      Flip flops have no back, which is why they flip and flop when you walk. Were as sandals have a back and pretty much more of a support structure.

        I also learned in this thread that apparently the term metrosexual has all of a sudden been replaced with moist?

        Edit: Also, out of curiosity, could someone differentiate for me the difference between flip flops and sandals as they are being refereed to in this thread? I've always been a little confused.
        i've always thought sandals were more '' locked '' onto you feet & flip flops were really loose , only held on by clenching your big toe to the 2nd toe
        if i had to wear either i'd go with jesus sandals

          I imagine most of this is a climate thing.

          I put my money on the fact that most people that are anti-flip flop live up north and those that are pro-flop flop live down south.

          From my experience in California and now Texas, it is more common to see someone in sandals than without sandals out shopping or at a restaurant in the summer months. When the temperature is consistently hovering around 95 with 90+ percent humidity for five straight months, we do anything we can to stay as cool as possible. Wearing socks and shoes does nothing to help.

          I imagine up north where the summers aren't nearly as brutal that it's probably not nearly as common.

          I imagine if I started a post saying that people wearing big, thick, puffy jackets were stupid/gay/etc. I would be heckled from those that experience brutal winters, but here in Houston, we get about 5 to 6 serious weeks of winter a year so seeing this is just not nearly as common...people freak out here when it drops below freezing 4 or 5 days out of the year (though this year was an exception).

          I'd like to hear the locations of those from both sides of the argument.

            I honestly don't think that makes a difference though. I have lived in all climates: Montana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and summer is summer regardless, especially when it comes to climate since the weather patterns are relative to the area. I never once hesitated at wearing sandals on a nice summer day up north.

            I honestly have no idea why some are against wearing sandals, and as I mentioned earlier, I never even thought it was a discussion point (clearly I was wrong on that) but I really don't think the climate is the issue.

                  It funny that we call "flip flops" thongs here in Australia where as a "thong" has a totally different meaning in the US/Canada.

                  To us this is a pair of thongs:

                        Just like you don't see dudes wearing skinny jeans in chicago either.
                        I saw about a million guys wearing sandals or flip flops at Wrigley field just about every time I have been there. Not to mention Wrigley-ville afterwards.

                          -Regarding "why are you staring at a guy's feet": it's like when you smell something gross and you kind of can't stop smelling it. I want to look away, but I can't. Like a car wreck.

                          -The whole underlying theme of this thread is probably, and I'm just realizing this now, that feet gross the hell out of me.

                                It's been over 10 years since I took Psychology in college so, I don't remember anything about feet.

                                Have you ever had a dream about feet? If so, it doesn't appear to be all bad.
