So how about my summer apparel of either colonial shorts with turnups, or pleat front trousers with turnups (always black) worn with a (brightly coloured )t shirt and black rubber flip flops?Note the shorts and trousers have knife edge creases in them
And a real panama hat of course
I loathe seeing flip-flops on anyone!!
Fine for the beach/camping/mooching around in the garden etc...
But out and about...no way!
Same goes for Crocs.
And what the hell is it with the whole vest-top bra showing/skinny jeans/Ugg boot thing???? All I think when I see it is "hell, her feet must really stink!" 
There bluddy slippers ffs!!
As I said on CFH's thread...buy some shoes!
Cotton socks and leather shoes are much cooler when it's warm!!!!!
gotta admit, i'm another flip flop wearer from late Feb/early march through to mid/late October, when the shorts come out they go on!
i suppose mine are to be deemed Uber nasty then as they are Reefs with a bottle opener int he sole??
Oh, i also have a pair of croc's (most people that slag them off havent worn any, and i'll admit i did until i bought some to try!) many pairs of Deck shoes (from my sailing days!) and a pair of Mens O'niell thick fur lined winter boots! hahahha!
infacto, wife and i popped ot the beach at lunch time for an ice cream and a paddle! (5 mins away)
do agree on the ladies wearing Ugg's with worn out wonky soles wiht jeans when its Roasting does look a little silly!!!
Flipflops have a time and a place. That time and place it NOT with jeans on a Friday night at midnight in the middle of town. This seems to be beyond a lot of people with popped collars though.

only by your rules, which apply only to you...
I only wear flip flops when in gym showers or shower at home.
Anywhere else is just sad but I won't stop people wearing them. Need some ppl to look like dorks so we look cool.
I met school teachers on training sessions-wearing flip flops, greasy hair and rolled up jeans and you can guess she didn't inspire me at all-wonder what the kids think...
So it's not just guys but also women who look stupid.
It's that time of the year again. 
Guys - you wouldn't, would you?
Why not?
Because hairy toes are the worst things in the World, that's why not.

I have just been for a stroll around the shops wearing my flip flops. Why not?
My toes aren't that hairy though, and my flip flops are very nice Panama Jack ones, I'm going to go home and put them on specifically to walk round Waitrose later.
Flip-flops for around the house and beach, Birkenstocks for about town & Waitrose 
I don't have hairy toes. I do have freckly feet tho
OK, whilst I'm on a rantette ...
Body odour.
Some people are just so offensive.
I'm finding it very difficult to bite my tongue when someone gets in my face.
How can you have a nickname like the Southern Yeti and not have hairy toes??
HAHAHA, Yeti has absolutely nothing to do with my choice of bike or my level body hair!
C_G with you on the body odour thing... there was some stat on the tele the other night... something like >40% of blokes won't have washed this morning!
Crosses The Southern Yeti off my stalker list. 
@cinnamon_girl - your sense of smell is greater than your average guy - they probably know they smell a bit but not as bad as you realise...
C_G you've got this stalking game all wrong, flip flops make a person much easier to stalk 
Cover your eyes (although these are on a girl - I was wearing some too)...
Doesn't bother me in the slightest - everyone wears them down here.
my g/f waits till I'm really sweaty and then surrupticiously sniffs me
OK, I have a nose like a bloodhound hence my excitement of bluebells arriving in the woods.
People also don't change their clothes often enough either.
Teenagers need to be cut some slack cos it's their hormones ain't it?
Think I'll hibernate and come back in Winter.
I've been wearing these today so as to avoid offending people with my naked toes.
But i've just ordered a pair of these to keep CG happy.
i'll wear whatever i want, whether it's fine with you or not. no really, i care that little about your opinion
I have a dogs nose too - smell stuff way before anyone else. So feet and armpits gets special attention - any sign of a niff and I'm in the shower. I hate stinky feet and/or BO with an almost unholy passion.

Ah, the current uniform of the British male: skinhead (too tight to pay for a haircut), T-shirt, camo shorts, flip flops. Have some bloody imagination and dignity, did Winston Churchill wear shorts and flip flops? Did The Beatles, did The Sex Pistols?
No, they bloody did not.
Shorts and flip flops are for the beach. If you want to wear them, begger off to Australia FFS.

if you don't want to see them, beggar off to Ascot or somewhere else posh
I went out with a girl once who would cuddle me while wearing her eye-wateringly rancid riding jacket and say "I'm sorry, I stink. I quite like it though".
Everything about her was lovely, I liked it too.
Flip-flops are bad, but we've got guys at work wearing these:
And even worse...:
*shudder*
I think the women on here are slightly jealous and resentful of our lovely natural manly feet because they've mashed their own into bunioned claw toed messess by wearing high heels a bit too often.
Well CG when in Rome do as the Romans do!
My girlfriend has demanded that I go out and buy some Havaianas, which I have done and am wearing them now as I type.

No, how about not walking around like a scruffy ****t with no sense of style or originality? Our summer is not hot enough or long enough. Its just a lazy, thuggish way of dressing. I don't want to see your minging feet and pasty white legs thank you, keep them for your bedroom. Oh, and grow your hair and get a proper haircut while you are at it Uncle Fester, but that might require some thought and getting a barber to do it rather than using your own clippers, you cheapskate.
Flip flops should be illegal for driving in IMO, that would stop it.
What a sweet sensitive thing you must be to have your sensibilities so easily traumatised by all those beastly oafs.

Oooh I hope my brother doesn't come on soon, he's got the most spectacular range of footwear known to man or woman. And he wears them all no matter the weather. I think the last time he wore shoes was at his wedding!
He does wear everything about 5 years before it becomes popular. I remember him wearing some rubber shoe sandal things on a Wales holiday, he explained them to me and I thought they were ace. Never seen them before and thought they were really practical. 2 years later I find them becoming popular and the name now known as Crocs.

do i know you
well, it's 19 degrees in the shade up here in Sheffield's alpine resort, and i can't stop sweating, i'll mostly be wearing the flip-flops until it cools down a bit.
J-P, sod off.

- then you are too old to wear shorts and flip flops, act your age.
