I hate when people have flip flops on in NYC... its just gross, I did it once and my feet were scary by the end of the day. Nobody wants to see hippies toes on the subway

sandals should never been worn anywhere outisde of the beach period. no one wants to look at your mangled feet
- That's ridiculous. I live in the middle of the U.S., and I can't tell you how many people I see wearing sandals.gramme
- that doesn't make it right. no one wants to see you in your jesus slippers.MarleyMarl
- you get your fashion approval from everyone in the bible belt? makes sense now.lambsy

@ MarleyMarl
By that logic you might as well say people should wear gloves on their mangled hands. If people wash their feet when they shower, then I think it shouldn't matter.

- Disagree. I think it's a matter of what you're used to.gramme

It seems that some of the people here who are grossed out by sandals/flip-flops are British or from some other part of Northern Europe. That makes sense, because it's not very warm there most of the year, so one's much less likely to find any sort of open-toed footwear, at least on a guy. Of course it would seem weird in that context.
Now what seems funny to me is the Americans here who think sandals are disgusting. I've lived and travelled up and down the East Coast from Rhode Island to Florida, and currently live in St. Louis (that's not part of the Bible belt, lambsy). Nearly everyone I know wears sandals or flip-flops of some sort in the summer. In fact, the only people I know who always wear shoes are hipsters, the sort of people who wear a scarf when it's 75 degrees out. It's absurd to say that the only people who wear flip-flops or sandals are hippies, good ol' boys or trailer trash.
And then there's the fact that I simply don't give a shit whether people are grossed out by my toes or not. I like being comfortable.
Now, Birkenstocks and socks: that's ridiculous. Not gross, just lame.

just cause you can wear it, don't mean you should wear it.

There is no need to ever see another man's feet in modern society.

I am a proud flip-flop wearer. And I just don't give a fuck.
The guys that buy Kenneth Cole to snuggle in with upper mgmt. can kiss my smelly toes. I want to be comfortable and sorry, but it was 100 degrees yesterday and our office is shorts and flip flops friendly. Count me in.- im with ya. it freakin hot out. ive got no problem with people wearing them.
