Not a Steve Irwin thread but something about the rather 'horrid" but comfy footwear.

These things are all over the place. I first saw them on a woman walking in the Financial District here in San Francisco over the summer. Two minutes later, I saw another one. A few weeks later, while visiting Hawaii, I saw a little kiosk shop at the Ala Moana Shopping Center selling nothing but these ugly things.

I hear they're comfortable, but hell no am I going to wear something that ugly.

I think they're ugly. I've seen them everywhere. It seems like people think they transcend rules about ettiquette...

Ya they are super ugly but so damn comfortable it is scary, it feels like you are walking on marshmellows!

i bought a pair for my mom and a friend of mine and they love the hell out of them.

They also have less ugly flip flops and new rubber boots.

Exactly! And, they have been around for quite some time now. When I bought my first pair, I had to go out of my way to find a place that carried them. This past summer, I bought my second pair and they were being sold just about everywhere.

Would the synthetic material make your feet too hot or sweaty?

They have big holes for vents and the material resists bacteria. You can also wash them in bleach.

They are indeed VERY ugly, but by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. They're also lite, like air. I wear mine every day.

I think they're foul - but I have a pair of their flip flops which are very comfy.

They are based out of the town up the road from me... Boulder Colorado, almost everyone I know has at least worn a pair or owns one, or two...

they are damn comfy though!

It's the rip-offs that are the problem, make cheap imittations affordable for every one and ugly goes national.
