Gotta go... '50s called... 1850s.

Because you see it on the street doesn't mean it's not inappropriate there too.

I love living in the 1850's with my mid thigh length shorts.

Excellent; I'll be so much more comfortable in my Red Hot Chili Peppers one-sock outfit for my next TATL.

As long as you aren't flashing your naked feet....;)

Can't say I agree with this. They are footwear.

Don't wear flip flops but I bet you don't have a problem with any women's footwear that shows off most of the foot...

Goes both ways,

I always wonder what would happen to the flip flop folks in the event of an emergency...If the plane is on fire or if there are sharp pieces of metal (or whatever), I certainly would not want to be maneuvering through that mess in flip flops. It is just not a very smart idea, IMO.

I second that.

I agree too.

It should be merged with my thread about the woman in the lounge pic.

I always wonder what they do when their inbound flight is delayed and now there's 20 minutes to catch the last connecting flight.

Just to check, are you counting flip-flops separately from sandals? I can guarantee you my sandals are more robust than most shoes aboard most aircraft. (I'll keep in mind to make my feet extra grimy in future though.)

There's a whole lot of footwear that isn't going to be particularly protective during a bad evacuation.

That said, anyone who removes footwear during a flight will be in an even worse situation, I think. Better to have flip-flops to slide your feet into than to be trying to get your feet into a regular pair of lace-up shoes or tight ladies' shoes while you're seat-belted in - or while everyone is trying to evacuate.

I have sprinted in flip-flops and even abandoned the flip-flops to sprint barefoot when I got a 'flat'.

It was much easier than trying to spring in a pair of Birkenstocks. It was much much easier than trying to sprint in a pair of heels.

YMMV. ;)
