Sandals and flipflops, on men?

[xx44]

So the gf comes back from shopping the other day and says "I bought you a present". Im thinking she's so thoughtful as I recently made a big deal about losing my digital camera. Surprise!!! She got me these:

Obviously I couldnt hide my look of disappointment as she immediatly replies "you dont like them". Then she goes on about how I can wear them with jeans, cool to hit the beach restaurants with etc...

My reply was "I dont think men are supposed to wear flipflops outside of a water environment".

Granted my fashion sense sucks, and they are comfortable and cool (temperture wise)but is it in style for men to wear open toe shoes out,,,with jeans???

Havent worn them outside yet as I plan to return them, but wanted to follow the crowd, so what do you think?

pretty much.

looks like Orvis discontinued a sandal-like shoe that I wear. This is the closest thing:





I wear them with jeans.

sandals and flip flops on guys are gay. Long time ago when my youngest kid was maybe 5 years old I came home from work. Walked into the room and he was sitting in a chair with a real pissed off look on his face. My ex-wife and just bought him a pair of Jerusalam cruisers and she was making him wear them. I pointed at him and laughed. He insta-cried. Even at 5 years old he knew he looked gay.

This is someone that is a little bit older then most. Flip flops with jeans and a t-shirt is pretty standard fair these days. If you live in a warm climate you have no choise. IE. SAN DIEGO, MIAMI, ______(fill in blank)

Sandals are good - sandals between your toes are bad.

Yikes. Those are some happy ass sandals. Way overpriced too. I wouldn't even wear them with shorts, and I live in the tropics where Reefs (cross between sandle and thongs) are standard everywhere except clubbing and dining.

With jeans these would be hilarious.
