Flip-Flop Feet: How to Defeat Foot Cooties and Flaunt Sexy Toes {Stylelist}
Aug 9th 2011 1:36PM Wow, what kind of a violent town for feet do you live in? Other than hearing people complain about the girls on rush-hour subways who wear flipflops but get angry if you step on their toes, I sure haven't seen any of this.

Aug 9th 2011 1:27PM So the brand of her shoes therefore connotes that they're "nicer" and her boyfriend should dress more neatly? Way to go upholding brand worship.

Aug 9th 2011 1:22PM I can only wear flipflops with ribbon between the toes rather than rubber, and they're very firmly on my feet. While stepping in some weird way could conceivably twist them loose, that happens more with other flat shoes like ballet flats that do go around your heel. Slides, I agree, have nothing really holding them on your foot either, especially when many styles of them are heeled and therefore heavier and more apt to "slide" off. However, I can't agree that flipflops, with a ribbon firmly between your toes, fall into the same category.

Aug 9th 2011 10:29AM I'm confused. Your heel never leaves the floor of the car when switching from pedal to pedal and therefore the shoe is not hanging down. Do you have an unusual car that has such high pedals that your heel actually leaves the floor of the car?

Aug 9th 2011 10:26AM How can sandals be closed? Doesn't that negate the idea of sandals?
The sun is a great disinfectant. As long as nothing's wet, I'd much rather walk barefoot where the sun's been beating down than in a building other than a private home.

Aug 9th 2011 10:19AM Good, because enclosing damp or sweaty feet in airless shoes in warm climates is what leads to things like athlete's foot! Let the skin of your feet protect you, and just use soap and water!

Aug 9th 2011 10:14AM You're confusing. Wouldn't walking barefoot on the boardwalk expose you to splinters and chemicals, rather than flipflops?

Aug 9th 2011 10:12AM How on earth is that disgusting, especially compared to the the many other "disgusting" things on airplanes, like the ice cubes that have been found to be contaminated with fecal matter, and being in a tight enclosed space with a ton of other people? How on earth is there anything wrong with flipflps compared to those? Btw, it's a lot easier to get flipflops off for the security line, and at least you KNOW flipflips are always going to be less than sanitary, while if you take regular, enclosed shoes off to walk through the metal detector, you then after put your bare or socked feet back into enclosed shoes that were "supposed" to be cleaner! Yet this sounds better for you?

Aug 9th 2011 9:42AM I don't trust antimicrobial anything. Who knows what "good" germs are being killed off, leaving the "bad" germs free to overpopulate with no competition, helping to cause antibiotic resistance. Also, nano-technology like nano-silver is so small that it can go right through your skin and into your bloodstream, and there's been no research done to see how it affects our cells or body systems. Regular soap and water is the best, and studies have shown that antibacterial soaps are NO more effective. Look them up.

Aug 9th 2011 9:38AM Uh, duh, "your skin is built to protect you from getting infected by its very nature," so way to go to try to turn everyone into germophobes. By the way, the sun is one of the best disinfectants out there, so as long as you're not stepping in wetness, I'm much happier going barefoot outdoors where I know the sun has been beating down than inside in a building other than a private house.
Please AVOID antibacterial hand gels, for your hands OR feet or anywhere else, because washing your hands (with regular, non-antibacterial soap) gets your hands as clean as any antibacterial soap, without leaving chemicals on your hands like the gels! Not only that, but the antibacterial agent, usually Triclosan, ends up in our waterways, and is too small to be filtered out, and ends up killing weaker, non-dangerous bacteria that was keeping more dangerous bacteria in check, letting the dangerous bacteria overpopulate and help cause antibiotic resistance.
So yeah, keep any open cuts or scrapes clean and covered, duh, and let the thick skin of your feet protect you the rest of the time!
