gaijin gig Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Well, we all knew they were ugly for the feet.. so now we know they are bad for the feet too. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba136 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 They sure are popular, though. Must have been 50 different pairs on sale at the shoe store this afternoon. (all different colors, and ornaments on the toe straps). Not a pretty sight to the "real" heel lover. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

(all different colors, and ornaments on the toe straps). Not a pretty sight to the "real" heel lover. They are a fad. Most places they're pretty inexpensive. When I was growing up, they were called thongs. Now they make bright colors, add designs to them, advertise them, call them flip-flops: the latest fashion trend, and they sell like hotcakes and it seems like every other person is wearing them. That's great marketing on a cheap product that we now find is not good for you to wear. How about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin gig Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Fad Huh?? I don't know where you are, But here in NY Manhattan and rural areas they are going strong!! for more than 2 seasons!!

You're right, they are not a fad, they are a monster! What started out something simple and inexpensive (few colors to choose) is now flooding the the market as I described above. No, where I live it is the same a s you described. Fad was the wrong choice of word in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin gig Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 I have a friend who lives in Paris who came to visit me. We went out for the day.. she could not believe the number of people men and women wearing "beach shoes"! I told her that she should not say that too loud as i could not vouch for her safety. We also went to a wedding MORE OF THEM THERE TOO!!" she asked me if "americans work"? I asked her what did she mean.. she went on to tell me that she has never seen so many beach shoes- but not at the beach! she has seen them at work sites,weddings, parties, "I would never wear such silly shoes in france". I just think they are ugly and serve no purpose except at the beach.. and that might be a stretch too.. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Moderation is the key word in the video. My issue with flip-flops is that they seem to have become omnipresent as a fashion trend. In my opinion, they are akin to being barefoot and should not be acceptable anywhere shoes are required. They are NOT fashionable unless you are at the beach/pool, etc. The increase in casualness of fashion is most disturbing and there are alternatives for attractive flat sandals. Style is built from the ground up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin gig Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks for the reply. I believe that very much! I do think that FF'S belong on the beach and that's pretty much it. I think it's too bad that they are being accepted everywhere. oh well winter's coming at least there will be Boots to look at. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
