Well then, you better never wear a pair of flipflops in LA cause those gay guys might just hump you silly in public.

Yes. I wear them all the time with jeans or shorts. It's too hot in Arizona not to do so.

I've always worn zoris (the $2 rubber ones), but I grew up at the beach. They were always a wardrobe staple and at the time I think they were mostly a surfer/beach culture thing. I still wear them but only when it's really hot out or I'm just doing something casual. I think they look fine with shorts and tees, but can see how it looks ridiculous when every other dude is wearing them on the High Street.

Those are veering into mandal territory. I'd stick with the more streamlined flip-flop. In leather if you prefer.

I like these quite a bit and would love a pair but they are probably pretty expensive. They look similar to a pair that Polo has out this season.

Crocs are the ugliest shoes I have ever seen. I noticed that everyone wheres them in the future in idiocracy. I wear my rainbows a lot because I hate washing socks. They are so comfy once they are broken in.

I wear them year round. Rubber ones when I'm around the water, leather ones for work and school.

Yes my feet do get cold, no I do not care
