The coldest winter of memory 3 years ago was a killer. We still had piles of snow in April.

I remember watching the weather for up here and really feeling sorry for you all. It was below zero degrees early and often with a lot of ice. FWIW, I was able to wear flip flops 364 or so days that year. The high never really got below 50.

I am out of them now but heck yes. After 40 plus years of high lace up steel toes I let the dogs out in the air as often as I can.

That winter convinced me to strip the siding and start from the studs on the back of the house. OSB/Tyvec wrap and new vinyl. When the temps fell to -18* with the high winds the cold permeated the walls. Not any more.

That was a serious winter.

If I wasn't at work or at church, I was pretty much in flip flops. That has obviously changed.

Understandable.

Why would anyone choose to live their unless.....

1...born there.

2...Military.

3...just nuts....

I guess I must have fit the 3rd category...

I'm with you Maan.

I'm not a bit flip flop wearer myself. I made the mistake of taking a pair on vacation to the beach in NC last summer and by day three, my feet ached from the things.

 

[wtburnette]

I haven't worn flip flops since I was in the Army back in 87. They were mandatory in the showers.

I just kick around the house in them.

I have 2 pair of TEVO strap sandals for casual/dress.....

Id much prefer to go barefoot... Actually drive that way most of the summer.

I pretty much just wear running shoes (Asics) unless I am at work.

 

[wtburnette]

I have a pair of hiking boots I year pretty much all the time. When I can't, I'm either barefoot or in loafers. I have a pair of New Balance Vibram soled shoes for working out.

Asics are definitely where it's at in the shoe department.

Used to wear Nike. Tried Asics and saw the light. Never went to anything else after that.

Interesting tangents we get on in here.
