So on my college campus there still seems to be a lot of dumb asses wearing flip flops. In Spokane last week it snowed not only that but the snow stuck for a day. It has been that cold. These damn kids are still wearing their *******-ratty-nasty-black-from-sweat-and-dirt flip flops, even with winter jackets. Its terrible. Dont get me wrong though, there is nothing wrong with wearing flipflops in the summer time, but ****, Snow on the ground and they wont let them go! I have been freezing ****** of in this damn city ever since I returned in September. Of course they are all part of the Abercrombie and Fitch wearing "Douche Rocket" crowd.

i dont think they wear em cuz of a higher cold tolerance
i agree with the abercrombieness
they wear em cuz they wanna be abercrombie
or cuz to em its trendy in soem other way
not cuz there not cold
a lot of people might wear boots in summer and i dont think its cuz their heat tolerence is higher then other folks

Not true as well in SoCal. Here flip flops and sandals are the general uniform during 90% of the year.

I live in Southern California and hate it when guys wear flip-flops. Why? They never take care of their feet, it's always so damn grotesque when I look down at A)Hairy feet, B)Extremely dry and ashy feet, C)Unnaturally boney feet, D) Black soles due to dirt and E)Dirty feet due to dirt and sweat. I live 5 miles away from the beach, and I don't care if you're going to go to the beach in a few hours, put some ******* shoes on!

Girls look good in them because they take care of their feet, guys don't.

Dude, it's college. Most schools are a vortex of slovenliness, you should be glad they were wearing shoes at all.

No people are dumbasses because its freezing outside, they wear their Sandals with say a big down jacket. Looks like Frostbite will be in style this year.

Also about the not taking care of the feet thing, I agree. If you are going to go with sandals please wash your damn feet and cut your nails. When I wear sandals, even when I am not, I take pretty good care of my feet, Learned that one in Nam...

What's equally disturbing is those who wear them with jeans, a dress shirt AND a blazer or jacket. Now that is heinous.

Wear shoes to the beach? Gimme a break. Im in southern california too and there is a reason tons of people wear flip flops: its utilitarian.

You could wear these, if your feet get cold.
