I found this on a sheet of paper stuck in a book:

                                                                 The Open-Toed Shoe Pledge
                                                 (Please raise your big toes and repeat after me)

As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes:

• I promise to always wear sandals that fit.  My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs.  The sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.
• I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh and chip-free.  I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.  I will sand down mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.
• I will shave the hairs off of my big toe.
• I won’t wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, co-worker, mother, or sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.  If a strap breaks, I won’t duct tape, pin, glue, or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay.  I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.
• I will not live in corn denial, rather, I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl if my feet need him.
• I will resist the urge to buy Jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids’ sizes.  This is out of concern for my own safety, and the safety of others.  No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.
• I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.  If I have been privy to the magic that is Foot Soup, I will share that knowledge and experience with the non-initiated.
• I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/co-worker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals.  Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.
• I will promise is I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.
• I will promise to go to my local beauty school at least once per season and have a real pedicure.
• I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear.  Nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

LMAO.....I needed a chuckle....y'all are funny.  Ya know Mary, my big toe is the only one that the nail polish stays on for like EVER!  I think it'd survive 'til the next ice age if I didn't remove it...

LOL, So how about socks with sandals?  Theres not much I can do about mangled feet, so I'll just buy cute socks.   I just hate going in the pool with socks, but if it's required, I guess I will. lol

LMAO   I take the pledge excluding.......the quick touch up of the big toe.  I can't tell you how many times I have done this. LOL   That big toe always seems to be the only one to get messed up !

I will take the pledge... I hate to see women without proper feet etiquette... I can't stand people in general who do not get or give theirself a pedicure...long nasty nails... or as kim said their toes hang ove the edge of the shoe...if you can afford to buy sandals/flip lops that fit... don't wear them... thanks I needed a smile ...

LMAO.....I have taken the pledge and do solely swear to uphold it.LOL    .... I also promise to pass  it on to some friends who are in desperate need of proper feet etiquette.This will be a subtle way of telling them  'girl do something about those feet or cover them up'....LOL..... I'm a huge feet inspector.I can't stand it when I see someone wearing open toe shoes and there toes look like claws hanging over the top and every other toe is painted and their big toe has more hair on it then my husbands...YUK
