Okay I’m going to blunt and honest. Not only because it’s in my nature, but because I owe it to you. Flip Flops should not be worn anywhere, but at the pool, beach and around water related activities. This is only an opinion, but I’m sharing nonetheless. The only exception is a leaving the salon after having a pedicure. For many people, (way too many) flip flops are a popular choice for summer footwear to the mall, grocery store, a night on the town, and to work. They’ve completely given up when it comes to what goes on their feet.
beach and poolside appropriate footwear
Flip Flops seem to be everywhere and on everyone. They come is all colors and brands from Old Navy to Prada and with price points from $1.99 to $285.00 you have amazing choices. However, even if you did pay hundreds of dollars keep it near the water. $200.00 flip flops are still just flip flops. Now when you need a nice and comfortable sandal to wear during the summer there is a more appropriate choice. Introducing, the more approcpriate thong sandal.
A great thong sandal to wear around town.
If you’re a guy then there are plenty of stylish options for you as well.

I am still haunted by the Northwestern University’s Women’s Lacrosse team that visited the White House wearing pretty dresses and tacky ass flip flops. Had they been protesting the administration (Bush was in office) then maybe, but still very tacky and inappropriate.
So there you have it. My short rant with suggestions and pictures of how to keep you feet cool in this cruel summer heat, yet stylish. Later for now.
