agreed ^^

[john11f]

To each his own guys. I respect your opinion.

[jepmonk]

the sound of flip flops makes my ears cringe

[neawts]

Flip flops are a cancerous lesion on society. Combine them with pants and you may trigger the Apocalypse. Check Revelations. What do you think people wore back then?

[Le Dirte]

Haha, yesterday it was like 20 degrees and i saw this dude totally sporting the jeans and flip flops. I took one look at his feet and cringed at how cold and red they were. What the hell was the dude thinking? Does anything think like that around here??

[cheapmuthafukr]

i live in florida, near the ocean, and will not wear em. in the summer its jeans and sneakers... or if its really hot ill wear my desert treks w/o socks... but i hate damn flip flops. wont even wear em to the beach.

[juxtaposed]

sorry i dont share all your views. i am a huge fan of flip flops, and wear them all the time during summer. its way too hot for socks and shoes. (people wearing shoes wihout socks is the grossiest thing ever). but i wear only the 100% caoutchouc ones from brazilian flipflop maker havaianas. and i think they go very well with everything, long, short , jeans, pants whatever. as long you have clean feet everythingl is fine.

but more important is function over form. its just more comfortable to have air on your feet than to leave them in some hot sweaty shoes.

I knew I was right. The only people who wear that nasty shit is college students without a clue. Thank you for clearing this up people. Hopefully, one day I may be able to walk the Halls of the University of North Texas without looking a hairy men's apefeet draggin nasty shredded denim. And that shredded denim thing....that's another one. What the hell...cuff your shit Man!!!!!!!!!!!

[damnIam]

CUFF IT...DON'T DRAG IT!!!

[thomas_highstreet]

i rock them maharish x gravis split toe flip flops that retail at like £50 ($70).. they were the cheapest nice pair i could find last summer.. on sale for like £12 or something stupid

[6MT]

i dont know how i could hate on it, i been wearing it since i was born.

[RedFoxxworth]

Flip flops were never cool period. To the beach, to the pool, that's it, case closed.

Actin' bad like a kid at Six Flags...

[Handlethevibe]

I got bape flip flops. Ohh yeahh.

[Corbin Law]

unless your going to the beach, flip flops blow...alot. especially bape flip flops

i cant wear them cause i have worm toes, seriouesly, i can grasp objects with my feel, thats how long my toes are.

chwa?

[DJ_Flame]

Flip flop and open toe shoes for the beach only and nothing else. My toes arent the sexiest in the world so I rather keep them hidden.

Then again I hardly go to the beach these days

[ELEVATE]

No joke tonight at work guy comes in - nice denim,scarf, cashmere lookin sweater

and down low- Chaco sandals and wool socks. Oh yeah couple inches of snow on

the sidewalk!

Flops are great but only summer/hot weather

Keen and Crocs = ugliest lamest kookiest footwear ever!

[Denim R]

you guys are kidding. Thongs are the way to go, (feet not butt).

They are like a national costume down here.

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

I love them. It's warm enough around here that I can wear them year round around here and I do.

honey, you're my religion

Even though you haven't yet expanded

To include a heaven after

Even though I have demanded it

[john11f]

I live in the tropics where its damn hot most of the time. I don't necessarily wear flip-flops all the time but they've been a part of life here. I never went to school with them though or go to a party....

[allacedout]

hey thomas.. those maharishi x gravis ones are so damn comfy.... haha. unfortunuately, they dont have em THAT cheap here. if you see em, for 12GBP again, please let me know. ; )

anyhow, in singapore.. flip flops are essential.. it get SO FUCKING HOT.. you wont even imagine. i wear flip flops all the time, not really by choice, but because its just so hot.

[Sanctimonious Kid]

I grew up at the beach in OC and flip flops with jeans or shorts is OG. Sorry, that's the way it goes. Maybe no good in NYC but it works in L.A. in my book.

Yes, if you live on a tropical island it's OK.

[M4TM]

i grew up in hawaii... so i grew up with flip flops. mind you, it was primarily tee, board shorts and slippers tho.

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Dice.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

[john11f]

Yep. Flip-flops are a necessity in the Philippines. I go to the beach almost every weekend.

[john11f]

^^^It's like summer heat 10 months of the year here.

[M.O.A]

OK, that picture of the hairy foot in the fruity flops just put me completely off my food. I shall never venture into this thread again. TO EACH HIS OWN!

[NESK]

this summer i went with the chinese flat slippers becuase i loathe flip flops but couldnt take wearing socks and sneakers everyday. at $2 a pair they were great. i went through 2 pairs in 3 months but loved every second of them. they are surprisngly versatile. go with almost anything and can take a day out in the city.
