Wear what YOU like and are comfortable in. I'm not really a fan of flip flops myself for anywhere other than the beach or pool. I'm not really a fan of looking at other people's feet either but to each their own.

I agree. I don't find flip flops at all comfortable to walk in, other than a very short distance. For me, they're for the beach only. I also think they look terrible with long pants. I don't see any great benefit to them that should result in a man being pressured to wear them.

Same. I can't stand them in general, but around the beach or pool they're sort of a necessary evil. Actually, around the pool I'd prefer canvas boat shoes, but at the beach it's hard to beat the ease of cleaning sand off a pair of flip-flops.

I try not to wear flip flops outside of the immediate pool area, though I tend to wear Swims by the pool, and even when on the beach as they are more practical. I will also wear Keen Newports because the toes are protected, since I have tripped over things and hurt my toe badly in flip flops, previously. I also have Speedo water shoes as well as waterproof Adidas and Merrell shoes that I tend to wear when needed in/near water.

She's took a break from mentioning it because its winter right now. But she'll be back to it when it gets springtime.

Lol, this post makes me laugh because my husband never wore flip flops his entire life until about 3 years ago and we been together for 7 years. He got tired of having to strap on his Chakos, which admittedly I hate, or put on socks and tennis shoes (we are in TX and it gets HOT) so when I bought some casual flip flops for him, he started using them to run quick errands and then out, which shocked me. Now he wears them a lot. He doesn't have the prettiest feet in the world, but I guess he got over that, lol.

Just wear whatever is comfortable to you.
