The "never" votes make me laugh.

I mean, I'm sort of a flip-flop hater, but "not even at the beach or around the house" is really taking to to another level!

Wear whatever you like.

The only place I'd say they're inappropriate is in most larger office environments unless that office is particularly laid back.

I dunno why so many men catch hell for wearing flip flops and/or sandals. I mean, who cares?

As long as they don't have disgusting feet, what's the big deal?

How can shoes look "gay?"

I know gay men who don't really wear flip flops, and straight dudes who wear them all the time.

Besides, most of the gay men I know are snappy dressers, so I guess that's a compliment?

There is no way flip flops look good on a man anywhere but the beach or around the house. Otherwise he looks like a post-collegiate, unsophisticated, uncaring slob--the type of guy who wears baseball hats backwards at restaurants and goes around with his pants so low you can see most of his drawers.

People, please dress appropriately. It's the mark of being a grown-up!

EDIT: And I take "at the beach" sort of loosely to mean at any warm-weather resort locale. You'd look pretty stupid wearing wingtips walking down the main street of Key West.
