What is it with flip flops at almost every store I go into?!?

Geez, I go to stores these days with a fear of seeing a flip flop display. These are not even shoe stores! A craft store chain even had some the last place I thought I would see something like this. When I am at WalMart I I have to avoid the shoe section altogether because they have them in the middle aisle right at your face so I cut through the clothing section if I need to to to electronics. At Old Navy I get real nervous as I pass the dispaly, I pass it very fast or I get on my cellphone as to pretend to ignore the whole situation. I even buy my shoes on the internet now for that fear. Don't you think they should just be kept in footwear and not by underwear?

Its because it's summer and they're trying to promote sales, it's a marketing ploy. Plus at craft stores people make their own flip flops by decorating them, they've been there for years... nothing new. Same with Old Navy and Wal-mart lol. You're going to see more as the weather gets warmer.
Reply:Do you have a fear of feet? Flip flops are in style so you're right...they are everywhere.....
Reply:You know what's the worst? I work at Target and we have an entire aisle devoted to flip flops, and for the first two weeks we have them, the smell of rubber is so overpowering it makes you want to hurl.
Reply:it close to summer so people want their products sold but not in a shoe section where ppl dont go like if you go to walmart some ppl dont buy shoes there so if in the underware where ppl do buy stuff they might buy that to its all about making money
Reply:They're just trying to make a buck.

Reply:Why are you so afraid of flip-flops? At least people aren't referring to them as "thongs" anymore. Except my parents, but they're ancient.


It's flip-flop season, honey. The weather is getting better, it's spring, summer is on the horizon, kids will be going swimming... Flip-flops are just in! Embrace it.
Reply:well everyone wears flip flops (apperantly not you) but do you like, have a problem with flip flops...cuz they never bother me...just don't mind then...who cares...they're just flip flops! (besides...it's spring so flip flops are in season) what kind of shoes do you wear in the summer?
Reply:Well, my guess is because they are cheap to make, cheap to sell and everyone buys them! Stores can make a nice little profit of these flip-flops and everyone is wearing them, especially college students. You cant go anywhere without seeing a girl in lounge pants that are too long and flip-flops. Even other mom-friends of mine all wear them! People like them because they are cheap, easy to put on, and lightweight. I am afraid you wont be able to get away from these flip-flops until the fad goes away! I wear them all summer long, but i like ones that are a little fancier. With two kids, they go with everything and i can slip them on and off when i am holding the little one in my arms! Try buying a really cute pair that you like, at first you might get a blister, if you have never worn them before, but then your toes will be so use to them, that putting on a regular pair of shoes will feel like prison to your feet! LOL So, go with the flow and try a pair, you might actually like wearing them!
Reply:U obviously dont live in Oz. Over here thats pretty much the only footwear that we wear in Summer, and even most of winter, along with uggies.


Ur considered strange or abnormal if u dont have at least 2 or 3 pairs.


And we call them thongs. Sounds much better dont u think?
