At one time I was planning on putting a bucket of clean socks at my front door for sandal freaks to wear when they came over. Can't remember what happened to that idea. My wife might have kyboshed it.
Damn! I would have crashed that party for a clean pair of socks.

I'm not sure that this is the badge of honour you seem to think it is though. Sandals (and flip-flops in particular) are the best footwear. I guess misery loves company.

Misery was when I was wearing them! I prefer footwear that stays on my feet

It seems like this is a case of 'right tool for the job'... I have a pair of flip flops that I've worn for years and probably have a total of ~2km on them, because they're perfect for slipping on to go out to the bbq or not worry about getting wet on the deck... I'd never wear them "out", but I can't think of anything better for the back deck application.

God wears Sandals. Buddha wears sandals, Ghandi wore sandals, Vishnu wore sandals! Zeus and Jupiter and that whole Pantheon! I dont know about Mohammad because we're not allowed to see a lot of pictures of him but its a decent bet he wore sandals.

'tis the footwear of the Gods!
I thought Greek gods wore Nike.

Edit: bollox, beaten to it in a much more sophisticated way Brendon

Me too… it’s awesome. Golfing barefoot is so fun. But I also bring socks to wear in peoples homes if I don’t have them on in my footwear.

Slides and clogs are both better. Slides are like the more attractive brother to flip flops. Still generally bad, but you’re heading in the right direction. Clogs (including crocs) are yet another step (multiple, in some cases) above slides.

Regardless, both would be better, more functional and more comfortable.

Flip flops serve nobody.

As you can see, the problem is not me or the contractor, it’s the bank.

I might look into switching. Here’s another example, I’m renting a place (to eventually move into the place I’m renovating). Rent is $2500. Have to pay in two tranches….

It’s just nonsense and annoying as F. And also quite a low threshold if you ask me.

Albino Fred, but frighteningly close.

Flip-flops, or as we used to call them—thongs—are as objectionable a public sight as someone traipsing around in thong underwear. I'm with the anti-sandal faction: put some shoes on, ya hobo.

Slides are infinitely better than the lowly flip flop. Who likes having something stuck between your toes?
