Well, I agree that they're unattractive. And definitely inappropriate for a public function where the wearer is also in a suit.
Me, I love my flip-flops but I'm not sure I'm ready for 5Fingers.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Mmm. I should put on my VFFs. It's a little too chilly for flip-flops.

Because books.
I love flipflops. But the whole reason I like them is that my feet are essentially bare, and I can just kick them off.

DARN! I took my emergency pair home.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I found the 5 fingers to be more comfortable in theory than in practice, gave my pair away.

Because books.
My feet are also wide and not very big. I don't anything that's going to make them look squarer.
Also, no way to show off toenail polish. Which is the whole point of feet, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think I would like the sensation of having my toes all separated. My preferred sandals this summer were [link] The closest to a flip flop I can get without having to hold them on with my toes or hear the slapping sound. It's my favorite style of sandal.
I think the Vibram thingies are odd looking, but in a way that makes me smile a little. Like, "Hee! Toes!"
Not for the red carpet, though, Danny. Unless you had a doctor's note.

I tried on the Vibrams once. It was interesting. I could get used to it, but find them a bit weird (and possibly painful) for walking around the city--rocks! glass! curbs! I would stub all my foot.
Of course, at the moment, I am wearing slipper-like shoes that are fuzzy on the inside and barely have any structure. But it's COLD in my house today.
