Agreed. Tevas & Reefs don't hurt your feet because they are quality flip flops. Cost about $20 a pair.

Working from home, I've been wearing my Columbia sandals for about 3 months now!

I wear them all the time, but not the cheap ones. I can't wear the ones with rubber/plastic between the toes and I need the arch support, so mainly for me it's Reef, Teva or J Crew. As long as the strap is material or leather I'm good, but otherwise I get the ouchie toes too.

Of course Pink flip flops are the best...

Wow, you are my hero, I want to be just like you when I grow up.

I wear them everyday weather permitting (they are cold in the snow) and only have about a dozen pair.

I bought a very NICE pair from WAL MART (greatest store on the planet) for $4.00, and a great pair of sunglasses for $3.00!

TAKE THAT, YUCKIES!!!!

I wear my Jesus shoes as much as possible,....I don't wear the cheap flip flops/shower shoes... those things are dangerous....slips...falls...blowouts...and whatnot....

I have yet to figure out why they have not been recalled or the company(ies) that make them, been sued back to before the pre-cambian era...

I get all my sunglasses at the Dollar Store (I refuse to pay more than $3 for a pair of sunglasses that I will inevitably lose or break within 2 weeks). I bought a pair of Adidas-ish sandals there for $3, and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

my FAVORITE topic
Yes, it's my dog. HER name is DESDEMONA.

She'll be 4 in about a week. I also have another dog (Merlin-age 13 1/2), a Shepherd/Husky mix.
Needless to say, they BOTH give me LOTS of joy.

Thanks for asking.

This is the 5th summer for my Nike sandals and they get more comfortable every year! No need to get another pair till these finally wear out.

<---- Sandals shown are not the actual sandals worn by Monkey Boy

HEY, REDNEKK!
Isn't it amazing that the same people who b|tch about having to pay a $1.50 ATM fee are the same jokers who think nothing of paying $40.00 for a pair of sunglasses, $30.00 for a pair of flip-flops, or $4.00 for ONE bottle of water.

For the longest time, I never wore flip flops, now I'm addicted. Took about a week of wearing them, because the skin in between the toes wasn't used to the slight rubbing. I just kept putting lotion on and now the only ones I can't wear are the cheap rubber/plastic ones.

It's as close to barefoot as I can get at work

Welcome to the flip flop club, girl!

I concur. Never owned a pair and probably never will.

I'll drive 20 miles to avoid a $1.00 ATM fee (yeah, yeah, I know). And I don't pay $4 for a bottle of fine wine, let alone water. Sheesh...

When you order wine do you ever follow the order with the phrase?

"And none of that old stuff either. I want something fresh."
