Am I the ONLY one?
Mar. 8th, 2010 02:00 pmI hate flip flops. LOATHE THEM. By flip flops, I mean these or these.
Seriously...if you want something that lets your feet breathe or whatever, I don't see why one can't just take one more step up to sandals, which are practical AND pretty. By sandals, I mean that NO part of them consists of plastic or FOAM of any kind. They might look like flip flops in design, but are made with superior materials and some sort of ornamentation.
I guess I do tolerate flip flops better if they actually fit the wearer's foot, and the wearer has pedicured feet. Too often, though, I see this or this or this. People's feet get dirty and NASTY from wearing them.
For the most part, I think they are fine for the beach, or slipping on to wear to the mailbox so you don't burn the crap out of your feet on the hot cement, but they are not appropriate for church, nice restaurants or anywhere it would not be also be acceptable to go barefoot.
That is my rant for the day. Please feel free to argue with me or sing the praises of flip flops...I don't think you can change my mind, but you're welcome to your opinion.
