- FuryOfThor, on 06/24/2008, -4/+32"Flip-flops are named for the sound they make when you walk — flip, flop, flip, flop — but they could have been called ouch-umphs, the sound you'll make after wearing them all the time."
Minus five. - Dotcommer, on 06/25/2008, -2/+26***** crocs. Some of the gayest shoes i've ever seen. Every group of tourists out there in the world usually has a pair amongst them.
- BJLStorm, on 06/25/2008, -16/+38Waiting for the pro-Obama, anti-McCain comment...
Not seeing one.
FLIP FLOPPING PEOPLE LIKE MCCAIN ARE BAD FOR AMERICA. OBAMA 08!
There, that's better. - EatingPie, on 06/24/2008, -6/+24I still call them "thongs" because that was their original name -- and they still use it in Australia.
I wear them all the time. My brand of choice is Flojos, which clock in at about $8.00 a pair. Most brands actually try to implement better support and design, and these cost starting at $20.00 per pair. The researchers do not list the brands involved in the study, but I suspect some are much better than others.

- Dotcommer, on 06/25/2008, -1/+15masturbating.
- str1fe, on 06/25/2008, -0/+14I recently got into a huge discussion about that with an Aussie friend and a few American friends. This Aussie friend also happens to be a girl, so she has fun saying things like "I'll post a picture of myself in my thongs." The confusion among the rest of the people was hilarious.
- iDiggIt42, on 06/25/2008, -0/+13Think of all those pesticides.
- BJLStorm, on 06/25/2008, -1/+13Fruit?
- TheAtomicMoose, on 06/25/2008, -2/+14Why did you subtract pie from your comment?
- Sairynn, on 06/25/2008, -1/+12You might want to watch how you use the word "gook".
- Bukowsky, on 06/24/2008, -1/+11not to mention that they give you some wicked tan-lines on your feet. That's the worst.
- moo2u2, on 06/25/2008, -1/+11thongs FTW, go Australia!
- McBadass, on 06/25/2008, -0/+10
Threesomes - Fishnchipsman, on 06/25/2008, -3/+12i dont care what they say
i live at the beach and im still guna wear them - badjoke, on 06/25/2008, -1/+9That's literary gold.
- spoonchucks, on 06/25/2008, -0/+8In all seriousness, is there ONE McCain supporter on digg?
You know, there's probably hundreds, but they're trying to avoid the freakin lynch mob. - inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+8Society for Barefoot Living?
I smell a conspiracy, or maybe it's just their feet. - Armageddon3k, on 06/25/2008, -1/+8No, I think it was a nice punch line.
- Demented05, on 06/25/2008, -0/+6Quality flip flops like Reefs or Rainbow flip flops (cost anywhere from $30-$60) provide actual arch support. They are incredibly better for your feet than the cheap completely flat ones. In complete seriousness if you wear those Old Navy $2 flip flops for long enough then you will be looking at problems like plantar fasciitis which are in no way fun. If you wear flip flops often get the nicer ones that have arch supports or enjoy your trips to the podiatrist before you turn thirty.
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4Flip flops with kittens for support at the heel?
- fxu1989, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4Everything in excess is bad for you. Even if it's "healthy"
and what the ***** is this? CAPTCHA? In my digg? - kefland, on 06/25/2008, -4/+8yeah, well. I'm not going to stop wearing them because of some stupid digg story... sorry. I'm from SoCal old habits die hard.
- winmywii, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4I wear them everywhere and I live nowhere near the beach. I'm just too lazy to put my shoes on.
- thebassmaster, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4eww! i've got gook on my feet!
- FunnyBunnyBo, on 06/25/2008, -1/+4I've cut myself with glass 100 times. It's ALL the glass's fault!
Whatever, you're just clumsy. - Goombellaofgoom, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3Eeew. Please wash your hands first, or use your regular fingers instead.
- jbrand45, on 06/25/2008, -3/+6Hmm yes, all valid points I'm sure . . . but HERE is the real reason flip-flops are bad for you:
http://www.lamanaphotography.com/walmart2.htm - ladyj007, on 06/24/2008, -6/+9If you read the article it mentions hookworms, In many 3 rd world countries its really not recommended to go barefoot nor wear flip flops. There are many parasites one can get thru the feet (yuck). As well here in NYC and this is how I know it summer, all women wear flip flops. Now I like the flops but just for being local near the house or beach not the streets. NYC not for nothing has a lot of gook; tons of people spit and god knows what else on the street. So for any lady reading this in the NYC area, reconsider wearing the flips. Plus your toes get all dirty and stuff..eww.

- algorhythmix, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3Comment of the day !!
- HappyScrappy, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3I had the exact problem this describes. I had to scrunch my toes and it was causing my feet and calves to become very sore.
I switched to sandals with velcro straps and now I'm fine. - cheezerman, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3http://nymag.com/health/features/46213/
Good article about the health effects of shoes in general.
I have several family members who are in podiatry, and while they all will agree that shoes are harmful to your posture, bone structure, gait, etc, they utterly refuse to admit that barefooting might be better.
They walk around the house in full laced shoes with orthotics, and don't allow their children to play outside barefoot!
Silly Podiatrists. - Chainheart, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3Eating bean dip with your bare *****' fingers
- MrBahaw, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2this is puzzling because millions of people wear flip flops and are fine
- Heoo, on 06/25/2008, -2/+4As a Brazilian, I reject that research. I love my Havaianas. They feel comfortable to me, and I enjoy wearing them in hot days where I would rather not wear shoes.
Besides, draw the line somewhere! Why are there people researching flip flops instead of cancer or HIV? I mean, really... - jury, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Try tell that to the general populace of Hawai'i
good luck..haha - munna80, on 06/25/2008, -1/+3ewwww....oh my god!! My toes are dirty!! Oh my god!! You Know? ewww!!
And lady, for your info, parasites do not live only in 3rd world countries..... - luke374, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Dammit ... I live in Phoenix, flip flops are more common than shoes here.
- duggdowncatisad, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Hey at least they're not wearing crocks, those things are fugly
- MScrip, on 06/25/2008, -2/+4Too bad everyone loves a $40 pair of Rainbows... the most popular sandal ever. I can't walk 5 feet without seeing a dozen pairs of Rainbows.
http://www.rainbowsandals.com/ - BradHAWK, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2My grandfather called them "goddamnit shoes".
- ThaDRD, on 06/25/2008, -2/+4I hate flip-flops...nothing like looking at some dude's gross ass feet while I am waiting in line at the local sub shop. Put some shoes on you ***** gross bastard.
- skratchnerd, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2I was thinking the same exact thing. It took me a second to understand what was supposed to be conveyed.
- kansai22, on 06/25/2008, -1/+3MC Cain doesnt mind getting Gook on his shoes. Infact:
John MC Cain has special boots he likes to call Gook stompin boots.
" I hate the Gooks I'll hate them as long as I live" - John MC Cain - dstz, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2"Even better for you feet: sit on Digg all day and don't walk around at all!"
Your feet muscles will become terribly weak if you do that.
What's good, actually, is walking or running in proper shoes. - kansai22, on 06/25/2008, -1/+3Real men don't wear flip flops anyway unless on the beach.
What are you going to do if a baby is trapped in a burning building tell the mother sorry I cant help I have on flip flops. - usafdave, on 06/25/2008, -1/+3Jesus... flip-flops now? Really? Y'know what... I'm going to defer to my default retort that I give whenever someone gives me ***** for pulling back on a delicious cigar, eating red meat, etc... : "Out of spite, I am going to live longer than you"
- phunlee, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2War Eagle. But, I've been wearing them for years. I need a new pair soon.
