I like to wear flip flops in the summertime and in warm countries. I wouldn´t wear them in a restaurant (well, that probably depends on the country) and I would definitely not go out with flip flops but other than that, I find them VERY comfortable and much more hygienic compared to wearing tennis shoes or leather shoes in the summertime.
I can´t stand sandals though. Now those are fucking ugly and corny looking.

Flip flops are only ok on a dude at the beach. Hell, sandles are only allowed at the beach too.

I hate anything but a nice pair of kicks on a guy in the summer.

I've seen a few higher-end flip flops that seem designed with some artful intention. Otherwise, I think they're sorta like the fast food of footwear: Mindless, quick, cheap, ubiquitous, immediately gratifying, but not at all good for any of us. shake

A nice pair of real sandals, though, make the world go 'round. nod

A coworker was always trying to convince me that because she spent $100. on hers, they were superior. confused
They were still damn flip flops; she just paid too much. rolleyes

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



Yes! highfive


The only time I wear flipflops is when I'm going to the nail salon - because they are pretty much the only shoes that won't jack up fresh toenail polish.

I have a ton of cute sandals. But except for the one pair of flipflops I own, none go between my toes. I find that extremely uncomfortable. disbelief

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.

Hater! hmph!

I don't particularly like the flip flop sound (flip, flop, flip, flop)... but I do appreciate my flip flops.

Wearing flip flops as much as you do is very unhealthy and bad for your feet Fauxie sad


sad Why? I used to have problems with them not providing much support and ending up hurting my ankles and lower leg, but since I do calf raises now and walk around on tip-toes a fair bit (because I can!) I don't have that problem.

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.....


Dude, I'm 'loso' so it doesn't enter my mind whether flip-flops will keep me out of a club. lol

It's kinda sad that when I put on normal shoes it feels like dressing up to me now. falloff

Maybe I am just a slob, but I don't think so. I think I dress ok and I don't think my flip-flops are the most basic, rubbery, cheap kind. shrug

lol How about barefoot, is that worse then? I walk around barefoot in the streets around here. That's even better! It's complete freedom. Sometimes I can't be bothered to go upstairs and get my flip-flops (if they're downstairs our dog chews them) so I just walk outside as is. Is that worse? lol

Is it not good to walk to the shop barefoot and with long, loose fitting pajama bottoms on? shrug I just want to be comfortable.

I bought flip flops for what i'm pretty sure was the first time a couple of weeks ago, oh my gosh cloud9 IN LOVE.

I don't wear them if i'm going out for anything major tho(I can't dance in them anyway). and not if I'm going to be at somebody else's house, that just seems gross to me confused

I can't imagine going to the local wet market in anything else. I'd feel totally overdressed. In jeans too. Actually, lots of places in Thailand I'd feel overdressed wearing jeans and/or regular closed toe shoes. Trousers and shoes are for shopping in the city, going out to a restaurant or bar in the city, weddings, formal work settings and trips to immigration/police station/district office etc.

If I walk out on to the street in jeans and shoes and my next door neighbour sees me she'll ask if I'm going somewhere special. lol

And yet, I love shoes. smile
