For sandals I need something like the Birkenstock design or a Teva design with a back strap. Surf shoes work too.
Exact opposite. I hate shoes. View them as a necessary evil and wear them only when I have to. Tried wearing Birks for awhile but after my second pair, decided they were too expen$ive for a college student working 20-ish hours a week. Plus, by then slipper (aka “flip-flops”) technology and style had grown leaps and bounds so went back to wearing them for school and work. Additionally, the local custom is to take off one’s footwear when entering someone’s house so obviously much easier to remove slippers than shoes.
