I love flip-flops although I do find that I walk funny in them. I had no idea they were so bad for you.

I've suffered more feet injuries wearing tennis shoes than I have flip-flops. This So Cal gal will continue wearing her flip-flops!

Us California girls would definitely have a hard time giving up those flip-flops. I wouldn't mind getting a pair with arches though.

I hate flip flops! I hate wearing them. I hate the 'thong' effect between my toes. I hate all the grit that gets in that I have to keep on tipping out. I hate getting stung by nettles when I go in a field.
I hate the feeling in my legs while I am walking.
YAY!!! I HATE flip flops!
