No, I never do. Not that I have anything against men wearing them, I just don't like people looking at my feet. My feet aren't ugly or anything, I just find it weird. Haha, maybe I'm just strange, but it's just one of those things. Plus, even when I've worn them at the beach or so, I don't find them very comfortable either.

Only women with good looking,clean and manicured feet should be wearing flip flops. As a man, I personally prefer "boat shoes" like Sperry Topsiders which are better than tennis shoes in the summer as you don't want to sweat too much. As a side note, does anybody still wear shoes like Don Johnson used to wear as Sonny Crockett on Miami Vice? I think those were canvas shoes of some type. LOL

Are we talking about the "toe thong" version that make the "flip...flop...flip...flop...flap...flip...flop... flap...flip...flop...flip...flop...flap...flip... flop...flip...flap" when you walk in them? No, don't dig them. I do wear velcro sandals freakin' everywhere though, and I would to the office if it were socially acceptable.

Buy a pair of Scotts, they costs a little more, but they're great and have arch support.

Are you referring to the ubiquitous basket-weave Italian man slippers? I'm sure you hang out at the Byron Nelson, you'll see enough for a lifetime.

I dont wear them.
I dont want to see people wearing them. Especially when their nails are yellow and their feet are full of fungus and rashes. DISGUSTING.

Actually, I don't really care what you would have to say as I wear my flops because they are awesome to wear if the temp is warm enough, end of story.
Finally, a guy who knows who he is and is comfortable with that person. A Texas trend setter.

If people have ugly faces do you expect them to cover their face too?
