Why do so many women wear flip-flops?

I wrote my #155 on this thread before I read your posts #97 and #98... Go take a look if you get a chance....

I never tried the real crocs, but loved the airwalk crocs, which rumor has that they have been discontinued. Which was too bad because they were about $15.00 and usually you could get them on a BOGO 1/2 off, so 2 pair for ~22.50... They did change the material and they got “stiffer” feeling, not quite like walking on a cloud.

The drawback that remains for them is they do get rather hot, even with the little cut out holes.

If you get to my 155 you’ll see my feet are trashed and the rest of my joints not far behind. But also along the thread I came across a few posts about flip flops being good for knees, which ties in with the concern my orthopedisists have about the orthotics they gave me throwing my knees into a tailspin and kind of supports my chiro’s view to go with as flat a shoe as possible, forget arch support, etc., go ahead and pronate (He says he’s going to fix me up regardless...)

My dogs are pretty good about not being overly critical about my fashion choices. But then they also bump the bathroom door open to make sure I haven’t left through some hidden portal, so I think overall they’re pretty happy when I’m at least wearing something... LOL...

Hate hate hate flip flops. They aren’t even comfortable with that thing between the toes and no arch support.

I feel the same way about the flat, rubbery shoes formerly known as thongs but which are now called flip flops. They make your walk sloppy.

That’s not “new”...

Flip-flops?

Is this a brand sponsored by Kerry?

Only liberal women wear them?

I LOVE my Clark's flip flops.....LOTS of arch support! They feel like I am wearing sneakers....with air conditioning.

Ugly, but the comfiest shoe ever invented.

I went to Hawaii last year and for the first time wore flip-flops. I now get the appeal of them. Comfortable in hot weather as your feet breathe and don't sweat. I used to wear deck shoes with my shorts in summer but on hot days, my feet can really get to smelling bad with them. Still, men in flip-flops look sort of dorky (unless you are vacationing in Hawaii or maybe on Key West) so I compromised with men's sandals that hide most of the feet but allow air to circulate.
