are they supposed to hurt this much? my one toe is bleeding where the strap is lol! the thread they use for stitching is like barbed wire or thorns. they are supposed to be comfortable, but this is torture.

5/22/2012 9:40:16 AM

wear them wet.

5/22/2012 9:41:37 AM

It baffles me why people still buy these. There are so much better sandals out there for much more reasonable prices

5/22/2012 9:44:00 AM

are you sure your pair is made right? I once bought a pair and exchanged them the next day because it caused the top part of my foot between my big toe and my bigger toe to bleed from the thread. I exchanged them for another pair of rainbows and had no problems and still wear them to this day nine years later lol

5/22/2012 9:44:32 AM

sure the quality isn't what it once was but they are still pretty damn good sandals. You may have a pair that got passed quality control, but it could be you haven't formed calluses between your toes from wearing thong styled sandals.

5/22/2012 9:58:21 AM

Fuck any man who wears sandals anywhere except for the beach, pool, etc. No one wants to see man feet.

5/22/2012 10:01:58 AM

i don't feel comfortable in running shoes and calf high white socks.

Wet them down.

But I still love Rainbows.

Do you usually wear flip-flops?

I keep forgetting you have an anti-foot fetish.

That being said...fuck shoes and fuck socks. I wish I could wear sandals every day for the rest of my life. Fuck sweaty feet.

FUCK

SUCKS

5/22/2012 10:23:50 AM

Hahaha

5/22/2012 10:24:56 AM

i am with slave, though not for the same reasons. i just find shoes to be 100 times more comfortable.

and as far as sandals go, REEF. end of discussion.

5/22/2012 10:26:37 AM

My reefs got super smelly when i got them wet, but they were the most comfortable. This year i am either getting a pair of rainbows or chacos double strap with toe strap.

5/22/2012 10:28:01 AM

rainbows are cool because they sell them in stands at the mall.

5/22/2012 10:29:52 AM

The quality of rainbows have dropped dramatically. the last two pairs i had fell apart after a few months each. The first two pairs I had lasted 3+ years each.

5/22/2012 10:30:53 AM

that stand in the mall is where every college freshman guy gets their first summer wardrobe. rainbows, a guy harvey shirt, and some croakies.

5/22/2012 10:31:57 AM

maybe you douchebags.

i do all my shopping at hot topic.

5/22/2012 10:32:31 AM

I'm rocking a pair that's at least 5 years old and I wear them very often.

5/22/2012 10:33:00 AM

I am a huge fan of my Reefs. That having been said, I have been thinking about getting a pair of the rainbows with the block S:

5/22/2012 10:35:11 AM

Been rocking my pair since 2003 and haven't had any major issues with them. They do indeed suck until you get them broken in.

5/22/2012 10:38:34 AM

I have a stiff, old pair that I need to dig out of the closet some time soon. I'm sure they smell like shit, but they were still holding up last summer.

Had them at least 6-7 years so no complaints

5/22/2012 10:38:55 AM

Thong sandals are terrible for your feet.

The one's with flaps are much better FYI.

5/22/2012 10:56:53 AM

fuck rainbows

i received mine...10 years ago? a little less, i suppose...from a girlfriend (i never would have bought them, myself) and those fuckers made my toes bleed, too...i eventually broke them in, but they're overpriced for being the crap that they are

i suppose they look a little nicer than my chaco flips, so i wear them with jeans sometimes

[Edited on May 22, 2012 at 10:58 AM. Reason : use mink oil to soften them and keep them from cracking]

Agreed. I've only seen a FEW guys who have decent enough feet to even wear sandals period.

5/22/2012 11:14:13 AM

I don't wear thongs on my ass & I don't wear them between my toes either (unless I'm at the beach).

5/22/2012 11:14:49 AM

Thong sandals are about the faggiest thing a guy can wear. grow the fuck up

5/22/2012 11:15:55 AM

RAWR RAWR RAWR

5/22/2012 11:16:56 AM

One of my main reasons to retire early is so I can quit wearing shoes on a daily basis as soon as possible.

LET MY FEET BREATHE

Also...hit up the surf shops at the end of the summer and they are almost giving away sandals. I usually walk away with at least 2 or 3 pairs for like 10 bucks a pop.

5/22/2012 11:21:31 AM

Thong sandals look a hell of a lot better than this kind of shit:



For some reason, I find that style of sandal really unflattering.

5/22/2012 11:27:47 AM

^the people I see wearing that style are normally pimpled faced, scraggly-bearded, long haired, fat, pale, sock wearing nerds.

5/22/2012 11:33:05 AM

Sooooo...Wolfwebbers

5/22/2012 11:35:20 AM

People who wear those with socks should be shot on site

5/22/2012 11:36:46 AM

Wearing sandals is one of your biggest carrots in retirement?

All I need I alcohol

5/22/2012 11:48:49 AM

if thats your idea of retirement you can have it

5/22/2012 11:51:00 AM

i hate wearing enclosed shoes

buncha hippies, the mans not holding down your feet

5/22/2012 11:59:00 AM

^^ Nobody wants to see your fat, pale feet

My feet are fine. It's fucking hot in the South...people wear sandals everywhere. As long as you don't have nasty ass feet...then fuck shoes.

5/22/2012 12:02:30 PM

ITT: People with ugly feet jealous of people without ugly feet.

5/22/2012 12:03:43 PM

tru

5/22/2012 12:05:36 PM

Has nothing to do with ugly feet vs non ugly, a man just looks silly in sandals/flip flops when not at the beach or a pool or walking out to get the mail.

5/22/2012 12:21:35 PM

Thanks for letting me know. I'll be sure to feel silly next time I head out in sandals.

5/22/2012 12:25:49 PM

because if there's one thing i pay attention to while I'm out and about, it's what other men are wearing

5/22/2012 12:26:53 PM

Don't make Jaybee bust out his credentials.

he's been a GQ subscriber since he was 16.

5/22/2012 12:27:17 PM

of course I do while I am chugging their cocks, I mean, I at least see them as I am kneeling because the only people that look at other people are us gays

5/22/2012 12:28:01 PM

I got some rainbows for free a couple years ago and they too hurt really bad.

It is NOT worth it to me to go through a really painful breaking-in process just to wear some "comfortable" sandals.

It is if you're wearing them for the rest of your life.
