The guys in flip-flops, bare toes paradox

not to mention flip flops ruin your feet.

Never ever have I heard this before.

The only time I'm not wearing flip-flops or running around barefooted is when I'm at work or at the gym. I'm 36, been that way my whole life. My feet are not ruined.

How, cleaning out the crud and toe jam? I just cut my toe nails and take a shower and my feet are beautiful. What have you guys been walking in a septic tank or something?

unless your job is shopping at walmart, no, you should not wear 'flip flops' to work.

well then, your feet must sweat in shoes and socks all the time. 😛

Get this, I wear two pairs of socks at work: one white ankle, then a black dress sock on top of it. My feet don't sweat and don't stink, unless I just got done working out.

Depends entirely on your employer. I spent the last two weeks at one of the leading software developers for major healthcare players. We are talking a campus that was probably in the range of half a billion dollars to build...

Their employees can wear flip flops and t-shirts to work. They must be doing something right.

barefoot is healthy and natural. you may be counteracting the flip flop by going barefoot enough.

the only thing worse than flipflops is crocs, both should be nuked from orbit.
