Hateful things. Anyone over the age of about 8 wearing them, should be openly ridiculed in the street.
I've a pair by the back door and a pair in the van. Can't get my head around the ones with suede or fur on them, in my view they are just footwear for in the garden, camping fields and the beach...
The below is taken from https://flipflops.co.uk and I fully admit that I am no expert on these matters, but I think that's possibly where the problem may lie!! Thongs!
