Let's open'er up again with a request from one of my more thoughtful and interesting commenters, BdgBill.
He doesn't have a blog yet but I'm sure there is one in the works! *winkwink*
He brought up the particularly blood-boiling topic of flip flops and since the weather is getting warmer, I think I should reiterate my passionate hatred for this type of footwear.
Seriously, it is like stirring up a mental hornet's nest........
I already covered flip flops (I hate even typing those silly onomatopoeic words) in my first
Dealbreakers post with further discussion in the Girls Edition.
It's nice to know that at least some people share my views on this matter:
"With summer coming it may be a good time to replay/expand on your anti flip-flop position (especially on guys)."
Yes, especially on guys indeed:
You know what really confuses me? When people are FULLY dressed- pants/shirt/sweater/jacket but are sockless with flip flops. Like, my ENTIRE body is cold except my feet, Good God THEY need air:
Way to un-sexify yourselves:
Do your feet become numb to pain and cold after extended periods of flip flop wear? I don't get it:
This ritual is followed by a Voltron-like coming together of a giant unit of lameness:
This is it people. The one that really puts me over the edge:
Warning: The Fashion Gods are extremely vengeful and they WILL punish you for your sloth!
Flip-flopitus:
Your foot is not safe from the harshness of the urban landscape with a half-inch piece of rubber:
Like I've stated before, go ahead, wear your precious flip flops. Hopefully the fact that I will quietly be judging doesn't bother you.
Ask yourself, isn't it time to step things up a notch?

I cannot STAND the feeling of that little rubber nub betwixt my toes. Like torture. No flip-flops for me, not even for the showers!
Holy flip-floppity crap!
I am ashamed to say that
I am wearing flip flops
with jeans and am quite
chilly. Perhaps I should
have just worn the tennis
shoes instead :-)

I refuse to believe you just had this word sitting in your brain waiting to be used.
Thank you for your efforts to eradicate the flip-flop.
If just one guy reads your post and decides "Hey, maybe people do not want to look at my hairy, yellow-toenailed feet. Maybe I'll just wear sneakers", then you have truly made the world a better place.
bdgbill- As a matter of fact, I did have that word idly sitting around in my brain waiting for the right moment to be unleashed....thanks 10th grade English!!!!
And that's just the thing, you can guarantee that those man-feet are NOT properly taken care of!!!!!
i can't express my hatred of flip flops enough either. i could go on and on forever, but basically flip flops aren't good for anything. they don't look good AND they're not even comfortable.. i will never understand it.
ladylanguage- I think it is okay to wear flip flops around the house. They're just not meant for the big bad world!
That picture of the wounded feet has left me feeling quite...poor.
I have two words for all men everywhere - deck shoes. Buy a pair of deck shoes.
Key Victoria look - jeans, flip flops, hoody, baseball hat.
I only wear flip flops to the public showers. They're not cute and they don't make your feet look cute.
I'm going to be honest and say that I wore flip flops today. I usually am running so late that I have to wear flip flops to the car and grab a few pairs of shoes to put on in the car, but this morning I forgot the shoes and had to wear flip flops all day long. It was horrible.
im an aussie and we wear thongs AKA flip flops to weddings, pubs, bars and clubs....
an aussie way of life...
All I wear are flip flops. Hell even in winter. I like them because I can be barefoot at a moments notice. Why feel the need to put your feet in a prison?
I hate flip flops with a passion! They make people's feet look all wide and piggy like...i dunno, I already have a thing about feet, especially men feet (have you ever seen a man with beautiful feet? not me) Seeing them all out and exposed wherever I go doesn't help. The thing about that lady and her walmart flip flops is sad though...and gross. I stumbled onto her site once and saw all the pictures...really gross
thomas- right! At least deck shoes have structure.
sarah- pray to the shoe gods for forgiveness...penance is one whole day of stiletto wearing.
anonymous- thong. teehee.
angel- feet deserve to be in a prison! I'm not one of those people that is offended by feet, just laziness.
jello on springs- yeah, I hate the way they spread the toes out...that can't be good for your spine.
I hate flip flops too, and flipflopitus makes them that much more awful. What a frightful medical malady... They really bring it upon themselves, don't they?
I've seen men with CUTE feet -- you know, like a french bulldog is cute. Beautiful? Non.
Wow, I've never heard someonne so passionately against flip-flops besides my own mom who used to glare at me everytime I skipped out the front door wearing a down jacket and the little sandals in high school. Your points are not only valid, but humorous as well. Great post!
hear hear, I hate flip flops, but esp ON MEN. and that annoying sound they make when people wear them, ugh..
ha flip flops that don't flip OR flop OH MY...

if this was really the issue i would have cut off the straps on my flip flops and glued them to my feet a long long time ago.
Flip-flopitus looks so nasty!
hahahah LOVED THIS POST! so that flip flop disease seriously exists?
That flip flopitus picture isn't very appealing. And flip flops on guys are just shameful!
You are linked!!! I really thought I had already linked you...maybe it was one of those things where I'm blogging and then someone walks in the room and I get embarrassed and closed everything.
Wow that's pretty awful. I mean, I hate flipflops but never as much as right now.
flip flops and crocs should procreate and produce a strain of unpopular, hideous and irredeemable children.
