Is there still a stigma regarding guys wearing flip flops and sandals? (long, girl)

When I come home from work I take off my shoes at the door before I enter. I work in a hospital and you never know what you may have stepped on. LOL The work shoes end up in the garage. Once I am in, no shoes at all. If I go out in the yard, no shoes or flip flops most of the time. As soon as I change after work I will keep the feet naked unless I am going out somewhere. Most of the time I toss on my flip flops including when I am driving. I hate to drive with shoes and the flip flops can easily come off in the car.

In the summer, I wear sandals or flip flops to work. At home, I am barefoot in the house. I will also walk barefoot in the yard, my driveway, and the street in front of my house. I always wear tennis shoes for my walks. But they come off as soon as I walk in the door.

For the first summer in years, I am not polishing my toes. I just don't have the time to put into them this summer (or rather, I don't want to make the time ). If someone is offended my by unpolished toes, they don't have to look at them!

I am all about dressing for MY comfort, and I prefer the comfort of flip flops and sandals in the summer.

If there is, nobody told me about it. I wear them almost every day here in the warmer weather. Here, you see people wearing them everywhere.

Everyone in Hawaii wears them and I assure you that a big Hawaiian guy in flip flops does not look gay. Don't worry about it. Wear what you like.

I never felt comfortable wearing any kind of open toe footwear.

Flip flops & Sandals are very important on public beaches, for protection from broken glass, rusty nails, rocks, dog poo, hypodermic syringes, etc

OT but I noticed some young males in downtown Seattle are wearing skirts! I know it is none of my business what someone is wearing but really, I am personally a little uncomfortable seeing this trend (if it is one). Also, a burly, hairy guy in women's high heels, ankle socks, a regular business shirt and briefcase - after these spectacles, seeing a guy in sandals and flip flops would be a relief.

When I'm not working or working out, I wear flip flops from late April until late September. Obviously there are some days when it might be too cold or wet for that, but you get the idea.

Not a fan of feet and don't like flip flops on men or women. Sorry. Sure, some women have nice looking feet but others...not so much. And men almost always have ugly feet.

That is exactly what I was going to write but he beat me to it. I vote for gay looking. I wouldnt be seen with them on in public, like in a store.

Good thing no one needs your permission to wear flip flops!
