Is it ok to wear.....

[Barbarian]

Mandals?

C'mon all you ST fashion gurus. Can a man wear sandals? And I'm not just talking about around the house or at the beach.

if yes, when and where can I wear them? if no, fuck you. :)

My girlfriend hates them and I can't live without 'em. And before you smart asses say that it probably has something to do with my feet than the actual wearing of sandals you are wrong. She hates it when any man wears them.
(and she claims to like my feet :p: )

How do the women around here feel about it?

[Supreme_Being]

Real men wear shoes.

[timvp]

Real men wear shoes.:tu

[Whisky Dog]

Who cares? If you like 'em then wear them. If your chick drops you solely on that reason then it was a matter of time before the inevitable happened anyway. If she tolerates it she may be a keeper.

[tp2021]

some barbarian you are. i bet your woman hit you over the head and dragged you to her homestead.

Did you come to this conclusion before or after the Colorado snow ate yours?

Post a picture of your mandles so we can see what exactly you're talking about.

What kind of nasty, unkept dudes do you hang around?

Are you seriously gonna say you have never worn sandals outside of the house? It's not like I go to the club in fucking "chanklas". C'mon now. Just talking about going to the mall on a nice day. Mr. GQ himself we got here.

Yes and yes. Unless you're too lazy to tie your shoelace (assuming you know how).

Seriously. I hate it when people go to the mall in their house clothes.

Fuck man...I'm not walking down the runway with purple pants nor am I wearing tourist toe bearers. Just old school jeans and some comfy chanks.

[Barbarian]

Either you are gay or you are my girlfriend.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I have to give credit to T Park for the inspiration.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I wear flip-flops all the damn time in the summer time. They are gotdamn comfortable and that's all that matters to me.

I also own capris, bitches.

No murse. Yet.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i wear sandals to restaurants to dine, :D

[atxrocker]

sure it's okay to wear in public. if you're homeless or homosexual of course.

[Supreme_Being]

:spin

So? Being gay automatically gives me the right to dictate on fashion. :wakeup

[SpursWoman]

I don't think I'd care one way or the other ... but I cohabitate with a man that will wear nothing but steel-toed Redwings or basketball shoes. No in-between. :fro

or after the epic blowout at the AT&T Center?

As long as there is no fungus and a nice pedicure (for men I mean clean, no cracked spots, and trimmed nails) sandals, flip flops, chanklas, etc. are fine with me.

Is it okay if I cover my fungus?

[E20]

I wear them all the time. FUck the idea of lacing up shoes everytime I need to go somewhere.

It's okay if you wear them.

[NASCARdad]

I love my sandals.

[Das Texan]

i need to start wearing my birkenstocks again.

[Kriz-Maxima]

I dont mind men wearing sandals as long as there is no nail fungus or his nails look like claws.

But wearing socks with sandals its a big no no for me.

White socks don't really bother me; I don't mind a small amount of dorkiness.

[johnsmith]

I wear flip flops everywhere.

Fuck, I'd wear them to the gym if there wasn't a chance of having a weight drop on my foot.

[peewee's lovechild]

Lazy fuck.

[peewee's lovechild]

It's okay if you wear them.

I wear strips of linen cloth all the way up to my knees.
I'm old school.

It's quite comfortable.

[Mister Sinister]

I solved that problem by just leaving my shoes tied all the time.

Ohh I forgot about that. Just like all black guys can play basketball, and all white guys can't dance, and all Mexicans are short, all gay men are born with the sixth sense of fashion. Makes perfect sense now.

[peewee's lovechild]

You forgot:

All Mexicans have great sexual vitality.

[peewee's lovechild]

Which is true, by the way.

[mrsmaalox]

And all Jews are circumcized.

And people wonder why I find stereotypes so hilarious.

Flip Flops>>>>>>>>>>> Sandals

both are gay

[Soul_Patch]

These for out on the boat or at the coast, since they dry easy and are ridiculously comfortable.

http://www.reef.com/images/PRODUCTS/large/2517_brown-tan.jpg


These for just about any other situation where shoe's are required.

I rarely wear regular shoes unless i have to go into my office, and even then if i think i can slide by without being seen, its the reef's.

[midgetonadonkey]

I have done the same. I wear regular shoes all the time.

[T Park]

i wear em in the summer in california.

Its really nice for a great mid 80s summer day.

[CuckingFunt]

For the record, I'd have much less of a problem with a guy wearing sandals than I would with him calling them "mandals."

:lol

[CosmicCowboy]

I wear Columbia flip-flops, camo shorts, and vent back fishing shirts any time the weather is warm enough. I'll even wear them to work sometimes in the summer. Any place that shorts are appropriate sandals are OK.

[Barbarian]

For the record, I have nothing to say here so I'll try to be funny.

[Phenomanul]

Hispanic men don't typically wear sandals in public places like the mall, restaurants or sporting events (somewhat of a broad stroke, I know). If they did, they would get lambasted for being 'poor huarache wearing Mexicans' or not having enough money to afford 'good' shoes. Caucasians can get away with wearing them, because 'they choose to' wear them, and not because they 'have to'. And before you laugh at the comment (as being completely off-base), I have heard this from several reputable hispanics in different walks of life.

I personally don't think that the argument is that black or white. In general, however, I'd prefer not to see other men's feet when I'm eating dinner or when I'm at the store checkout line, etc....

You've never taken your ass down to the Valley, have you?

You mean where the demographics completely skew the context of the observation?

I don't think it's off-base I just think it's a really funny thing to say in reference to sandals! :lol

[peewee's lovechild]

You're the one who made the generalization.

[v2freak]

Most of the dudes at my college wear em to class and around campus. Or they opt for crocs/slippers/weird monster feet shoes. So in short, yes

[Phenomanul]

You're the one who made the generalization.


With the noted implication that it was. :frying:

Obviously, one has to venture into the arena of generalizations because official and representative polls on such topics would be hard to come by.

Note: Boot-wearing, Mexican Ex-President Vicente Fox once made this comment, while on a recent tour through the U.S..... so it's not like I'm making this up.

And, alls I said was that it didn't hold up in the Valley.

Perhaps so, that is the nature of generalizations (and the particular demographic context I noted earlier).

Fair enough.

[bendmz]

Yep, down in the valley you talking a whole nother breed of people......

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Of course a man can wear sandals. Sandals go well with linen pants, shorts and even jeans. I wear shoes all the time and of course you can't wear sandals on every occasion but sandals, to me are ok.

[LuvBones]

If you have nice feet just wear the sandals. No socks though!

[hobbit feet]

If you have nice feet just wear the sandals. No socks though!

Thank you.

[MajicMan]

I can't wear sandals because I'm Asian. It's OK for white folk to wear em but when I rock em out in public I get called "fobby" or "Jet Li". Fucken double standard. We invented the sandal. Down with whitey!

[jman3000]

i wear sandals all the time.

fuck everyone.

[E20]

I wear them with and without socks fuck it. What's the big deal? I also cut my toenails once a month. So fuck whoever is mugging me.

[cornbread]

Sandals kick ass. All of the haters probably have feet like Bilbo Baggins.

[blizz]

i wear flip flops for about 8-9 months of the year unless i have to wear pants/jeans. i love that i get to wear em to work.

[cornbread]

WWJD?
