    LOL... I think it's all a conspiracy by the shoe industry to get us to buy shoes only....hahaha... seriously I wear flip flops often and i don't credit any of this... typical wear and tear on the body is what I say...what about the croc flip flops are those more therapeutic....

    I'm not suppose to wear flip-flops because I have bad knees and my physical terapist told me not to wear them. I do wear tennis shoes so i wont be in pain

    I'm not suppose to wear flip-flops, just because I have bad knees. My physical therapist told me not to wear them, I do anyway. I make sure I wear tennis shoes to balance it out.

    I live in Florida, and wear flip-flops year round. I think that people who say stupid things like only lazy dirty woman wear flip-flops must not live wear the heat index is over a 100 each day. I think they're comfortable, and casual. They show off my cute feet, and are easy to slip on and off.

    This is beyond silly. Slippas have been popular in Hawai'i for decades with few complaints. And a few of those folks are heavy.Besides fashion is frivolous, or so the ugly can get laid.

    I've yet to see a woman that wears flip-flops have clean feet. Flip-flops are for lazy women who don't bathe or trim their toe nails. Flip-flops are simply gross.

    You get what you pay for, and flip flops are no different. If you buy a cheap $6.99 pair of them of course your feet are going to hurt after awhile-duh! I buy a brand called Rider, they are made in Brazil and can be found in stores like Marshals for about $17.00 or so. They are one piece molded construction with cushioned soles and built in arch support. They come in regular shoe sizes (unlike the cheap ones with the dual sizes), so they fit your feet like a glove and you can walk normally without scrunching your toes to keep them on your feet and they don't make that annoying "flip-flop" sound when you walk. They're just as comfortable as shoes. They are also durable so they last more than just one or two summers. Better than throwing millions of worn out cheap ones into the landfills every year! No Rhinestones or beads, they're unisex, but masculine enough for a guy and sexy enough for a woman. If you pay cheap your going to get cheap, I've seen a lot of girls limping around with sparkly flip-flops, limping takes the sexy out of it.

    It took this long for people to figure that one out? Wow...This one is a no-brainer. No sides, no heels, no arch support, toes straining to keep them on your feet... Anyone could figure this out

    Are you kidding me? Arguing about flip-flops? How about you wear what you want to wear, and I'll wear what I want to wear. And if you don't like what I wear, you are welcome to buy me a new shoe wardrobe to replace my 20+ pairs of flip-flops that I love and are ohhhh so comfy! Then you can tell me just how much you hate my car....

    I think fatjoey likes to stir up trouble! He's got many disturbed! Afterall, it has made him very popular among the comments! Well, flip-flops has made its fortune in my daughter's wallet. Her gorgeous feet has landed her a foot modeling contract by being at the right place at the right time. And how? By wearing those so-called ugly flip-flops.....flip flop, flip flop, all the way to the bank!!! Thanks FatJoey!!!!

    I totally agree with going barefoot and wearing flipflops; that's all i wear during the summer. However this summer i have incountered many different feet issues. My heals and toes have both experinced pains and cramping; the more i complain about it the longer i am grounded from my beloved flipflops. Along with the pain i have also noticed blistering on the top of my foot . The odd blistering is rash like and is spreading along where the straps run. On top of all the discomfort from flipflops, my feet look terrible!!!!! So I agreed these lovely shoes that i can't seem to stop wearing are a problem i seriously need to deal with!

    Sure, tell that to the millions of Brazilians who have been wearing flip flops all their lives. See how crippled they are, and how funny they walk. Hey, maybe flip flops are good for soccer, and that is why Brazil has such good players!

    It's funny because I actually have fared better with going barefooted/wearing flip flops than wearing regular shoes or even running shoes. I used to have constant foot pain and was desperate for relief when I read an article that suggested my foot pain may have been associated with the fact that because I wore shoes all the time, my feet had never been allowed to develop their natural strength. Now that I go barefooted a lot, wear flip flops, and go running in my Five Fingers by Vibram, my foot pain is pretty much gone. We weren't born with shoes on our feet, you know.
