I like wearing flip flops. They're comfortable, and they come in such a wide range of designs and colors. But I think there's a time and place to wear them. At my job our dress code says we cannot wear flip flops even on dress-down days. But still, some people challenge it. I recently went into a clothing store, and all the young girls working there were wearing flip flops. I know it was a clothing store, but their wearing flip flops looked sloppy and unprofessional.
How do you feel about flip flops? When and where do you wear yours? Which are your favorite ones? Thanks in advance for your responses.


so many flip flops so little time

I like them too but there is definitely a time and a place for everything. Working on the job wearing them is not it, unless you're a life guard or something. It does make them look sloppy and unprofessional and I'm sure that a lot of those places would fire their employees for wearing those or at least send them home without pay until they decided to wear regular shoes. Flip flops don't alow you to move freely so you really can't do your job well if you're not wearing correct shoes.

I agree with you. They're also noisy and a safety hazard. Then again, back when I was a nursing student, we were not allowed to wear clogs in clinicals, even though Nurse Mates made a nursing clog. Now nurses wear Crocs and every color of the rainbow. Nurses don't look like nurses anymore.

I think there is a time and a place for them and that's when you are doing something casual. I just saw a girl at her confirmation wearing the prettiest dress and when she stepped down from getting her certificate....she had on flip flops! If I had been her mom or grandmother I would have told her to be respectful in church and wear shoes! No only that but it took away from her pretty dress! I have some with thick soles in a lime green that match my bathing suit. I also have some hot pink ones that match and outfit....I prefer the lime green ones! They are so much fun!

I am appalled when I see kids wearing flip flops to church. Lime green and pink are my favorite summer colors.

I like them, but I have to agree with you. there is a time and place to wear them. When I walk into a business and see someone wearing nice shoes, that go well with their clothes, it shows that they care about their job. but to walk in and see someone wearing flip flops, does kind of show them being lazy, and not caring about how their appearance relfects the business.


myLot reputation of 98/100. KATRINKA (894)   ranked 103 out of 29,399 in life  7 months ago

I agree. It tells me the person is not serious about their job.

I love flip flops they are so easy to get on and off! I don't think you should wear flip flops to work though it does not seem proffestional or santiary unless you work as a lifeguard then I can see wearing flip flops.


myLot reputation of 98/100. KATRINKA (894)   ranked 103 out of 29,399 in life  7 months ago

I agree that the only ones who ought to wear flip flops to work are lifeguards.

Yeah I understand what you mean. It doesn't really show professionalism. It's different though if you work in your office and your boss gives you permission. But other than that no. I didn't really like flip flops but I have these really nice flip flops from Coca Cola. I got them from collecting the points from the bottle and then the Coca Cola sent it to me. I agree with you there's a time and place for flip flops.


myLot reputation of 98/100. KATRINKA (894)   ranked 103 out of 29,399 in life  7 months ago

My boyfriend saves up those Coca Cola points. I'll have to ask him to save some for flip flops (for me!!!). Thanks for the tip.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ayumitakashi (2200)   ranked 325 out of 29,399 in life  7 months ago

Yeah you should tell him because they are really nice. Although when I ordered mine they were too big but I am still using them. But he should get them they are really nice.

I also love using flip flops. They're comfortable and you can easily move using them. Before only the poor wears them. But now, because of the many designs and colors and because it's the in fashion, even the rich and the middle income people wear this. What annoys me is that sometimes even in church people wear flip flops. I believe that we should be wearing formal wear when in church and not just using what we used for our everyday wear.


myLot reputation of 98/100. KATRINKA (894)   ranked 103 out of 29,399 in life  7 months ago

Old Navy has some great deals during the spring and summer seasons, and you can purchase several pairs of flip flops in vrious colors for something like $10. I'm old-fashioned, I guess, when it comes to church. I have to wear pantyhose, and I feel badly if I wear pants, even if it's a suit. I can't believe some kids go in ripped up jeans and flip flops. I know God doesn't care what you wear to worship in, but I feel it's a respect thing.

I like wearing flip flops almost everywhere.
I don't wear flip flops when I am working or meeting with my clients. I do think that it is not professional.
I wouldn't walk far with flip flops, because they offer no arch support.


myLot reputation of 98/100. KATRINKA (894)   ranked 103 out of 29,399 in life  7 months ago

You are right about their lack of arch support. I made the mistake one year of going to an amusement park in flip flops. My feet and legs ached by the end of the day.

I notice when people where flip flops in inappropriate places too.
I don't like to wear flip flops or any sandal that goes between my toes. They hurt my feet so I stay away from them.
A lot of my friends and family love their flip flops but I just can't get used to having it between my toes! I end up with sores; yuck!

i love wearing flip-flops too, especially those that are really comfortable to the feet. however i only wear them when i'm out on a shopping marathon (LOL) or running some errands that don't really require me to wear anything casual or formal (obviously) or when i'm at the beach. there definitely is a time and place to wear flip-flops. wearing it to work is a big no-no! my favorite flip-flops are havaianas & dupe.

Don't your feet hurt after a shopping marathon? LOL!

You should wear flip flops around your house and if your out in public I think a woman should wear some good kicking
shoes in case she ever gets attacked.Think about it,if someone tried to mugg you or attack you in any way then do you think think that flip flops would allow you to kick a suspect or would you even be able to run very good in these.

You make a wonderful point. I didn't even think of this!
