Do you wear flip flops?!?!

Ok guys... I don't... it hurts between my toes so I normally wear my adidas sandles
Now the sandles over here are way too cute and cheap to pass on... I bought a pair and forced myself to wear them to work yesterday and today.. They actually don't feel too bad today..
My question to those that wear them.. do they normally hurt you the first few days you wear them?!? will the discomfort pass?

If they are leather, it will eventually pass. The leather has to break in.

I don't like anything between my toes except for my foot fungus!

Although I'll pass on the fungus, I'm with Shane on this one.

I don't wear them. Most peoples' feet should never see the light of day.

I wear them and the only ones I've ever had discomfort with are the cheap $2 ones with plastic/rubber straps

Never could keep flip-flops on my feet (maybe somebody could get a song outta that) so I opt for Reef sandals.

All Day Everyday... I just recently switched this year from the good ole reliable Birks to the flo jo's (old school surf term)
But since I've been wearing Birks pretty much all day everyday for the past 8 yrs... the transition to the flops was easy... now I where those all day everyday... so what was the question, oh yeah... No... never had a problem and I'm as flat footed as you can get
