I mean if you dont like flip flops wear shoes but its really not appropriate to try to tell other people what they do with their feet. If you dont like what you see look the other way if you dont like what you hear then just ignore it. I see and hear lots of things I dont like but I dont pressure people to stop what theyre doing so why not just leave people alone and get a life. I wear flip flops everywhere and I love em and thats not going to change just because u dont like feet or that smacking sound flips make. have a nice day.

With that stinky armpit hair showing? Not that I give a sh*t, but since you're trumpeting your irrational foot phobia along with your judgmental attitude, I can say that I think men who wear shirts like you're wearing are "just nasty." Not that I *really* think that, because I am still capable of critical thinking and understand that you are either more comfortable that way or just like showing off your hairy underarms. Whatever. When it comes to feet, though, you sound like you might have deeper issues. That's your problem, but don't try to force your narrow-minded ignorance and prejudice on others who are more intelligent than you when it comes to giving their bare feet air, light and exercise.

You might be suprised. Likewise, when you see a person in flipflops and think about the dirt on their feet, as yourself the question: :When was the last time I washed my shoes. On a one to one, a petri dish and a sample from the flip wearer or barefooter would contain less bacteria than your shoes. Think about it -- how often do you wash your shoes. As a barefoot, I wash my feet several times daily/ Next time you go to a podiatrist, ask him about the shape of your feet and how shoes have altered them. You might be suprised.

I only wear them when ignorant store and restaurant employees think it is unacceptable to enter their businesses barefoot. There are no laws or "health codes" requiring shoes. You think feet are ugly? How about those hairy arm pits? Whew! You really have no room to talk. Flip flops are horrible shoes.

I hate flip-flops too -I go barefoot everywhere, all the time. Me and the majority of people on the planet. If feet are foul, its probably because they've been cooped up in fungus inducing shoes all their lives. Shoes are evil . . . Hey, your face is ugly, but I don’t complain about it.

Jandals are the stripped down essence of footwear - essentially a thin rubber sole with two simple straps running in a Y from the sides of the foot to between the big toe and next toe. The design originated in New Zealand, inspired by the traditional woven soled 'Japanese Sandals' (hence ‘jandals’). Jandals (also known to the rest of the world as flip-flops or thongs) are a Kiwi icon. They are worn to the beach, to work, around town, everywhere!

Jandels are awesome everyone should own a pair so easy to slide on and off for the summer what else could you want, sandals are ugly and bulky and shoes are too hot.

Thank goodness I live in New York, and I only have to deal with flip-flops for six months out of the year. Like Darcey I also have a foot phobia, and it is my belief that no one has nice feet and therefore all feet must be covered at all times. Plus, I refuse to believe that those things are comfortable, what with that stick that threatens to sever one's big toe from the rest of one's foot... Places where flip-flops are acceptable footwear:

- The beach/pool/lake/any large body of water
- The dorm/gym shower
- Your boat
- Your home

Places where flip-flops are not acceptable footwear:

- Work
- The bar
- The club
- Any restaurant (I don’t care if it’s Mickey D’s or a four star gourmet restaurant, it’s wrong either way)
- The mall
- Any other public place not previously mentioned

Flip flops are horrible. They have become part of a metrosexual uniform that all the clones are wearing these days. Don't these people realize they have ugly feet? Shouldn't exposing ugly feet in public be as serious a crime as robbery or murder? The sound of flip flops makes me cringe. I have eliminated men as dating possibilities because of their ugly feet. There otta be a law, I say. Whew. Thanks for the rant, Tony. I thought I was the only one. Darcey. (what is the name for a foot phobia?) Hear, hear! Flip flops are horrible.
