I spend 90% of my days in flip flops. I live in a hot climate. Iā€™m not putting on socks unless I have to. I can probably outrun you in my flip flops.

You will get foot problems when you are older unless you are wearing higher quality supportive flip flops. Those do exist.

If you are wearing walmart or dollar store flip flops foot problems are coming for you, you don't want foot problems..

I spend between $80-100 per pair. I stick pretty strictly to Olukai brand of flops these days. Better arch support than my Nikes

Aren't Vans slip-ons with arch support and real tread?

Vans has a variety of products now some which have a lot of support. Also they seem to grip rainy and slippery surfaces very well even if they are the basic vans. I've tried them in slippery environments like amusement ride platforms in the rain and I have a bad ankle too which means I am definitely prone to falling in these environments but vans kept me from falling I did have to watch my feet when on a slippery amusement ride platform of course but the shoes did help.

These are ideal for running in a mall on the slippery floors etc.. They make special shoes for grip called the MTE line, I have 2 pairs of those now and they are insane, you literally can't fall in them.

I just wear the 'old school' ones, basic everything. I do have slip-ons and high ones with laces depending on the weather.

So I save my nice expensive shoes for when I'm home alone?

If they're expensive they should be good for your feet right?

You've never heard of Louboutin I see šŸ˜‚

I only wear Freebird by Madden and yes, they are comfortable but most expensive womens shoes are not comfy in any way...

That makes no sense. They should be comfy if they're expensive!

Yeah, send that memo to the 100K+ designers that have been creating them since inception, lol...have you ever bought shoes and clothes?

Its a good idea but I still see people walking the malls here with high heels on, which is not necessary in any way shape or form. If you are wearing heels to work you can just pack another pair of shoes to walk the mall in on your break, they even have shoes that are specifically designed for this that you can fold up and put in your bag to swap out quickly.

Real shoes? Goodyear welted, fine leather brogues perhaps?
