I love flip-flops. Well, who doesn't? I wear them to school almost everyday, though I'm not supposed to do that because of the dumb school rules! I see a lot of students wearing flip-flops everyday, so I guess our school rules are meant to be broken.
So why are flip-flops so well-loved?
They are comfortable and convenient. Plus, you let your feet absorb vitamin D by exposing them to the sun. Not to mention that they don't make your feet smell from excessive perspiring due to the constant stifling enclosure that shoes cause.
Well, wouldn't you say it's a win-win-win situation?
There are more and more different kinds of flip-flops out there now. Let's talk about those branded ones.
First thing that comes to my mind, 'What's the point?'.
A pair of branded flip-flops can easily fetch up to $49.90. Buying a pair $50 flip-flops? Why waste your precious money on such expensive merchandise when you can get it at a much lower rate?
Are those flip-flops going last a lot longer?
I got mine from Cotton On more than half a year ago, it's still alive, and it only cost me $5. Say you bought yours for fifty, are they going to last you 60 months or 5 years? I wouldn't even bet that they will last for 2 years. It will either break or you will get tired of it.
Are they going to make your feet look better?
Unfortunately my answer is no. Even if you have the world's coolest flip-flops, they won't make your feet look good, because they just don't.
Let's say you are outside and wearing a cool-looking $50 flip-flops and people on the street notice those cool flip-flops of yours. And that wouldn't be the only thing they notice, they will also see the feet that's wearing them.
Immediately they were turned off because they saw a pair of short and fat leg covered in scars. And above those atrocious legs are the menacing-looking thighs that, when used as a weapon, are capable of dealing a death blow to an adult bear. Just on top of the thighs is the belly that can be rivaled with a class 5 truck's tire that can manage the feat of deflecting a cannonball.
I digressed, I shall stop here.
This case wouldn't apply if you have long sexy legs, but this isn't the point here.
Of course, if you have way too much money to spare you are certainly welcome to get yourself one of those flip-flops like Havaianas. At the same time, think of those in the third world.
Happy flip-flopping!Labels: articles
