Reading this, I enjoyed it so far ! As a guy who lives in Colorado, I don’t wear flip flops but Teva sandals. Like some other Coloradoans, I wear them year round. I am currently in California and I talked to this girl tonight who goes to school in Denver and she made a remark that quite a few Coloradoans wear them even in the winter time.
Funny thing, I very rarely wear shoes and wear my Tevas even when ushering at church on Sunday. At home with my wife being Japanese and no shoes in the house rule, sandals are much easier to put on and take off than shoes.
Now get this, I go walking with the dog every morning for about 4 miles.
Lighten up - that's 28 miles for him.
You’re thinking too hard about this.
I can’t stand them. I hate the way they feel between my toes so I wear leather sandals.
Bush’s fault?
Island Girl completely doesn’t understand this thread. I’m sitting here with my beautiful, freshly pedicured toes thinking who in the world would cram them into nasty, uncomfortable shoes. Hawaii girls have lovely feet, by the way, because we grew up barefoot. I’m going off to admire my sparkly pink toes enhanced with Swarovski crystals, thank you very much....
If you’re coming to visit, Smiley Nails in Kaimuki is The Place!
I heard that the second toe being longer than the others is a sign of intelligence, or something. :o)
Guilty. Although in my defense, the weather is only warm enough here 2 weeks in the middle of July. I blame memory loss.
Personally, I’d take flip flops over crocs, and either over heels. But then I’m strange, so.
On a frigid 10 degree January morning in south central Pennsylvania my brother and I were in a place of business when he nudged me and motioned in the direction of a woman who had just come in the door; wearing flip-flops! As she walked past us he made this remark: “Behold the weaker sex.”
Yeah! Weaker sex. Anything that can bleed for 5 days every month, and keep on truckin’ as though nothing had happened, is not to be messed with!
And...those cheap plastic flip-flops get “blow-outs” quite easily, if I remember correctly.
The apocalypse has arrived.
real as can be:~

Those are nice, but how do you keep your feet from sliding out/off the back when you walk? Never could get that part down.
They also show off big, ugly, crooked feet. Most often on hugely overweight women. Once sat next to a woman wearing flip-flops who had dirt under her toe nails and fungus on some nails, brown and crooked. Spoiled my appetite for days.
Flip-flops are Vietnamese dress shoes.
My husband says I have “cave-woman” feet. They are short but wide and I am convinced it was because we rarely wore shoes in the summer. Barefootin’ is the reason my feet are wide!!!
When I see so many women in flip flops I wonder if the sales of women dress shoe have gone down a bunch in the past few years. If so then don’t invest in womens shoe stocks. Maybe they wear flip flops instead of regular dress shoes so they can save money for other things like overpriced coffee, cell phone gadgets and i-pods.
Cause they’re convenient? I don’t wear my sandals very often, but I always make sure I have a pair of hush puppies handy.
I’m a woman, and I never found flip-flops comfortable at all. Like you, I always wear shoes or sneakers. There’s nothing bad-looking about my feet; I’m just more comfortable in shoes. It might be unusual for a woman to wear shoes all the time, though; I even wear shoes in the house. I know women who prefer to be barefoot all the time.
