nzlegend 1 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 As an extension of the barefoot thread, which do you rate? if you had to choose only one kind? I recently got a pair of Birkenstocks and they are soooo comfortable especially after walking all day, upgraded from the jandels Link to post Share on other sites

nekobi 0 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I'm a longtime birk lover- i'm embarassed by how many pairs i own. you really cant beat the comfort. and they are so convenient here with the slip-on styles. I've worn my bostons so much, i had to get the soles replaced. they are seriously the best shoes ever!! Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Thongs are also known as flip flops. They are the very open 'shoes' that have a strap that goes in between your big toe and the next toe. Kinda hard to explain. I can't remember what else they are called. Someone else should be able to help out. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 On a strictly coolness factor tevas and birks are near the bottom. When I called normal sandals (thongs) "sandals" in Guam, the locals were quick to correct me. Apparently there they are "slippers." Where are aquasocks on this poll??

mikazooki 0 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 tevas not good for pullin the in-style kinda girl, but most definitley have their purpose. im stickin with the flip flops though... gotta walk to a beat. but, i wanna know how society degraded to the point where we could only choose one item of open footwear???? sounds like some extremist commie anti-consumerism penetrated the thinking of the law makers. hmmm, worrying.

amandanism 0 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 i own two pairs of birks. both really comfy, but one pair is a bit past its used by date. its not very good when they get wet. Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Jandals or flip flops! They are so good, the socially acceptable alternative to bare feet. Ive got 2 pairs, ultra funky. One is purple with a funky flower and the other is sky blue sparkly sequins, those babies will get you into anwywhere. As for Ender0 thinking about the coolness, its the wearer that matters mate, put a hot person in anything and they look good. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I love my birks, just cant stand how they stain your feet after wearing them all day... Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I got this beaty pair of Columbias. My dad calls them the king of all sandals. So comfortable but the smell after 2 years of use. Anyone with any ideas on getting the stink out of my beauties. baby powder works but it makes a mess. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Depending on what they are made of you could probably chuck them in the washing machine. That normally does the job. Link to post Share on other sites
