Yeah, I can't wear the rubber type, get blisters between my toes. Also, at the start of summer it takes my feet a bit to harden up and get used to them, but love them once I get them comfy.

Found the ones from Animal to be quite decent, wear them n a daily basis from about march to october unless I have a job or another occasion that won't let me wear flip flops.

Year round footwear for me - though I prefer sandals.

But if you're getting Flip Flops, it's got to be Havaianas!

Unless it's for a quick walk outside to get the mail or just to pick up some food I don't wear them.

To everyone that walks the streets in flip flops, bermuda shorts and a stupid white vest - you're not at the beach, you fuckin' tit.

I'll stick with Gazelles.

Hate them, I wear them too and from the beach and that's it.

Wear my flip flops all the time in summer. Under jeans and shorts mostly.

I wear these as much as I can during the summer:

Notice the funny thing underneath it? It's a bottle cap opener!!

I live in Australia, so can't really avoid thongs in the summer. Still wear them all the time like, but don't like that you can't fucking run in them and they seem to cut my feet to shreds. Guess it would be worse to sweat into some decent trabs in the heat though and not a fucking hope of wearing crocs! Bare feet all the way.

I have to wear them in summer

I despise them.

ozzy-red · « **Reply #51 on:** August 7, 2011, 12:57:22 pm »

Flip-flops?
They're fucking thongs.
And yes, I wear them often, but only really when the weathers warm.

Flip flops / crocks .... style bypass I'm afraid.

Don't care how hot it gets, it's unecessary. Have some self respect.

Although as a social barometer they are quite handy when other people wear them.

Eh? Flip flops have been around much longer than Crocs, much longer.

Nothing at all to do with which was invented first, just that crocks seem to be quite popular now as some sort of alternative to flip flops (it's the ventilation aspect I assume).

Besides, will anybody admit that they actually like or think crocks are cool? Unless they're mentaly ill.

GorstStreetBoy · « **Reply #55 on:** August 7, 2011, 07:47:35 pm »

I think they're fine for women to wear as long as they dont have horrible feet. Seeing them on men is one of my pet hates: Who wants to see a mans feet? Ive always thought it shows a bit of a lack of consideration for others but Im probably the only person that thinks that. Also the stupid noise is horrific.

Crocs are fine if you're a kid. Wear them as an adult and you're gonna look a div. Especially if you're a bloke.

Hate the fuckers.

I'm a crocs man but purely in the house otherwise my sexuality may be questioned.

Ferg · « **Reply #58 on:** August 7, 2011, 09:17:05 pm »

Every time I see a fella wearing a pair of Crocs, I feel like smashing the twat in the face.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I love flip flops. With a pair of white trousers... I reckon things are looking on the up as soon as you step outside.

I went on a family holiday when I was 9 or 10 and while walking to the beach I found a size 10/11 pair of flip flops in the verge and I wore them for the whole time I was there. They were enormous.

I also found a stolen pair of Doc Martens sandals when in my 30's that I wore for a while, and I now get given a vast array of Hotel freebie slippers to wear. But, I'm often found in a pair of green plastic Ikea gardening sandals, that yes, I wear to the pub.

Filler. · « **Reply #61 on:** August 8, 2011, 12:29:59 am »

Have to say tho that modern flip flops - I was in a sports shop today - all look fucking hideous. I'm half out on the hunt for a pair - basically something to take me away from the bright green plastic Ikea things - to take me up a notch, but I doubt they'll get relegated.

My kid has a pair of those and he loves them..

His excuse is that he's 8 - over to you jimmy !!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #63 on:** August 8, 2011, 01:09:56 pm »

Flip Flops are fine in the summer on holiday or just loafing around. I'm not gonna stick sockks and trainers on and get sweaty feet unless I can help it! No excuse for grown men in Crocs though although my little boy has a pair and they're useful for when he's messing about on the beach.

androulla · « **Reply #64 on:** August 8, 2011, 01:22:27 pm »

Depends on how they look and how comfy they are.
I usually only wear them on holiday for the beach.

Rusty · « **Reply #65 on:** August 8, 2011, 03:10:36 pm »

Only ever on the beach.

Hmmm... so you tramp around all day and cover your bottle opener in whatever crap there is on the ground, then use that to open the bottle where it touches the rim that you drink out of?

Can't see any hygiene issues with that design...

sukylfc · « **Reply #67 on:** August 8, 2011, 03:47:25 pm »

Cant stand them, never worn and never will.

Naughtykid · « **Reply #68 on:** August 8, 2011, 03:54:22 pm »

Can't stand them.

When I go on holiday, I have to run over the sand like a spastic because my feet are on fire.

Crimson_Tank · « **Reply #69 on:** August 8, 2011, 03:59:50 pm »

I wear the kind that don't go between the toes.

Most people's feet are hideous, put 'em away you rotten bunch.

kelevra · « **Reply #71 on:** August 8, 2011, 04:06:02 pm »

They are a must in the summer. Would never wear the flip flop - jeans combo though

Obviously I wouldn't use it if there was shit underneath but I don't have a problem with opening a bottle with them. After all the opener is designed to pop the cap off the bottle - not caress the rim when it opens the bottle.
