    Well, my mom will be happy to hear how popular flip flops are. I personally can't stand flip flops. Lol. I'm talking about the cheap plastic ones that make the sound when you walk.

    I've been hitting clearance sales and getting some great deals on shoes. I got a pair of $90 sandals for $35! They are navy blue and strappy, and here they are!

    I don't find it trashy, just a misappropriation of effort.

    It is a superb way too make your co-females jelly though. Men obviously could not notice painted toe nails or a pedicure nor a manicure if it was shoved up their faces. In fact, men could not care less. Each time I pass by a nail salon and see all the girls lining up to get that useless treatment I just scratch my head wondering what is wrong with them lol.

    It is obviously done solely because of personal preference and - to a certain degree - to earn status within the own in-group. :p

    They notice shoes though! I'm sure if you had gnarly gross toenails, then they would notice and be like "ewww." :D

    Up here there are not too many weeks of the year that allows you to show your toes anyways. Even during summer, 99% of the girls my age wear those friggen white Converse shoes and it annoys the hell out of me. Comfort first, I suppose. But, I would not mind seeing more heels. :p

    When I see painted toenails, I think of someone like this.

    I have a pair like this too, and they are also Franco Sarto, but they don't have the ankle strap. They are just slip on shoes that are pink and white with a little pink bow. Really cute for summer and they look really good with Capri pants or a skirt.

    Oops, forgot the picture! :D

    Well, I don't know about that. I think most girls and women who wear sandals in the summer paint their nails even if it's just with clear polish because they just look nicer.

    100% biological; the other day, my 5 year old cousin went full psycho because she was not allowed to play with nail polish. :laughing:

    Kids are kind of little psychos whenever they don't get their own way! :laughing: My cousin's daughter is the same. If there is an imperfection when mom does her nails, she freaks out. Her nails have to be perfect.

    I wonder how you could even wear shoes with toenails that long? They must hurt if you get them snagged on something.

    You just made me think of that one scene from Black Swan that I thought I had repressed. :tears:

    Thanks a lot.

    Without actually counting my shoes, that seems to be right. Love my crocs and the flip flops.

    You wear sandals or flip flops, of course.
    Looking at the fingernails makes me wonder how she takes care of ...bathroom business.

    You don't own a pair of Kino's yet. I will give you time and you will own a pair.

    I myself have I realized just 4 pairs of shoes.

    - a pair of combat/hiking boots
    - a brown and black pair of dress shoes
    - one pair of sneaks.

    Now my wife ( and I do encourage her) she has a modest id say 50 pairs. I even go with her to shop them. It just makes her so happy to model shoes and It makes me happy when shes happy. I don't understand the preoccupation but I don't need too.

    Funny story, we were at a work like event or whatever and I'm standing there chatting up some of her work peers, keep in mind I look like I escaped from that TV show prison break. Even in a suit I look like an escaped convict. But..... I glance down at this girls
    Shoes... And I said wow.. Your shoes are stunning. Louis Vuittons right? Of course they are.

    4 people went silent and stared at me.. and I just said one moment please.. I opened my wallet and took someone's random business card and tore it and said. That was my man card.

    My wife was thrilled. Sigh.
