Do you think Flip Flops are dangerous?  |
| |
| Now that the weather is warming ( it was a balmy 76 here in Eastern Kentucky today) the young girls are out with their flip flops on their feet. Do you think these shoes pose any danger in terms of driving, going up and down steps or anything? They seem to be all the rage, they are almost all I see! | | | | | |

| | I think that they are very dangerous. In the 60's we wore them in the southwest. I always tripped, stubbed a toe, and caught the flip flop under the car petel. I really don't understand why fashion comes before comfort or safety. | | | | | | |

| | Margie you bring up the very point that worries me the worst, driving in flipflops. I am so afraid that my daughter's flipflop will get caught under the gas pedal or something. They couldn't be good for your feet either, there is no arch support! I thought they were for wearing at the beach, not everyday! | | | |

| | From past experience of wearing these, yes they are very dangerous especially if you are an active person. I think sandals are much better because they stay on better. I would run in flip flops and they would almost tear my toe off, or I would catch the front on the pavement and go for a head dive. | | | | | | |

| | Flip flops or thongs (as we call them here) have always been a staple item of footwear in Australia. It's been years since I've worn them but I don't remember tripping or stubbing a toe. I remember having a pair of ruby covered velvet covered ones as a kid and I loved them. | | | | | | |

| | I wear flip flops all the time in the summer. That is unless I am cuttting grass or driving. I have worn them for years and have never had any problems. But if one is not careful, they can be dangerous. I have had a few close calls. I very seldom would drive with flip flops on. I think that is somewhat dangerous. | | | | | | |

| | That is what worries me about my daughter wearing them. She hasn't been driving long and I can just see a flipflop hung under the gas pedal or something. | | | |

| | I think they are very dangerous for several reasons. They are too easy to get your foot stuck in them and it is so easy to stip on one with the other. They do not protect the feet in any way either. They are cheap made and the thing between the toes seem to come out really easy. | | | | | | |

| | I think flip flops are dangerous. I have some, but I only wear them when I'm going outside to let the dogs out or something. I would never drive in them. My little sister drives and does whatever else in them. I think she's crazy. She doesn't see a problem with it, though. I know that on the few occasions that I've worn them longer, I almost always almost fall down. They are just too easy to trip in. Plus I need something to support my huge arches. :) I don't really get why a person would want to wear them all the time. Sandals don't take but another 5 seconds to put on and they are more comfortable and far less dangerous. | | | | | | |

| | Yes I think flipflops are a hazard. Why I continue to wear them is beyond me. I end up driving barefooted. I always loose the left one going up stairs. I think the reason is that they are too easy to put on and take off. I will probably end up doing a lipstand one day, but I guess in my case safety takes a backseat to convenience. | | | | | | |

| | Flip flops are what I wear all the time, unless there is snow on the ground or it is raining. I have stubbed my toes quite a few times over the years. Even though, I wouldn't give up the comfort of not having my feet completly covered all the time. I am a barefoot kinda person so flip flops are the least kind of shoe I can get away with. This is why I wear them :) | | | | | | |

| | I wear flip flops all the time and YES I do think they are dangerous. I don't know how many times I have almost fallen and killed myself. LOL | | | | | | |
