I use to hate wearing flip flops but about 2 years ago i started to wear them and now I wear them all the time. About 3 weeks ago when it started getting warm I decided its time to wear the flip flops again. I wear them with pants or shorts...

Why can't guys wear them?

I'm assuming he gets a chubby every time he sees uncovered feet, male or female. It makes him question his sexuality.

Wow, is this thread for real? Who the hell are you people? I swear half of you think wearing big yellow construction boots full time year round is fashionable, and the other half are the insecure unsocialized office types who need to pull their head out of their ass.

I wear flip-flops with jeans, shorts (khaki/plaid ONLY), and pants, and look damn good in them. Half my college campus does as well; to those of you who look at a person wearing flip-flops and actually have a thought process that bothers you, then you seriously need to consider getting your neurotic ass some help caring about silly shit so much.

You suggesting men should shave their feet?...or just the toe nails

Black, not yellow, and function rather than fashion.

Nothing wrong with that. :evil:

Just keep the toe nails and callouses under control

Nice deduction, Mr. Holmes. I'll be sure to let my wife know :laugh:

I wear them from my house, to my car, into work before I change into my sneakers for work. Same for the way home. My work sneakers do not get near my house.

I completely agree. ^

I don't give a shit what anyone wears and no one should give a shit about my Crocs, either. There are more important things to get worked up over, than worrying about what guys choose to wear on their feet. :roll:

I think it fits with the whole Abercrombie/Hollister look, especially when worn with jeans that are too long so they drag on the ground. I'm not a fan of that look myself.

Orlando is freaking hot year round. When I'm not at work I generally wear them. If people don't like it, well, tough shit.

I don't see anything wrong with that, or crocs.

What I do have a problem with is people who wear such foot wear, go in a public building, hurt their feet, then sue everyone they can about it. ex: that kid that got her foot decapitated in an escalator due to wearing crocs - you don't wear foam shoes when standing on a giant mechanical slicing device with your toes shoved in the most dangerous part.

I don't see the problem with this. I've seen it all my life but just recently started seeing it done here in America back in...2002?

I don't think people who wear flip flops in public are trying to make a fashion statement. It's more of a "fuck you guys, I'm a player for real, I don't need to put shoes on for this trip."

Yes, it is gross. I have a shoes off policy in my home. People who wear flip flops got some dirty feet.
