My pet peeve is guys who wear sandals with white socks. What’s with that?

LOL! Guitly as charged! Every spring I do this to break my feet in so I don't get blisters right away. By mid-May the socks are gone.

In that case, why not wear sandals or open-toe “flats”?

I’m not a woman, but I would think flip flops would be very easy to put on (and take off if you’re in a culture where folks leave their shoes at the door) and they are also cheap.

And do these women have fancy manicured and polished toe nails? Unless they wear something like a flip flop, nobody’s going to see all the brightly colored nails. In that case, it’s the same reason a body builder wears a tank top—to show off all that hard work.

If you are a straight male, you know that the key to understanding women is in understanding their fashion choices, most particularly their shoes, and — you don’t care. Why would any sensible person wear spiked heels? A mystery, wrapped in an enigma. The feminine mystique.

The big question is why do so many people wear deck shoes or tennis shoes?

And T-shirts....What’s up with those?

IIRC, Jimmy Buffet had a song about flip-flops, and pop-tops, and maybe alcohol was a factor. Oh, and a woman was to blame.

Now, where did I put that shaker of salt.....

Very few women have the feet to pull of wearing flip flops all the time. I see a lot of women with hooven looking feet and 100 dollar pedicures. Huh? what a waste.

Like that picture above, those toes are fat as sausages, why would a woman want to let anyone see those?

Speaking as a non-woman, I don’t care for the thing between the toes on flip-flops. But sandals or bare feet? Whenever possible. When temperature allows, and their are no spinning blades or other hazards eminent, let those feet (and legs) free.

Well, here in Kansas it is the prickly pear cactus and the cow patties that dictate my footwear. I don’t even own flip flops.

Do they smell while indoors and do they stain the carpet?

So they won’t be pregnant and barefooted.

We wear them because our feet hurt. We have to wear dress-up, pointy-toed shoes and pantyhose during the workweek, and when we aren’t on duty it’s nice to not be in pain. Flip-flops are the closest we can get to being barefoot. You try walking around on your toes for 40 or 50 hours a week and you’ll want to go barefoot, too.

I love to dress with some formality, but I’m sitting here typing this wearing a Ralph Lauren dress and the fantastically comfortable J. Crew thick-soled flip-flops my daughter bought me for my last birthday. My feet feel good for a change.

There may be some other shoes that are comfortable too—my Topsiders and Bass loafers, my Ariat paddock boots and Vogel field boots are fine, too. But none of them all the freedom of having my feet squish out in all directions as the flip-flops do. Bliss!

I am with you on this. I do not even own flip flops or sandals and do not understand their appeal.

They kind of get a rhythm off of them that acts almost sort of like a pacifier to club dancing.

As you know, alcohol, dancing, and loud mind numbing music form the basis of modern foreplay.

Using flip flops, this is a pacifier for dancing
strap on an ipod for loud music
smoke some bud in the morning
you are on your way

so that is where the flip flops came from along with their amazing simplicity. You can be completely drunk, stoned, worn out from sex and dancing, and you somehow can still get them on your feet.
