Default Why do so many girls in this city wear FLIP FLOPS if it's raining?

This is a black and white girl thing, it's raining and these girls still come outside with flip flops??-lol I lost count today at how many girls had on flip flop on a rainy day like today. My question is WHY?????????

Too funny--I was just talking about this with someone today. We both wore sandals and then walked several blocks in the pouring rain. My feet got soaked. I have a really hard time putting on real shoes (except sneakers when I go running) once it's consistently warm--that's my excuse.

So they don't have to wash their feet when they get home.

Ever since I nearly killed myself going down to catch catch the EL one rainy night wearing a pair of Old Navy flip-flops, I've chosen the most heavy duty shoes for rain ever. I had a n 8-inch scrap up my back from that. Took forever to heal.

This would be my answer as well, minus the sneakers. I do not own a pair of sneakers. I hate them!!!

And yes, I am wearing flippies today!

Default Flip Flop Flap?

Maybe they want to wash the chemicals off of them?
