Who cares?

Anyway, anyone who thinks they are going to persuade anyone not to wear flip-flops in California is fighting a losing battle.

My only complaint is gross feet. This applies to women too. What do some people do to their feet to get them that gross?

They seem comfortable but then I think about the image that I would projecting and would feel kinda awkward wearing them.

What do you ladies think? Let's assume that the guy keeps his feet clean and looking halfway presentable. Do you like to see him wearing flip flops with shorts or not?
Who cares? If a guy wants to be casual and comfy, let him be! So long as he's not wearing flip flops with a business suit, or to work, or out on a dinner date, let the man be, people!!!

I grew up in California, where the standard casual uniform for men seems to be a T-shirt, cargo shorts and flip-flops. My husband lives in that outside of work. I don't mind the look in casual places a bit, as long as the guy takes care of his feet. I do think wider-strapped leather kind look better than the $5 rubber Old Navy flip-flops.

For those men who don't like the look or, um, flip-floppiness of flip-flops, or who want something a little less casual, may I suggest fisherman's sandals?

Or some teva-style hiking sandals.

Really? A thread about people against guys wearing flip-flips? Really, when we have people like this?

PAFFers annoy me!

Besides, I got nice toes and clean feet.

You might whine if I start wearing a Speedo!


PS. Ralphie May can kiss my hairy .ss!

It depends on the guy some look good in them and some don't.

I had an ex who wore them and I thought he looked stupid in them. But then again it didn't take much to do that. My son wears them but I think he look pretty good in a pair.

I have friends I grew up with who always wore them and they looked pretty good in them as well.

Like I said it depends. Not everyone looks great in a pair of jeans or swimming suit depends on the person and the style.
