I agree with what you are saying. To satisfy the people in hot climates you need to say that flip flops are ok when you are wearing shorts. If you are wearing pants and flip flops then you look like a douche.

Maybe someone in Jersey would look like a douche, but here in SD this is the norm. Most of the time you probably look more out of whack wearing shoes than flip flops.

Goddammit. Stop with the flip-flops unless there's sand or carpet beneath them. You look like a jackass and I certainly don't need to hear the sound of them scraping the ground everywhere you walk.

Well said yesterday it was freezing here (70 or so) and I don't think I saw more than 10 people not wearing Reefs or Rainbows in this area...

Where's the waaaaahmbulance when you need it? I lived in Miami for 3 years. Never wore flip-flops once. Shorts year-round and sneakers were fine. But I didn't mind seeing Tevas, Birkenstocks, or other variety of sandals. Flip-flops are for dorm-hall bathrooms.

The ones from Old Navy that cost $3, yes. I think a nice pair of Reefs is perfectly acceptable in public, though.

I do agree with you in one sense though...people should pick up their damn feet when wearing them.

no. but i also don't get carried away when people do, its really a dumb thing to get worked up about.

basically when its hot i want as little on me as possible, end of discussion. i don't see where that is a problem, plus i spend a lot of time in my offseason around a lakehouse where my feet will be in and out of water so they are a must (if you dig up an old thread about this EXACT SAME SUBJECT you will see that peachy mentioned this as well).

i don't use the ignore function, i feel everyone at one point will have something to offer.

peachy may annoy you but she has owned a bj thread and its nice to have her female perspective on a lot of topics in a forum that is 90+% male.

i have only used the ignore function once (for something stupid like disagreeing about a movie or something) and then took him off quickly realizing it was dumb, a month later he was posting in the mid/high with some gems.

I love mine in the summer because of one thing, they have a bottle opener on the bottom of each shoe. Best thing when you are sailing!

I opened this thread intending to post about these if they hadn't been already. Living in a colder climate I wear mine basically from May-September exclusively unless I am going somewhere where footwear matters. Thankfully I make my money from a certain game that some people play and this means there are few times where sandals are not appropriate footwear for me in nice weather. Once its below 50 or so, its back to sneakers and then boots in the snow, but I am always waiting for that time of year when I can wear my Reefs. So comfortable and so practical with the bottle-opener.

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

I never wear sandals (unless I'm at the beach). I'm a sneaker/shoe/boot guy all year round. However, I really couldn't care less what other guys choose to wear. Some guys pull it off fine. Same with girls. I think girls can definitely look hot in flip flops and sandals. Unless of course she's wearing something like...

http://usera.imagecave.com/itsallgoo...glysandals.jpg

I don't think anyone should ever wear a sandal that looks like that. Ever. Period. It's just...fugly. If you are a guy and you wear these, that's your choice, but I'm telling you, these are severely hurting your chance of getting laid. Ever. Again. Just warning you.

Some dumb points that were made

- They are the most comfortable thing ever!!!!!!
Uh, no. I will just leave this one as it is tbh.

- FU, I live in Florida and it's 100 degrees all year round!!!!!
um, no

- Dude, that bottle opener is so useful in summer!!!
[i]This was the one that made me laugh the most. Yeah, cos you spend your entire summer opening bottles of beer. And there is never a bottle opener nearby. And it would be far too inconvenient to reach over to the table to get one, or have one as a keyring. Yep, I can totally see the benefits. Your flip-flops rule!

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

If you pride yourself on hating flip flops, you're really hitting the bottom of the barrel.

And I agree with the Tiva hating crowd, they are Satan's shoes. Ugliest footwear next to Ugs.

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

You don't find them more comfortable than shoes?

I'm not sure how someone living in Florida is not a "point" in favor of wearing flip flops, for them.

Of the three points above, only one seems to make sense ,and that is that a bottle cap opener isn't super useful in a shoe. This doesn't seem to be a stunning point to prevail on no matter how much or little you like flip flops though, so I'm not sure why anyone bothered.

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

No, I do not find them more comfortable than shoes, and no, the weather is not 90 degrees 364 days a year in Florida.

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

Yeti,

I agree with you. I've never found them at all comfortable. I really don't care what anyone else wears, but I don't like them myself. As for the argument about heat, my ass sweats when it's 90 degrees out, but that doesn't mean I walk around wearing nothing but a g-string. Why? Because I'd look and feel like an idiot. It's the same with flip flops. I figure everyone has a right to look like a tool if they want to, but why not just get some regular sandals?

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

Obviously whether you find them comfortable or not means nothing to anybody but you. Personally I think you're nuts regarding that, but who cares?

However, clearly quite considerable millions of people do find them more comfortable. The idea that they should listen to anybody else's opinions on it is ridiculous. Tend to your own feet, ya pervert, and stop worrying about anyone else's!

If ever I thought OOT prequalified posters as people with too much time on their hands ...

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

Flip flops are farking hot on chicks.

End of story.

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

Blarg, I find it pretty ironic that you are defending flip-flops to the death whilst simultaneously taking pot-shots at those who have expressed their dislike for them as 'people with too much time on their hands'.

Ok, the end.

[/ QUOTE ]
out of everything i have worn i have found that flip flops are tighter on my feet and tend to be light and less bulky than any other sandal.

i remember in high school when doc martin sandals were popular, they felt like blocks of cement on my feet, i hated them...its not like i am going to run a race or anything but it goes with comfortability.

as for the people that don't like the way flip-flops feel i can understand this b/c at first i thought they felt funny on my feet too...but the material of the pad soaked up water the best for when i was getting in and out of my boat at the lake house and after one weekend they actually felt great on my feet. i guess you have to get used to them, kind of like coffee or wine i guess.

and FWIW i could give a rat's ass what i look like, in 100+ degree weather i would walk around in a g-string if it were accepted and i wouldn't lose all my friends and family b/c they thought i was now a wannabe transvestite.

I'm not the one talking about what people should do with their feet. I'm the one saying objecting to something like flip flops is dumb. All the more so when the objections are pretty goofy, like saying shoes are more comfortable. Whaaaa?

You've got the arrow pointing the wrong way.

There are people in Madison still wearing these [censored] things in goddamn December with snow all over the place. Retarded. Wear some goddamn shoes.

If the weather was like Cali's, I'd not mind.

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

Yeti,
Have you worn Rainbow sandals? How can you say they are ot more comfrtable than shoes?

EXACTLY, you have no clue.

And to all claiming they have "the most comfortable sandals" that aren't rainbows, sorry. They are simply the most comfortable footwear you can have (although they take a week of wearing to wear in).

Re: Flip-flops: are we done with them yet?
 

I agree with OP. Guiy's feet are nasty to look at - but more than that - flip flops always convey that redneck/lazy/trailer trash image. Sorry, no getting around that one.

As for women, they have thousand of open toe options better than these hideous pieces of colored styrofoam.
