What is the verdict on these as season to be flip-flopped is upon us?

I wear them but I despise them with the fire of 1000 suns.
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
I go barefoot (not at work thought- that's discouraged in finance)
I don't blame you; I can't think of a shoe that would offer less protection against the fire of 1000 suns, or even one sun.Originally Posted by papayahed

...and as I look out the window at the pouring rain, the gutters overflowing in their inability to contain the flood, and the odd flash of lightning filling the sky, I think to myself: 'Is this flip-flop weather?'
Flippers and aqua-lung weather. Possibly.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Nay, nay and thrice times nay. I like footwear that grips me not that I have to grip to wear. There are also too many toe stubbing, twisting and grazing opportunities. I'm just not a flip flop type.
Compulsory in New Zealand in summer.
Bad for your feet and downright dangerous in rain or wet conditions.
Don't you struggle getting them on over the boots?
I once sliced an insane piece out of my foot wearing jandals (as we call them). Drinking may have been involved.
Someone got the smart idea of exploring the tidal rocks at the end of the beach. One slip onto razor-sharp Pacific oysters and my foot was mincemeat.
Boots are good on rocks.
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

Some of my relatives have shoes like flip-flops available for you to wear when you enter. I guess they are better known as "house slippers". You take off your regular shoes when you enter and then wear those, but I prefer socks or being barefoot inside.
I think I have seen people wear these on sand beaches, but the beaches I have frequented most recently require more protection. There are shoes, I think they are called "water shoes", that slide on covering more of the foot and can be worn in water. They give you a better grip on the rocks underneath the water.
I wear them in the shower so I don't slip and fall on my face. I do the slipping on the way back from the shower on my wet flip flops.
Not appropriate for the scorching summer sun. I prefer something more covered while going out.

That's how we do it. Some people prefer to remain barefoot in summer but I feel quite uncomfortable doing so.

There is something wrong with the site right now. I'm unable to see my replies and ended up posting them twice. :/

It appears the site software has received an automatic update, and that update is causing problems!
I really hate beta testing software.
