I LOVE FlipFlops! I've worn them most of my life, in fact, I don't like the kind without the toe thingie

I have a flipflop necklace, decal for my car, pin, bracelet, just about anything with a flipflop, I love it!

I came in on this late, but I just wanted to get my 2 cents in...
As soon as the calendar says April, I start wearing flip flops (and other sorts of sandals) even if it snows a few more times.

So, yes...I wear flip flops
And I don't really remember any discomfort...

It is very cool..... !!! but I cant get the image of a dirty shoe on the bottle where I put my mouth outa my head!
There is no way in hell I'd use the bottom of my foot to open a beer bottle...with all the sh!t (literally and figuratively) that's out on the ground I have to say that this is the stupidest thing ever invented.

It seems to me if you're doing it right, the mouth of the bottle would not touch anything on the bottom of the shoe, including the bottle opener. But I'm not the most sanitary person in the world.

So if someone had stepped in a big steaming pile of dog poop then opened a beer and handed it to you, you'd be fine with that?

Excuse me while I go hurl.

Not to mention the fact that the more people drink, the less precise and dextrous they are...

It might be a good thing not to pi$$ anyone here off. You'll meet them at a concert and they'll offer you a beer! They could very well be wearing those flip-flops!

But, REEF has just in the last month come out with a flip flop that has a beer bottle opener built into the bottom of the flip flop. It is way too cool, reinforced, and when you walk it is completely not noticeable. No discomfort, not clicking like you were wearing tap flops. I have the behind the back, kick up the heel manuever down. While sittin in the Tiki Bar, the wife will just step over to my foot stool, and crank one open on the sole of my foot. God I love kewl toys.

http://www.reef.com/ Go to Guys Footwear Sandals they are the Fanning style pictured on pg1 Click on the pick and it shows the bottom of the sandals, I've got the brown ones.

That kicks ass.

I don't want the top of my beer bottle anywhere near the bottom of my sandal... I'll pass

Trust me. I spent many years in the beer business. Your sandal would be a clean place compared to where that bottle has been......

Another reason I hate flip flops - on my way back to Penn Station last night I was standing on the corner waiting for the light to turn green. There was a woman in business clothes standing next to me. I looked down. She was wearing flip flops. It looked like she hadn't washed her feet in a month.

Larry I have to stand up for this woman. When I worked for a major financial instiitution in downtown Dallas I ALWAYS carried my "dress" shoes and sometimes panty hose cause I'd wear flip flops or other comfortable shoes for my commute. Walking in a downtown area is hell it heels. Her feet were obviously dirty from walking on the dirty New York streets. Feet can easily be washed off in the lavatory at work.

I don't have a problem with people weraing comfortable shoes, I wear sneakers to work every day and keep my dress shoes in the bottom drawer of my desk. And I see women wearing flip flops all the time in NYC. I've never seen ayone whose feet looked like this woman's did last night.

I agree. I hate flipflops...the annoying noise most of them make irritate the hell out of me. Chicks can get away with it.

No guy should ever wear sandals or flip flops.....fugly feet and it's just ugly in general, unless you live on the beach or an island, then it's excusable.
