And your point is? ;)

The old kind are awful and useless. The newer ones would be fine for general sightseeing IMHO.

French branches of Lidl are selling intermediate flip flops at the moment for €4.99 .
Crucial information ! Peter |

flip flops clothes. Every major city has the same fashions. You will see flip flops everywhere but mostly in some neighborhoods. Mine is like keruac's, very ethnic and you will see everything, flipflops, goth, saris. etc.
Paris and London are the same. Yes the dressier the thong the better. Have fun. London is much more casual than Paris. |
It seems that shoes are always a hit on Fodor's. Why not? We all wear them and are very picky about them.

A word of warning. On last years European Odyssey I wore leather flip flop style sandals
By the end of the summer the leather sole had become very smooth which was fine on normal pavements but lethal on stone surfaces and I frequently took them off and walked barefoot when descending steep stone slopes. Take some sand paper with you. ( Pedro Garcia's here is a link for the sartorially inclined. http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/p...912gh_12_f.jpg |
Here's another warning about the hazards of wearing flip flops:

ok - who is that, exactly?
Flip flops cause 200,000 accidents in the UK each year and the cost of treating them is £40m> really??? I'm surprised that 200,000 uk citizens own them - if they do, there's a 100% accident rate! |
If you mean the photo, it's Chelsea Clinton, Hil's and Bill's daughter.
Wonder what the stats are on accidents to wearers of or caused by wearers of 5" stiletto heels? |
oops, silly me.
didn't she get married recently? |
Looks like the Clinton girl is following the fashion of the Material Maiden.

Everybody wears flip-flops everywhere in the world, I think, nowadays. It's like jeans. They sell them in all the stores, I can't believe someone thinks they don't wear them in France.
Those half-Greek or Roman-inspired sandals aren't some French thing, they are currently trendy in lots of places, including the US. I think they are stupid (a sandal that is like a shoe so not as comfortable or casual), but fashion isn't always logical. You'll see them in all the stores and fashion magazines in US and Europe. |
