Perhaps it's the "you get what you pay for" syndrome. They sound really inexpensive - maybe better quality flip-flops wouldn't hurtyour feet? I can wear any kind of shoe with no problem other than the blister thing that happens when wearing a new pair of shoes or sandals.

Had to add this to the thread ~ I just saw that someone on Freecycle was offering a large box of Old Navy flip flops ~ "hardly worn" LOL!

I haven't toss all of mine yet. Still hoping to find a craft to do with them. Maybe I can make them into a doormat? Stick them together and make a quilted padded bath mat? A beach bag?

I used to wear flip flops all the time, but then I had problems in the joint of the big toe. Dr. said no more flip flops, took 6 months to heal. Now I wear scuffs.

Since it's so dry here, I can't really wear flip flops and if I do, it's only for a short period of time. They dry out my heals to where they'll split and bleed.. (not pretty)

So I bought some Sketchers on sale that have a sorta wrap around my big toe so it's sorta like flip flops, but they don't dry out my heals..love Sketchers!

I never expose my feet. I had my toe broken by an over exerberant dancer once and since then, they stay in closed up shoes.

If I call them thongs, my daughter goes crazy. I have a couple of pairs that I love. I bought a couple of cheap pairs and they were so uncomfortable I threw them away.
