I hate them and didn't even wear them when everybody else did when I was growing up in Florida. I'd rather go bare foot or wear boots. Have to have socks on when wearing any type of shoe also

No, but I wish I could, because they're so pretty.

I did have a pair of leather flip-floppish sandals that I could wear successfully (i.e. walk and drive wearing them), but they have a loop around the toe to secure them better to the feet. But that pair broke this summer :cry:.

The plastic flip-flops... forget about it.

I don't wear flip-flops because my feet are so narrow I would accidently kick them off with each step anyway. My narrow feet also made me miss out on that recent fad. You know, those ugly garden clogs with the holes in them.

Oh, and whoever made high heels a must-have for women should spend the rest of eternity running a marathon.......in five inch stillettos. :evil:

I hate having anything on my feet. I do not like the sound of peoples flip-flops and I do not like seeing peoples feet either.

Ha! I thought it was just me! :D When I get sandals, they're slip-ons. Without the "toe thing." (I wonder if that piece of plastic actually has a proper name?)

I love wearing flip-flops. I hate wearing socks and I hate having to tie my shoes. With flip-flops, I can save time since I don't have to do either of those things.

I don't mind the strap thingy between the toes. I wish I had a pair of those right now, the pair I have now, stay on, only if I'm walking fast....or running in them. Yes. I have run in them. And I didn't trip. the beauty of being a track/xc person, you can run in jeans and look good.

Ditto. Socks are the worst. There's no need for them... :roll:

I recognize that there's a need for them, but they're not my favorite thing in the world.

Really, disliking socks is not much stranger than disliking flip-flops.

I have a pair that have a pice of durable cloth between the toes, so they are comfortable. I normally only wear them to gymnastics practice, or at the beach, because I know my shoes will come off fast. Otherwise I prefer to wear sneakers, which are very comfortable.

I used to be that way about the thingy between the toes. Then I got meds that gave me hugely swollen feet, twice the original size. The *only* thing that would fit were flipflops, so I staggered around in agony wearing flipflops for a couple of months. And my feet got used to it, and deflated. And I love flipflops. :D

I can wear them but they are kinda really annoying especially with the thing between the toes and how my feet sweat when it's hot and they stick to them... ew.

I love wearing flip-flops. I wear them anytime I wear shorts, which is about half of the year. I would wear shoes more if I didn't have to wear socks.
