Gladiator sandals completely befuddle me - I see them *all* over NYC, and I don't understand how people can walk around all day in shoes with zero arch support! I mean they're just completely flat!

It's the same people who have been walking around in flip-flops all the time since before the gladiators became popular.

how people can walk around all day in shoes with zero arch support

I hate arch supports. Makes me feel like I'm walking on a stone in my shoe. My feet work just fine; stop helping me, shoes! The closer I can get to barefoot, the better.

I don't get the people who like to fly in flip-flops. As much walking as I need to do in an average airport, and as cold as some planes can get, I could not survive in flip-flops.

Sue, I never saw Slacker. I guess I should remedy. Oh, dur. MSCL wasn't a movie, but I think that's my touchstone, which makes sense b/c I graduated in 1994. Even though I didn't see MSCL until, like, two years ago.

Merging 90s icons and current(?) fashion...

Dear Courtney, you didn't have that hair *in the 90s*, are you really so bitter you missed out?

See, flip-flops I can and do wear all summer. But they're sort of squishy at least! I'm like Zen, though -- if I could barefoot all summer, I would be.

My Croc flip-flops are my default airport shoe (and I bring socks in my purse for the plane) because you can walk through security without taking them off.

I will say I wish no one would wear harem pants. Except MC Hammer.

And bellydancers.

I love flip flops (yeah, I said it) and can walk long distances in them but hate gladiator sandals and find ballet flats very uncomfortable.

Flip flops hurt my feet if I walk long distances in them, but I am Barefoot Girl all the time at home. It makes me crazy that Dan doesn't take his shoes off until he goes to sleep.

Who DOES that? Mine are off the second I hit the door.

I wear flip-flops in the house, and occasionally out (generally for a pedicure), but I can't walk far in them comfortably.

I can't stand flip flops (only wear them at the pool to protect my feet from planters warts and athletes foot), mostly because I always get blisters in between my big toe and second toe.
