I bought those recliners to try out. For $18 it seemed like a no-lose situation.

OK. For $22 I got the Volcom Faders. I figured it would be a good pair of backup flip flops while on vacation. I always travel with back ups where I'll be wearing flip flops a lot. Worst thing is to blow out a pair and have to go shopping and over spend on a pair you don't even like.

Just get you some sweet Jerusalem Cruisers and be done with it.



Seriously though, I just retired a pair of flojos that I had been wearing since 2011 and I wear flip flops a lot during the summer. Best and most comfortable pair I've ever had. My current reefs are nice as well, but not as comfortable as the flojos. Picked up a pair of sanuk shoes the other day and they're really comfortable so far.

Similar to the one's I had:

I'm not saying I wear Birks every day, but I wear Birks every day. They're comfortable, I have hobbit feet, and I can get away with it. So, yeah.

No socks, though. Only homos wear them with socks.

Many internationals wear them this way. I don't think they are homos, just internationals.

My question from last years thread was not answered, so I'll ask again...

Do those with Reef flip flops with bottle openers on the sole, that they utilize, wear them in public restrooms?
Green is the new RED.

A tangental follow up question: if you have an Aggie ring why do you need a bottle opener?

CVS had some nice flip flops for $12.99 last night.

Should note I avoid flip flops, so probably not the best judge on the matter.

Well, that ruined any idea of me buying those.

Can't imagine opening a bootle I'll drink out of using a flip flop i wore in a public restroom that might resemble the restroom at the chicken or run down gas station.

Bucees on the other hand, I wouldn't blink at drinking directly off the floor in their bathrooms

No shoes, no shirt, no problems
so I tried this philosophy with pants at the Denny's down the street and now I'm not allowed within 250 feet of any of their restaurants, anywhere inside of the city limits of Spartanburg, South Carolina (without written permission from the mayor and the chief of police), or the craps table at Slots-O-Fun on the Las Vegas strip.

I bought a $40 pair of Sperry's at Academy about 2-3 years ago and they are holding up great.


I'm on my second pair of these from Academy they hold up very well and the price is right. I looked and tried on a bunch of other brands and came back to the Sperry's

Those Volcoms do look comfy but fellas I'm telling you, I'd put rainbows up against anything out there plus they are indestructible.

Not at all

Actually, i can't imagine using my shoe to open a drink.

I've already said it once but it's worth repeating, don't buy anything without at least trying Olukai first. They are far and away more comfortable than anything else mentioned here and I've worn mine everywhere except to the office the last 4 years and they still look new.

Thanks for posting and thanks to the earlier poster recommending the Volcom Recliners. Took advantage of 1/2 off and quite pleased I did. Super comfy and got the 'port' color (Black with Aggie maroon accents).

Why would anybody wear flip flops at the Chicken or similarly unkempt restrooms? The sugar might take some of my toes eventually, but I'm not going to willingly surrender them to whatever lurks in those petri dishes.

An esteemed colleague of mine tries his best to break people of that habit after he's had a few too many by "missing" the urinal and splashing their feet. Since he's a bald old fart like me, the younguns just assume he's got a prostate the size of a grapefruit and can't hold it.

Yeah I got mine in too. Awesome for the price. They are not nice leather like the Olukai. but they are super soft.
