There was a woman at the public library yesterday... I almost tackled her to the ground I was so irritated. It sounded as loud as gunshots.

LOLOLOLOL!!! A fellow sufferer...I keep screaming (mentally), "PICK UP YOUR DAMN FEET!!"

Are you some new kind of shoe fetishist?
What does software have to do with shoes?
Is this a shoe made from a recycled CD ?

Ha, those things sure do look wide enough to fit the whole *family* into one pair. ;-)

Except for the beach or around the house, lounging on the lanai and such, I don’t understand the allure of the rubbah slippah. Shoe stores in Hawaii are filled with selections of much nicer thong-type sandals (e.g. leather with sturdy heels), so why do people wear the rubber to the mall or restaurants? And I’d never seen cheap rubber flip-flops with high, wedge heels until I lived in Hawaii. Cheesy pink rubbah slippahs with 4 in. wedge heels, with sequins even... Stacy London would be horrified, although she might secretly wish to own a pair, lol.

No you are not. Flip flops are hideous. Most people, if they knew their feet were as disgusting as they are would wear boots all of the time. However, there are a few feet that are actually pretty. But most are not.

Back in the day they were called “shower shoes”, and folks in the barraks wore them to keep from getting foot fungus when they hit the showers.

Whenever I see them, I think of foot fungus, that bothers me more than the suck.

I love boots. All kinds of boots. They keep your feet well protected when riding & I would wear them all the time if it didn’t get so hot here. I don’t even mind the heels on some of my boots. You are correct...most feet aren’t very pretty.

I love cowboy boots and cowboy hats. John Wayne, you know. It just makes you feel better. I used to love Beatle Boots too.

You’re right. I have expensive dress shoes that make more noise than flip flops. I wear them all summer. I either wear dressy ones that are not flat and have sequins on the straps or Rainbows which cost about $45.00 a pair. I get regular pedicures and my toenails are always painted. I am always getting compliments from other women on both my lime green and my aquamarine flip flops. I think some of these people need to get a life and worry about something that's really important - like the war against militant Islam!

I love my cowboy hats too. Never wore the beatle boots but I’ve got a closet full of boots. All kinds of boots. When my favorite cowboy boots got too worn out I planted a cactus in one of them. Goes well with the southwestern stuff in my living room. I really didn’t want to part with that pair.

constant SUCK-flap

Well, uh, after 'constant SUCK' it will go 'flap'. That's how it works.

Punch the Hippies

I can't say this should be advised for all hippies. I have a friend with hippie viewpoints. He's not a radical leftist freak and he's just groovy to talk to. Of course, he's busy self loathing right now, since I sent him an article posted here yesterday about what liberals supposedly think and realized he was supposed to hate himself.

Right on!

Refer these morons to the study that came out this week saying doctors are very much against flip-flops. They cause shin-splints, etc., etc.

Last time I wore flip-flops was when I was in the Marine Corps. They actually issued them in boot camp as part of the uniform. Of course, they were only intended to be worn when taking a shower. Otherwise, they were considered women's footwear and we wouldn't be caught dead in them.

That said, I don't see what the big controversy is. Many of the women wear them around these parts and the "slip-slap" noise they make is no more annoying to me than the "click-clack" of their high heels.

I remember when I first started out in the business world, suits were mandatory. I'm talking Oxford shoes, a full suit (with vest) and shirt and tie. It was so uncomfortable. Now the basic dress code for men is khakis, penny loafers and a cotton shirt (short sleeve polo in summer). Even for upper management. Sure, we will throw on a suit for important meetings and such but basically it's business casual. So much more comfortable and personally, I'm much more productive during the day. Definitely don't want to go back to the old dress code.

Then again, you'll never catch me at work in shorts, T-shirts or flip-flops. I guess I'm just old-fashioned like that.
