Did you get some looks?

My range is in the back of my property, so there were only bison out there to see my flip flops and they didn't seem to care.

I do have to say, I gave zero Fs the other day and just threw on my flip flops to run a quick errand (to a small, relatively empty and fairly secure location where the possibility of engaging in a gunfight was seriously low). I figured my RMR’d G19, spare 21 round mag and backwards multicam black baseball hat offset my loss in flip flop karma. It was kind of liberating.

I've actually run in them and didn't have an issue. I do want to get a pair of these, though, but they don't flip or flop...

I'm kind of sandal-curious for hot weather hiking. My concern is hot spots in a 10+ mile day. I see they sell split toe socks as well. You end up kind of like a cow hoofed creature, but that may work.

Hiking in ANY kind of sandal sounds like asking for "hot spots" but hiking with a strap between your toes is masochistic

Does he know the material? Did he present it in an understandable and relevant manner? Was my skillset bettered for having been present?

It seems like a poor choice, and might be indicative of other issues, but I really don't care about ones choice of footwear.

Yeah, that's about how I would feel on this one too.

I've hiked a bit in hybrid sandals and even though the toes and most of the front of the foot were covered, collecting debris as I walked was a constant and annoying problem. On all but paved trails, something that open would be a nightmare, IMO.

Seems like the basket thing would be the worst of both worlds. Let stuff in but not let it fall back out. I dunno, sandals and long distances are not exactly foreign to the human experience. Neither is barefoot, but I'm way too soft to start down that path.

It was more like half of a good thing... and the open back wasn't the good part. The more open part did a much better job of letting debris in than letting it back out. True about not being foreign to the human experience, though legend has it that things didn't end so well for the first Marathon runner who likely wore sandals.

He should have just headed over to Sprint instead. He'd probably still be alive today...
