Dammit, the flip-flops are back

[snowveil]

man I just don't GET flip flops. If you can wear them, great....but I've got a pair of mandals that I feel like every time I take a step I'm fighting to not send them flying off my feet into the eye of a young child.

I do wear a pair of sandals with a strap on the back of the heel though... great in the summer because you don't need socks and eff it, I'll show off my ugly scarred feet and nine toes dangit! :rockin:

They ARE ape feet

I've noticed most people with a flip flop phobia live north of the mason dixon line. Why is that?

Cold feet?

My only peeve about flip flops is the high priced ones. I bet my oldest daughter has 5 pairs of Rainbows at $50 a pop.

 

[SwampassJ]

You're all jealous. Where else can you get away with wearing flip flops, even on Christmas and still not be cold.

 

[DeafSmith]

Heh, I'm old enough to remember when flip-flops were called thongs. No, really! And what we call thongs now - well, I was too young to know about stuff like that.

I can't stand them. I told my wife that I could never wear them because they feel like they are going to come off on every step, or I have to pinch my toes to keep them on. She just looked at me like I was insane. And the south can have their flip flops. I'll keep my dental hygiene.

Well no wonder you dislike them so much you are supposed to wear them on your feet not eat them.

When you are subjected to white socks and sandals in November flip flops will cease to be a problem for you.

No, see that's just poor fashion sense. Flip-flops are simply evil. They are horrible for your feet and they are ugly.

I'm with Shecky on this one. We should start a regional meeting.

At my last job in Bridgeport CT (a completely urban community), there were a few girls who would wear them to work. An email went out and thankfully it stopped.

People need to realize what is and what isn't appropriate for certain places. Flip flops are perfectly acceptable when you're relaxing at home, on vacation on a beach somewhere or at a lake. Hell, even on a boat. At the office, no. In a city environment, no. Granted, maybe it's more acceptable in city environments in the south or in CA, but in the Northeast, if you're in Boston or NYC, you deserve to get your feet stepped on.

GAHHH!

Yet when he's 70 he'll be one of those black sock and flop ********.

This thread isn't the first time I've noticed that. Come live down here and tell me you won't wear flip-flops or sandals whenever you get the chance. I've invested more in several good pairs of Chaco sandals and flip-flops than I have regular shoes.

Sandals are ok. Having that thing between your toes is like wearing a thong. It's just "wrong". Uh... Not that I have ever worn a thong...

Agreed about the peg between the toes. Ech. But I wear the non-peg type 24/7.

Oh, and anyone with a big brother has been tortured by the famous wedgie thong maneuver.

feet are all disgusting. any 'shoe' that reveals more foot than necessary is from the devil.
and if i had a picture of my horrid monkey toes, i would post it and prove my point.

 

[DeathBrewer]

My masseuse told me yesterday that I have beautiful feet. 100% serious.

i would make her cry if i took my socks off.

 

[DeathBrewer]

I make sure to scrub my feet extra well before my massage and I also keep my feet very clean. I've only had atheletes foot once in my life and never had any other problems like that. All my friends have those problems and I live with some of them, so it's not spreading. I'm assuming they don't actually sit down in the shower and scrub their feet when they take a shower. I don't like stinky feet...I guess I'm kinda dedicated to keeping them clean.

I do need to clip some toenails, though. I'm runnin' outta socks!

 

[Homercidal]

Pitted Karatolysis will make you learn to keep your feet clean and dry. I promise.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Had to google that. Yuck.

Trust me, it smells worse than you think.

Y'know, my python boot is too tight
I couldn't get it off last night
A week went by, an now it's July
I finally got it off
And my girlfriend cried

 

[AnonyBrew]

I've been wearing my thongs for the past 2 weeks now. Nobody has said anything to me about it in public. Probably because most others are wearing them too.

Thongs = flip flops
