wear those items on THE TEMPLE THAT IS THEIR BODY. disbelief


then they'd be called moosh mooshes

Crocs are either the evolution of the flip-flop (to hide the nasty toe-meat) or the devolution of the clog (cuz wood is _____ ) shrug

I love clogs! big grin



I hate flip flops. I have several reasons for hating flip flops.
One they rub me the wrong way when I wear them. I have a hard time finding ones that are comfortable. I found a pair when we went to Sardinia. As I walked along the beach with them on, they kicked sand up on to the back of my leg. It hurt!
I also hate the horrible sound they make when ppl wear them on hard surfaces.
There are plenty of cute sandals out there, no need for flip flops.

Oh and I have very cute feet. The best part of my body in my opinion.

I love flip flops and I have recently invested in a pair of Fit Flops! They're great...a workout while you walk (apparently!) I keep my feet in good condition, something I always have done since working in a shoe shop many moons ago! Very important to look after your feet.

These are the fit flops I have...very comfy

I agree with this wholeheartedly. People who judge others based on their clothing and appearance are lower than low in my book.

I don't wear flip flops (unless I'm at a swimming pool or something), but I have no problem with them.

If I was going to break down and wear them last week would have been the week. I have an awesome pair of Clark sandals that have adjustable straps, those did the trick.
I cannot stand anything rubbing in between my toes.

Personally, I hate flip-flops. On women, it looks like they just stopped getting dressed. My supervisor wears them with business suits! WTF! eek It looks like she was in the car and thought "doh! Damn! I forgot to put on my shoes!"

9 out of 10 times people wear them until they're run over on one side and either their heels or their big toes are dragging on the ground. shake

And that sound... "flip-flip-flip" confused

Nope. Flip-flops when I leave the nail salon after a pedicure.
And someone said in the shower at the gym. nod
NOT as a wardrobe item. hmph!

Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

Thank you.

I would add that I want to beat people who just drag them along on the floor or pavement. Pick up your goddamn feet, lazyass! mad

Men or women...If ur feet are clean and look decent enough for flip flops, I see no problem with it.

But if u come outside and ur toes look like u stuck them in a meat grinder then set them on fire.... why would u do that to urself? disbelief

I don't like that slapping noise they make when you're walking. but to each his own. Just don't wear them with white socks like Prince does. disbelief

I love flip-flops.....I wouldn't wear them much in the city though, especially not in Bangkok. I remember going out at night in BKK with people who were wearing them and they were refused entrance at several places. I think that's correct!

Apart from that, nothing wrong with flip-flops, love them.....
