Flip flops

I sure couldn't use a treadmill in flip-flops, but i regularly use (my own personal) elliptical in bare feet. My husband cringes, but it doesn't bother me at all.

I never wear shoes on my elliptical it make my go toes numb. I dont thing I would do it a the gym.

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.

Yes, I saw a lady at my gym on the elliptical with flip flops on. She wasn't going very fast.
I personally don't understand it and wouldn't do it, but each to their own...

That's just one of the thousands of things that people do that has absolutely no impact on my life.

Amen.

I keep hearing how the world is such a bad place. There's war. And a bad economy. And this. And that. But no matter how bad we've got it, there's time in the day to debate wearing flip flops at the gym. Sometimes I wonder what the generations who had to face the Great Depression or World War II would think about our "problems."

So what you're suggesting that the only topics worthy of discussion are those that gravely affect our lives?? I bet you're a hoot...

No one is saying that it is a problem. Its just a silly topic in "chit-chat, fun, and games"
Highly doubt anyone finds this to actually impact their life. Lighten up!

LOL indeed. Some people just delight in their new-found ability to tell people on the internet what they can't mustn't or shouldn't rant about... :laugh:

Yeah maybe we can discuss wars and the economy at more length... :drinker:

Only if there is free liquor.

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.

^^ Yup.
I wear flip flops most places, to the gym? never! I might hurt my poor flip flop!

Due to a problem with my toes, I've never worn flip flops.

But even so, I just don't understand the use of them? Why do people wear them? Do people like how they look? Do your feet really get that hot in shoes?

It's the next best thing to BAREFOOT! LOL. I grew up in Cali... so. Anyway, I never really cared what other people thing, especially when it came to clothes.

That sort of blows my mind, haha. We have about a month or two here that it's too "cold" for flip flops but besides that.. my entire family, all year. It's just what you wear, they're easy to kick off in the sand, etc. I have about a million pairs in all colors/styles, cheapy ones, nice ones etc. And YES, feet really do get that hot in shoes when it's as hot as deep fried Hell outside. Just thinking about wearing "real" shoes outside of the gym in the summer makes me want to scream.

I love flip flops...I wear them sometimes when I ride my stationary bike (in my bedroom).
