Flip flops

My world of summertime footwear has just opened up. I taught myself to wear flip flops.

Yes, I say 'taught' myself to wear flip flops because I haven't been able to wear them in the past. I just couldn't be comfortable with that piece between my toes. It hurt!

But all the cool kids wear flip flops, leaving me feeling slightly less than cool.

Don't you think guys in flip flops are sexy?
I know I do!

So, for years I have worn sandals, like this pair of Sketchers I've had for years:

They're super comfy but I try not to get them wet since they're made with a leather-like top. I wear them when I know I'm going to be doing a good bit of walking.

And I've also worn slides, like these that disappeared at the beach one day.

Then a year or 2 ago I also found a pair of (imitation) Crocs to be oh-so-comfortable and versatile.

They're great for the beach because they can be wet or dry, and they don't throw sand up the back of your legs like flip flops do. And before you go hatin' on Crocs because their 'ugly', take a look at this sexy guy in Crocs:

I'm just sayin'.

But a few weeks ago Old Navy was having a big sale. Their solid color flip flops (normally $3.50) were just $1.00. I figured I'd give them a try, since they were only a buck, so I got a pair in red.

The 1st few times I wore them the piece between my toes was hurting that sensitive area. But I found that wearing them around the house (as opposed to going on a long walk) helped me get used to them. Now I can wear them all day long with no discomfort.

I'm SO GLAD I taught myself to wear flip flops! Not only can I flip with the cool kids and sexy guys now, but my world of summer footwear has opened up dramatically.
