Flip-flops...too noisy?

Recommended Posts

I had to laugh when I read this article about flip-flops today. I've had this same conversation with my dad. He hates the noise so much, he compared me to a horse on a cobblestone walkway once! Now I just go barefoot at work. :P

The thing I hate is getting flip-flop toe, that blister between your toes from wearing them sometimes. Ouch! :S

I love my flip-flops and I have lots of 'other' sandals as well. Tevas, Birks, Docs, Born...I love them. When I die, bury me in my sandals. :)

Screw flip-flops.

What you need is a good pair of Birks. Real Birkenstocks, not the cheap ripoffs that don't feel as comfy and don't last as long. I started wearing birks when I was 15 or so, that pair lasted me about 7 years. I'm on my second pair now, for the past 3 years, and now that they're good and broken in, I see them lasting atleast another 5 years.

Well, you know, I would still be wearing my old pair, if my mother hadn't wigged out since they looked worn (looked bad in her opinion), since they were so damned comfy.

I amke almost no noise when I walk in my flip flops. My new boots make more noise (they have a really annoying squeak that won't go away).

It does kinda bug me when some people seem to make the most possible noise with them.

ps - a good fitting pair shouldn't give you that flip-toe thing. It's all about a good fit and a decent material for the thong piece. Any with cheap rubber or plastic in the middle will tear up your foot something fierce though.

pps - it's raining in my back yard, pouring actually, but it's dry in my front yard. :P

I love & live in my flip-flops!! I hardly make any noise, but sometimes I aggrivate myself w/ the noise & i HATE IT when someone can't control their flop. You just have to learn to walk correctly.

I agree w/ Katzeyes - if you know how to do it, it'll be smooth as silk.

i have lotsa pairs, you learn what kind of thong will & won't work between your toes, kinda like the other thong:) that you hope won't give you toes.

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I only have one pair, they're on that beautiful line between broken in and broken down, and I got them for less than $15 at some megamart.

I don't care much for the sound, but I LOVE the way my bum looks when I wear stilettos. I have some sexy 5" ones that I look at every day. I can hardly wait to wear them when doctor gives me the green light. This broken ankle thing sucks.

Geez...I'm sorry that you feel that I'm a tease, Wally. I don't mean to disappoint. :S

My body is not that great, you know. It's all smoke and mirrors...really. BUT~ if I am bold enough, I will post a pic of me in my stilettos once I can walk in them, ok? :)

I like my "plakkies". But only because they are small to carry when I"m walking barefoot.
- I need to go to the store, pull out my flips flops -
- You walk in a crowded dirty street, pull out the flipflops -

Otherwise i'll be barefoot

edit to add: Walmart supplied my pair for 1.89. THey have been really durable and super comfotable.
