before you give up on your shorts. How bout your flip-flops?
I wear flip-flops much longer then I probably should. I go from flip-flops to uggs.

because we get warm days in winter here, i usually have a few pairs of shorts ready and available at all times.
flip flops/sandals almost year round!

From bad to worse.

Those ugg boots have got to be the f'n ugliest things gullible women have let the fashion industry get them to wear in a long time.

I always wear shorts. I am "that guy." In college I wore pants few times.
By the way, agreed on Ugg boots being a sin to people's eyes and fashion sense everywhere.

Okies.....so what is the COLDEST with wind chill or without you have been exposed to, but specify which ....
I have been out in shorts and tennis shoes at around actual temp -14 F or so.
Also I have been outside in temps well in excess of -75 below zero...it was really incalcuable, so we were later told...NO...I was not wearing shorts, but a heck of a lot more at the time.

I've been out when it was -25, not counting the wind chill, fixing a car. It sucked.

I"ve frequently heard birks referred to as butch ------- footwear. The hair armpit/hairy legged women also. Sorry if that offends anybody.

Ohhhh. Now it makes sense.

The same description also applies to a lot of people in Boulder, CO...thus the hippy inference.
All is right in the world once again.
I wear Birks (love 'em)...but I shave my legs and armpits, et. al.
