“In Florida, when I was a kid, sandals were for girls.”
That was then. Now Sandals are a staple for all. I wear them 360 days a year.
I just hope you don’t wear them with socks.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that...:-)
I do not wear or own sandals or flip flops. Sandals seem girlish to me, and flip flops seem trashy. Even in my seventh decade, the child of my youth rules my sense of style and taste.
