Flip flops

Has anyone else seen people at the gym on the treadmill or elliptical in flip flops? I'm not talking sandals with a strap to hold them on, but full-on flip flops. Wouldn't that just make it so much more difficult to work out? I don't get it.

    Flip Flops were meant to wear to the shower or around the pool. Not every day, every where, every occasion.

    With that stick up there it must get real tough to sit sometimes.

    I can be a little uncoordinated sometimes, but I can't imagine even attempting to run on a treadmill with them! Don't gyms usually have shoe wear policies for safety reasons?

    Flip flops are not for the gym and working out. They are very bad for your feet because you have to grab with your toes to keep them on, and there is no real support for your arches.

    Yes. I rarely see people at the gym at my apartment, but a lady came in wearing flip flops and a sundress and started working out on the elliptical. I was like umm what? lol

    I love flip flops, but there's a time and a place for them... gym doesn't seem like the safest place for them though. Stubbed toes, getting stuck, dropping stuff...

    I squat and deadlift barefooted. I've seen other do so in flip flops. But running on a treadmill in flip flops, they must have major toe pinching strength.

    Ouch. I'm picturing the flip flop breaking and seeing it go flying maybe hitting someone walking behind the machine who starts jumping up and down and knocks someone else down...sounds pretty darn dangerous. I think I'll move my butt WAY over to the other side of the gym room. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

    Tell that to every florida resident, if you wear closed shoes, you're going somewhere fancy LOL


    Our gyms around here do not allow flerp flerps on the machines. Yes, flerp flerps, if you haven't seen it, google it.
