I LOVE my Reef flip-flops! Maybe my feet aren't model-perfect, but I trim my toenails religiously. I use a foot scrub, and use a pumice stone twice a week.

I'll be sad when summer is over.

I dont wear them. I only dont mind it. Everyone's feet are totally ugly unless you are under 10 or around 5 ft and never wore heels.

Tall girls have the legs
Short girls have the cute little feet

Let them have thier season.

YIKES!!! If one were to look at today's fashion really, the flip-flops are a godsend compared to what most are wearing today! You should thank your lucky stars that the flip-flops took the attention away from the rest of the outfit! How about the overweight people who wear the stretch shirts with a little (or a lot) of belly hanging below it! How about the thong (different sort of course) that is slightly visible from within the bulging butt cheeks of a woman who obviously has no full length mirror available? The tiny jackets with no purpose at all except to make one wonder if mom hasn't done any laundry and has resorted to finding her daily wardrobe in her childs closet? Men and boys who walk around with one finger through a belt loop attempting to keep his britches up while graciously sharing with the public what kind of boxers he is wearing! I personally always wear flip-flops or sandals in the summer as it helps to keep me "cool". I guess I haven't thought about annoying my fellow citizens as most around me are wearing them too.

I was never a flip flopper until moving to FL. They're just the perfect shoe to wear down here when not at work. I have dressy and casual styles. Nothing I can do about the smacking sound. I noticed some people's flip flops don't make any sound, but they tend to be slow walkers. I zip around when I walk so SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK...

Love wearing flip-flops! Even love checking out others flip-flops, there are some cute styles out now. Must be a FL thing. I have to agree with my Tampa area neighbor that posted above - "SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK..."

I'm SMACK, SMACK, SMACKing along too.
I find that I worry about things like world hunger, war and disease - not what people do or do not wear.

I vote flip flops are just annoying...especially that annoying sound they make plus people who drag their feet also so the sound is doubly annoying.

From one of the previously quoted "flip flop capitals of the world". LOL! I live in Phoenix. I wear flip flops about every day. Not the little plastic beachy flat things. Nice leather ones with heels and wedges. I get a weekly pedicure.

IMHO Crocs are what should be banished to far ends of the universe for most horrific fashion statement for anyone over the age of 4 not wearing a Winnie the Pooh tshirt.

LOL.

What is the difference anyway between flip flops and any type of women's sandal that is open toed? They all make the noise when you walk whether they are flip flops or sandals. And what about open toed high heel shoes? Are those out too if your feet are not perfect enough for society?

I don't believe everyone's feet are ugly unless their under 10 or 5 ft. tall Although I will agree everyone under 10 does have cute feet.
