For the record, I love women feet, cute ones though...not all, and they're some really ugly and disgusting feet out there wearing flipflops.

Now, I can understand the "confortable" part of it, but some women take it too far, at the office some wear flip flops all the time, which I find completely tacky or "kitsch", here you are in a professional office enviroment, with shoes that makes you look like you're at your home mopping the floor, washing the car or relaxing at the pool. Is like the dress code rules (or common sense and taste) doesn't applies for footwear, you see a person elegantly dressed, and there you go....flip flops on their feet.

What's worse is that the dress code is unofficially "bent" for women, the second you see a man wearing flip flops he will probably receive some kinda "warning".

The sports sliders are common with those who are athletic, so they can change out of cleats or "court" shoes before going on the street, not everyone does this for fashion reasons - or lack thereof depending upon you siding on this issue. It does look funny but the one that tops this is people going in public in PJ bottoms and their slipper - it actually drives my husband nuts, lol.

My biggest pet peeve? People who show up at the airport in their pajamas to take an international flight. Worse than fanny packs and white sneakers.

That being said, I never wear flip flops or pjs while traveling, even if it's a 36-hour journey, and the reason is clear - the mile-high club!!

We arrived to the States on March last year, a few weeks later, some day when it was "officially" Spring, the streets, malls, etc we're packed with teen girls in flipflops and tiny shorts (oh!...and huuuuge lines at Rita's, free icescream I guess).....what was weird is that there were still patches of snow outside, no sun at all, cloudy day with showers and still frigging cold weather.

My wife and I were like, WTF?....whats wrong with this people?, we're used to it now, we still think they're nuts when we see people dressed for summer in the middle of march, but I guess is some cultural thing I won't get coming from southamerica.
