Well I continued to wear my flip flops while everyone else here switched to those revolting Crocs. Now there's a stupid looking unflattering shoe. I swear if I wore them I would have the exact physique of a duck. Proud to have never switched to the croc. <br /><br />I am just stunned that anyone would wear any sort of rubber footware to church (yes OK the pregnant get a pass), the one time of the week people here (Fiji) have an excuse to wear great shoes...meghttp://megcampbellback.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-79357131004813780572009-06-02T15:11:04.126-06:002009-06-02T15:11:04.126-06:00i'm late to this comment fest so i'm fairly certain i won't be noticed BUT ...<br /><br />i don't mind flip flops, i mind tevos and birkenstocks. ugh! ugh! ughliness ugh!<br /><br />and isn't it ironic that my word ver is deskind while discussing bare feet?Tiffany UnTwistedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00898571565422308603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-73533663121170841882009-06-01T23:05:48.931-06:002009-06-01T23:05:48.931-06:00First time commenter-not that I want to draw attention to my flip flop wearing self-but I just posted about my daughter who wears flip flops today. I live in So Cal, and that is what we wear. They make leather flip flops and some with charms, too! I am against church flip flops, though.<br /><br />That said, they really are bad for your feet and what my post was about. But sometimes I even wear them on my elliptical!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00103993586753057004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-87708928107656342732009-06-01T17:20:12.454-06:002009-06-01T17:20:12.454-06:00I see what you are trying to say here, but for those of us who wear size 10 triple AAA, finding nice sandals is impossible.

At 8 months pregnant, I was reduced to wearing them to church because no other pair of shoes I owned fit me. I was embarrassed and had to explain myself to everyone I saw.<br /><br />Other than to church, I wear them everywhere. I love them. I do have cute, well-made ones from J. Crew so I hope that helps you feel better about me.This is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04029222863413761445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-59562516968317188912009-05-29T20:27:34.126-06:002009-05-29T20:27:34.126-06:00My husband keeps urging me to wear my super professional yet very hip navy blue power suit (of the pant variety) to church. He totally doesn't get why the pants part is unacceptable but a denim skirt and a T-shirt is. I haven't got my guts up yet, because an informal poll shows that while no one would say anything, I'd be taken for a feminist or an investigator.<br /><br />Which leads me to the point that men have a clear secular dress code to match the church's expectations: it's called business formal. Woman have no such standard. In the outside world, business formal for women is a clear standard, but it is not transferrable to church. Also, I'm proud for noticing this problem because I mostly hate fashion because I have no sense of it.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04679175981747804889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-79290988384149395622009-05-29T19:59:59.340-06:002009-05-29T19:59:59.340-06:00i am proud to say that i don't own a single pair of flip flops. hooray for me.<br /><br />last week at my kickboxing class the woman next to me was sporting a pair. weird, right? <br /><br />i just don't get the allure (unless you are pregnant and then you can get away with murder).ljhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03201182895528835178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-48942222995795365912009-05-29T19:54:07.889-06:002009-05-29T19:54:07.889-06:00flip flops and church are what I call a travishamockery.<br /><br />but at home and to the grocery store, me and my slippies are good friends, please don't break up with me.Kalli Kohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12918042036874607310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-74648974031283091642009-05-29T19:01:07.412-06:002009-05-29T19:01:07.412-06:00OK well you can rest assured that you'll never catch me wearing a pair.<br /><br />(But I do love my one pair of waterproof Birkenstocks...)compulsive writerhttp://compulsivewriter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-653608194808582862009-05-29T17:52:49.031-06:002009-05-29T17:52:49.031-06:00I'm sorry, I thought the sandals posted were the Old Navy variety...my apologies Carina, hope I didn't offend.

Here we go again.<br /><br />It IS the huge rubber sole, nutso colors and weird patterns that make the flip flop tacky. The svelte Brazilian you linked is wearing a very practical leather sandal. Which is why I live in my Rainbows in the summer. I wore them through two summer swollen feet pregnancies and they are still in great shape. Highly recommend. They do not disappoint. If you have wide feet like me, get the men's leather sandal. I agree with the above comment though, you have to know how to wear them...<br /><br />The grossest thing? When someone wearing $2 pink strapped flops takes them off for some reason and they are black with foot grime underneath and you can see all five black grimy toes on the hawaiian print foam underneath. dis.gus.ting. C'mon -- I will give you $2.... please.<br /><br />Oh! and read the article in this month's ensign about Creating a Heavenly Home -- there is a section about appearance that reminded me of this jet set soapbox... You will love it. A reference to Audrey Hepburn and everything.Likelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15173289166926862676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-10235601292708750332009-05-29T16:55:30.019-06:002009-05-29T16:55:30.019-06:00I love flip flops, but I don't wear them to church. I HAVE worn them to church, but that was when I went to San Diego after my mission, stayed with a Hawaiian family who gifted me a fancy lava lava, and we went to church at the Polynesian ward. Flip flops were required.<br /><br />If I'm wearing capris, I'm usually wearing flip flops.<br /><br />And I never have chipped polish during the flip flop wearing months. Nice polish is a requirement for me to wear sandals/flip flops. Otherwise, it's shoes.kikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08981012267978132075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-54794203567539693222009-05-29T16:53:22.378-06:002009-05-29T16:53:22.378-06:00Can we still be friends?ktbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10326345796096815523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-36114942711183494642009-05-29T16:11:33.414-06:002009-05-29T16:11:33.414-06:00Here is a <A HREF="http://jetsetcarina.blogspot.com/2006/08/hit-me-baby.html" REL="nofollow">picture of a pregnant me in flip-flops.</A>Because preggos can wear whatever they want.<br /><br />I stole those red flip-flops from my sister to whom they were promptly returned.Azúcarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-9034216228370860822009-05-29T16:07:37.443-06:002009-05-29T16:07:37.443-06:00Oh crap. I just read through the comments and realized I am so guilty of flip flop flops. When pregnant and large, I get elephantitis and my feet and ankles are embarrassingly swollen. So not only do I don flip flops when big and pregnant, but it's all my fat feet can seem to wear. So I feel completely invalidated in my previous comment. Ms. President, I would like to move to strike that from the record (yes, I am fluent in Parliamentary Procedure).rookie cookiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15476068410689088333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-25370569416319190092009-05-29T14:34:36.522-06:002009-05-29T14:34:36.522-06:00First of all, just because you call them &quot;sandals&quot; &amp; they are made of nylon or hemp or whatever the fiber-of-the-month is, doesn&#39;t make them any less of a flip-flop than those Havianas are. And second, while I agree with you on the over-casualization of society, I do love my Coach flip flops. I think it IS possible to be well put together and include flip-flops. You just have to know what you&#39;re doing. <br /><br />To me,the key message is that there is a time and a place for all things, and church/ the temple/ your wedding is neither the time nor the place for flip-flops. <br /><br />Next, will you please discuss the wearing of slippers in public? For that, that I truly do not understand.That's Ms. Amy to You...http://www.blogger.com/profile/18357451593852423745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791166.post-38655828005939649762009-05-29T13:43:50.003-06:002009-05-29T13:43:50.003-06:00Why do the Brazilians look <A HREF="http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2008/11/on-streetblue-print-rio.html" REL="nofollow">so chic</A> wearing flip-flops and the Americans look so tacky?
