too noisy as I walk in flip flops, so shall I .... well, just wear socks with them ?

Hi all

some of you may remember a few weeks back I told you I got my first pair of flip flops, main reason for getting them is that flip flops keep your feet clean and fresher.

Since getting my flip flops I walk a lot in them and in a lot of public places, however there is a problem, they are just so damn noisy !! I did expect some noise but definitely did not think they would be so loud as the flip flop slaps/smacks the heel of my foot.

I find my flip flops very comfortable but it is slightly embarrassing when other people give me angry looks as I walk loudly past them in my flip flops.




I have a question, would it be okay if I was to wear socks ( black or white ones) with my flip flops , oh, and how is it possible to wear socks with flip flops as there is a strap for the toe but I have read on the internet on yahoo answers e.t.c. that some people wear socks with flip flops and I just wondered how to do it ?



EDIT : And why is there a lot of hate about wearing socks with flip flops, a lot of stuff on the internet saying it is bad to wear socks with flip flops because it looks stupid, but why ? :s-smilie:


Thanks

Surely using socks is defeating the point of keeping your feet cleaner and fresher, plus it would look hideous.
Do what makes you happy.

I'm laughing so much?!
Flip flops in general are vile imo, if you must wear sandals with socks you can probably get away with nike sliders and socks

I thought something similar, but even with socks I'm sure they will still be comfortable and the noise will not be there either though I would prefer to remain barefoot in flip flops, the noise is just too loud

I can see that you dislike them, lol, but what would disgust you more, with or without socks,

What actually are crocs ? I have heard of them and I read a lot of hate about them but I do not know what they actually are or what they look like,

Regardless, I prefer to stay wearing my flip flops

they are comfortable & do not make weird slapping noises.
