[Dallas]

thong sandles? that sounds like a beals add for "short pants." yes, they are comfterbal after you get use to them

[Ivand]

I like them, I wear them all the time, I wearing one of those right now :D

[dougkinzinger]

I'm not wearing pants right now. ;)

[kaptain chump]

Cheap plastic ones stick to your feet (yuk) get some good ones that wont smell bad when you sweat in them. All i wear are flip flops (thong sandals?). Theyre so comfortable! Next best thing to being barefoot

[Amarok]

You mean...flip flops? I can't stand them..on me and others. Feet are ugly...people shouldn't show them. :laugh:

what are you talking about mate? Feet are dead sexy.

I bought some from American Eagle that were actually pretty comfortable even though they don't look it. Try looking at their site.

I love them, I never wore them until I got to college, but man...they are awesome! Especially the Quiksilver spongy ones!

[mattmatik]

I never really liked them until I met my girlfriend. She wears them everywhere we go and so I figured I try them out just to see if they are really that comfortable or not...and they were. What's crazy is I bought some from GAP for like $17 and they hurt like hell if I walk long distances. I bought some from Old Navy for $3.50 and they are extremely comfortable and I can wear them for extended periods of time.

over here in Hawaii, it's funny (and we make fun of people in a joking way sometimes) when people call them anything other than slippers (or "slippahs" with the pigeon accent :D). Flip flops or, especially thong sandals, will just not do it here. Slippers are everywhere here! EVERYONE wears slippers, and it's a big part of tradition here. There no getting around NOT getting a pair of slippers here :D So, I'm a little bias when I say that slippers are comfortable. They're the way to go! I mean they're open and keep your feet cool, your feet don't sweat, it keeps more socks from getting into the laundary, and you can just slip them on right away.

My feet are a little ugly, but to be perfectly honest, I don't really care. Love flip flops, but only on warm days. (although down here in Australia we just call them thongs)

[....]

Down with flip flops. (N)

[The_Rain_King]

Sandals rule. I wear them year round. I agree with those here who find the hard plastic toe piece annoying - those suck, but almost anything from Walmart I can make last 8-10 months of continuous wearing.

For anyone who enjoys sandals but needs somthing more utilitarian, like with a real sole, get yourself a pair of Chacos. It's the last pair you'll ever buy.

[frease]

I like sandals cos' I like to air my feet :laugh:

[Xab]

I think they are really uncomfortable. I got a pair of sandals from AE that don't have that little piece in the middle and they are much better. I've just never cared for the thong sandals.

[dougkinzinger]

HA You got PM'd didn't you... :p

No, actually, I just thought it would be funny.

Exactly! I have a pair of dark brown reefs, black reefs, and that exact pair of rainbows....my favs

[hifive]

Ugh. Is there some secret to walking with these things? They either slide forward to the point of falling off or getting too pushed too far back to the point of hurting the skin between my toes. It's a pain to wear these... there's got to be a secret.
