guys wearing sandals (WITHOUT SOCKS!) yay, or nay?

[minxnim]

i dunno. part of me wants to be like, NO. but then again, feet are funny and guys wearing flip flops is pretty cute sometimes.

I hate wearing anything on my feet, and sandals/flipflops are the closest thing to being shoeless in places where it is illegal or glassy, so...hopefully it's ok.

only OK if you don't have Bugle's Corn Chips for toenails.

Since you're only asking guys, you'll basically get a vote of which are more comfortable - shoes or sandals.
having said that, shoes.

okay you are the funniest person in the world ever. this has me in hysterics.

p.s. xfer, like a said, flip flops are pretty cute on guys as long as they don't have snaggle-foot too badly.

my friend j wears flips all the time and guys always say it's wussy. that is why i ask.

nothing beats guys wearing thick wool socks and birkenstocks.

Everyone I know pretty much wears sandals. I don't though. I like shoes on my feet. I feel naked with sandals on. Plus it hurts more if someone steps on your foot. And if someone accidentally spits on your foot, that's gross. But white socks and sandals, now that's something.

If socks with sandals looked even remotely OK, I would be ALL OVER it. But sadly, it looks...AWFUL.

I suppose that means I'm shallow and image-conscious. So be it.

Socks or no socks, I hate sandals. Flip-flops (my West-Virginian grandfather calls them "zories" and says that's standard terminology where he's from) are the lowest form of sandal around.

I personally like really tight shoes. It makes me feel sporty.

even though I think the trend of wearing sandals is horrible, it's still WAY better than the aforementioned brikenstock-with-knee-socks look.

I say flip flops but not sandals. and not those stupid adidas flip flops either. thong-toe ONLY.

 

[minxnim]

i generally dont wear shoes at all whenever i have the chance. i think girls get way more leeway with this, plus we can get mad pedicures and not be mocked. i wear flip flops allll the time during the summer as well as sandals with high heels etc. the SECOND i walk into my house i take my shoes off and refuse to wear them pretty much anywhere i can get away with being barefoot.

xfer: it's not shallow. socks with sandals IS really comfy but it just conveys way too much of a negative stigma that we cannot ignore.

 

[minxnim]

i have filas like those adidas ones! with the nubby foot massagy things! HAH

 

[FrostGiant]

That's as bad as trying to be all metal and shit while wearing a wrist watch.

...and he is trying to show you his junk

incidentally, a funny side note: my first french teacher was SO strict he used to read 'robert's rules of order' to the class. i drove him up the wall! he used to scream at me day and night. he even once started chasing me down the hall because i called him 'cliffy' instead of 'mr. perrault'.

two years later he retired and told me in a grocery store that i was the most brilliant person he knew! i think he was mentally deteriorating...
