I've said it before and will say it again: I hate flip-flops. So much. Everything about flip-flops just bug the crap out of me, and sometimes I don't even know why. Needless to say, I'm not particularly fond of the summer months due to the proliferation of said footwear. It's not fair, but my attraction to girls will actually drop a bit when I see them wearing flip-flops; almost as much as if she were a smoker. Honestly, a lot of similar type sandals bug me too, though less so when they're more intricate/well-laced. I think I'm less averse to shoes that are practical.
