Here in Manhattan there seem to be three standard footwear styles – heels, tennis shoes for the smart people who put their heels on at work, and flip flops. I see plenty of flip flops here at work but Amazon is about as dress down as it gets.
Shoes and socks are only part of it. Socks must be FRESH, that is, CLEAN every day. Wash your feet every day. Massage your feet. Use foot powder – even if you’re a kid.
Feet are more important to keep clean than your teeth. As Gen. Patton once said, “You do not walk on your teeth!”
Ever since seeing a story on TV I wanted to try that dead-foot-skin-eating-fish treatment. As an aside — if I eat some of those fish, is that considered cannibalism? (Or perhaps second-hand cannibalism?)..Me — I’m barefooted whenever possible.
Alix should move to someplace warm when she grows up, but not in a jungle where it’s safest to wear closed-toe shoes/boots. Just her bad luck to be born into a family in the upper Midwest where you need closed-toe shoes & boots at least half the year.

What is wrong with “closed-toe shoes”? They are a lot more dignified-looking than those hideous flip-flop sandals.

I will never understand how any Mother could ever allow their child to wear flip flops to school.

Her toes will cramp up, grow deformed and will require pediatric shoes when she is old and gray.

Don’t like closed toe shoes, either. Don’t wear flip flops, but do wear sandals 99% of the time. I can relate.

Calm down Alix.

A good portion of the world’s population goes barefoot and it’s more of a rebellion against giving up summer then having to wear shoes.
