Flip flops and sandals

Just wondered who is and who isn't a dedicated follower of flip flops (or sandals)

In my 41 years of existance i've never owned a pair, always worn smelly old hot trainers in the summer (and winter come to think of it). I've been looking at some Birkenstock (sp?) sandals and some flip flops online and thinking that they would be just the ticket but there is something in the back of my mind harping back to days of old when I used to take the mick out of my dad's 'Jesus Creepers'.

Surely I'm just being soft? surely I should just get a pair shouldn't I? You don't think I'd look a bit... well... (and I think ive got the correct pc phrase for it) a bit of a wooly-woofter in them? I promise I won't wear socks with them

 

as long as you dont wear socks it's ok - well i think it is, i can't wait for it to be warm enough, we have a rule at work shorts from easter to halloween, i decided to start early and went in shorts from yesterday wish i could wear flips at work but it would be a tad dangerous.

 

I live in my birkies from Spring to Autumn. Love, love, LOVE them.

But then, I'm a girl, if that makes any difference to your sartorial choices

 

I really, really, really hate flip fops. It's a bit irrational but true ???

 

I hav flip flops its a must hav down on the beach and in the summer cant wait to wear mine

 

Beach - OK
Anywhere else - not OK

 

Been in flip flops for nearly a month now.. And shorts.

 

A bit of a coincidence. I got this email today from confused.com

Made me chuckle!

 

I am 45 and have been wearing flip flops 365 days a yr for over 5yrs now.

even while working



me at the Moon Doo camp for Brighton breeze weekend



Your dad's 'Jesus Creepers' i bet were brown and leather my dad had some and I will never ever wear any like that.

My favorite brand is Teva but getting in the depths of winter is a mail order job from the States (ebay to the rescue)

Wear flip flops and set your feet free.







PS

the wearing of flip flops whilst driving is illegal and invalidates your insurance.

Edit

No its not illegal to do it, but it IS dangerous to do it. The loose material could get caught and cause you to have a wreck. Perhaps it SHOULD be illegal. At least, slip your feet out of them while you are driving.

 

I spend most of the year in sandals/flip flops & shorts. ^-^

I've taken to these lately, even better than my reef sandals & excellent for when we go kayaking.

 

birkies and flip flops ARE summer.
and i agree, Teva are superb

 

crocs are the future i ve even got winter crocs that are lined fact

 

if i had my way i would wear these every day of the summer and then wellies every day of the winter

 

brought some new quicksilver flip flops today for the summer and some ordinary shorts

 

... edging even closer now to my first pair, thanks for the inspiration payday Friday
