...no more than neckties are obsolete outside of Wall Street.Originally Posted by Butterfly
Flip-flops, being cheaply produced in bulk from cheap rubber. Espadrilles, despite an equally simple appearance have a complex and unique construction that requires some hand work. Not difficult to see why flip-flops won out in America.
Um, sure. However, my Reefs are comfy as all hell, while the same can't be said for espadrilles (I assume you mean the ones with the jute rope soles, yes I've once tried a pair). That, and espadrilles just look so damn dainty and precious.

Sounds like you should have tried a pair that fit. At least you don't have to grip your toes down while walking in them. And what's so dainty about a strip of plain canvas over a rope sole?
also, your bare feet might not be dainty but that doesn't mean anyone wants to see them.

I'm wearing "flip flops" right now, along with 50% of the population here in Hawaii.

:are the most comfortable form of footwear, toughen my feet in the winters so my feet don't get torn to shreds on my surfboard in the summer, looks great when done right, makes you look less pretentious, are comfortable as all hell, and shows off your nice looking feet.
I wear flops all dizay and am still sexy as hell.

More like 90% Tom!
A time and a place for both Aldens AND Rainbows, IMO.
I'd love to see what some of the folks around here wear to the beach...
