I walked quite far in Maine in my flip flops last weekend but this morning in the rain fell down some wet steps and onto both knees. It's the shoes that kill me. Not even a heel really. :(

Flip-flops worn for 2 weeks in Tuscany, Rome and Paris - no mishaps and no sore feet!

I'm glad you were lucky and didn't have any mishaps with your feet. Believe me though, once you are unlucky you will never wear the flip flops again.

Just returned from month long European vacation where we must have logged a million miles walking, and all of it done in Crocs-either my flip flops style or the Cleo Croc - couldn't have done it in any other shoe - my Keens @ $110.00 only got worn once , the rest of the time it was the 3 pairs of Crocs-my legs were never tired, my feet never ached and I couldn't have been happier. I am 54 yrs. old, btw, and always dressed casual but chic and the shoes were dead on. And my feet were not ever dirty as some had mentioned, I wear them all the time. just fyi - Leslie

Anoher flip-flop fan here, although not all flip-flps are created equal. I spent two weeks in Rome, Florence and Venice and wore my Merrell flip-flops all over. They have great support, plenty of padding and are very attractive. I wore them with skirts and casual and dress pants.

We walked an avareage of 10 miles a day (that's how we ate so much and didn't gain a pound!)and I never had sore feet, never slipped, even while climbng steep hills and walking over cobblestones, and my feet were never dirty enough so that anyone would notice, except for the day we were at the forum. Even then they weren't disgustingly dirty, just dusty.
