I'm so addicted. I love them and love to have all kinds of styles and colors. It's like a lilttle "collection" I get each year because they're so inexpensive and come in so many styles. Do you buy a bunch of different flip-flops over the summer?

I do wear flip flops in summer. I like them as they are so comfortable. But I also wear sandles in summer. Actually in summer I have so many option to waear and I want to wear all of them lol. Becasue in winter I can wear only shoes. As winter is long here I don't get much time to wear other foot wear then shoes. I also like to collect flip flops no matter I wear every pair or not. As you have said it does not cost much to have a pair of flip flops. So I don't stop myself from buying those.

That's how I am, I feel like it's a cheap treat and better then stopping for an ice cream! LOL

Actually I don't own any flip-flops. I think that for myself I'm not a huge fan of them. I just find them too...um...unstable. My feet slip around too much and they make me more likely to trip over my feet. Instead I usually wear Tevas in the summer. You can strap them to your feet and they have a bit more support. Plus you can wear them right into the water which really comes in handy when I am at a lake or something. Then I don't have to walk directly on the squishy bottom ;-) I do think flip flops are cute though, and always get tempted to by them when I see those cute beaded or sparkely pairs, but I know that in reality they aren't really pratical footwear for me.

I adore flip-flops. Unfortunatly I can't wear them anymore, because they don't like the side of my big toe, lol. I wish I could. They are the most comfortable summer feet wear I've ever found. I wear slip on sandles now, with no toe spacer. But they aren't near as cute a flip flops.

I can't wear those, they drive me nuts! i can't stand things between my toes! its one of my "things". I can't get used to it, and i'd rather walk on nails then have those lil peices of plastic between my toes!! lol. But i can see why you'd love them, no laces, just shove em on and walk out the door lol. and i've NEVER bought a pair :)

Okay...here we go again...can you tell me what color the bag is that is sitting on my stairs with the new flip flops I JUST purchased tonight on the way home from work? LOL..You are too much..it is uncanny how you start discussions that seem to be directed at me!!! Let's see ..there was the ice cream bar I had just consumed when you started the discussion on eating at the computer...oh..I won't go on....Yes...I LOVE flip flops...and I love all the styles and colors....they are so much fun and can really tie your outfit together in such a simple way!!!! ( Now I'm going to check for cameras that may be installed in my house...that way I can "direct" your next discussion!!) LOL... I really did just stop and purchase the cutest coral f/f's with beading and fabric...they just happened to match a top I was wearing today that I love!!!

LOL... well I wasn't going to say anything but I wanted to know how you got them to match the top so I had to ask a discreet question about flip flops. Ever feel like you're being stalked? LOL I swear... I don't even know where you live!!!!!!! LOL Too funny. I do seem to do that often to you don't I?

Yes i do wear flipflops.. not only during summer.. i have different colors. Yes its a little addictive specially when you want to have all the colors and all the designs. Here in our country the famous brands for flipflops are Havaianas, Dupe and Crocs. There are other brands but people preferred these three.

I am also addicted but because I live in Texas I wear flip flops year round, in fact, my favorite ones are the cheap ones the ones you get at the dollar store, but my daughter got me some for my birthday in March and they have become my new favorites they are Victoria Secrets and are pink, I wear them everywhere

I wear them almost year around when I can get a way with it. My back doesn't always like them for long period but most times I wear them for short walking areas. I love flip flops. I grew up wearing them all the time in the summer. My dad hated them so of course I loved them even more. I need to get a new pair though. That I'll get at the dollar store.

I prefer my Crocs to flipflops. I have trouble wearing shoes that don't have something going around the back of my foot. I think it feels funny when the shoe comes up to hit your foot again.

I have crocs too. They tend to make me sweat a bit more though. The flip flops let my feet breathe.

I do buy at least a couple of pairs every year because they get worn out. I wear mine in the spring, summer, fall and winter. I also can't resist getting a cute pair when I see them. You are right why not since they don't cost much.

I do that, too! I think I had about 15 pairs last year -- a few I wore out, a few the puppy chewed up, etc. I have 4 pairs to start summer 2007 with, and I'll collect as I go, I suppose! :)

Ooooh.. I love the Bazooka ones! And I want a pair of the brown ones as my 'dressy' ones! LOL I honest to God wear them with summer dresses and such. Unless it's a super dressed up affair I wear them no matter what.

*LOL* There's nothing wrong with that! Last summer was a scorcher and I got away with wearing the black ones with the thin straps for weeks to work before my boss vetoed it.. Nuts! :) I would wear them all summer if I could! Thanks for best response!

I use them everyday in summer. I need to feel my feet very confortable and I hate to feel the feet very hot. So I only use them and I have only a pair of shoes for a special ocasion.

I love flip flops. When I was younger I always had several pair in my closet. You could buy them for a song. For some reason I can't wear them anymore. The toe piece irritates my toe. Pity really.

I certainly do, I find that because of hip replacements I can't get shoes that have laces or buckles etc as I cannot get down to my feet properly so these kind of shoes are the most practical.

I like to wear flip flops in the summer. They are a cooler alternative to wearing slipper around the house, are great to just slip on if you want to go into the garden, and are really good for when you're going swimming or down to the beach. They are also quite cheap and come in loads of different styles and colours. I love them!

Yup of course! It's very breezy, comfy and relaxing to wear it especially on the beach. I have 6 pairs all in all. One got lost during a storm, haha ;)

I love wearing flip-flops. I'm so glad that I could wear whatever footwear I want now because when I was in high school we had uniforms so yeah. I have 6 pairs of rubber flip-flops that I alternately use. They're just so comfortable and easy to wear and I don't have to worry about them matching my outfit or anything. I use them all-year round though. But when it's the rainy season, I wear shoes because I get muck all over my feet. :) Sometimes it's kind of embarrassing though because I haven't got the world's best toes/toenails!
