    yeah I think it is more of a Coastal area thing.. getting sand in your shoes completely sucks.. so yeah it is either sandals or steel toed work boots here.. no in between

    I hate shoes too ... wear baseball cap, shorts and beach type flip-flops (not sandals) all year long. Am brand loyal to certain Columbia's too.

    Plus, we have a rule in the house ... EVERYONE ... takes shoes off at front door and no shoes in the house.

    FWIW ... flips flops and long pants are ..... hummm .... not for me.

    PS ... When I lived in Canada & Finland ... I used to run in flip-flops in good weather ... and in the winter snow wearing low cut Kaufman Sorel boots & shorts ... down to about 15-F.

    Shoes I hate more than Sandels are the ones that have separate fingers for your toes.not sure what they are called.people say they are really comfy, but don't look like they are. I guess it's just that they are very strange to me

    Used to live in Hawaii, so they are slippers to me...not flip-flops....mostly forced to buy the ones at Walmart here in Arizona. They are somewhat spongy but get the job done, what I wouldn't do for a pair of "locals".....as for wearing with jeans, he if you making a quick trip out make for fast footwear.
    As for running in them, it's a learn art from locals in Hawaii but trust me once you learn you can run pretty fast in slippers. :D
