STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!! Men shouldn't wear sandals anywhere (well...maybe the beach....and I guess I can accept "shower sandals" for anti-bacteria reasons....) - but other than that - men shouldn't wear sandals!!!
I don't want to see your toes (btw wearing socks w/ sandals doesn't satisfy my complaint)! I don't want to smell your feet either! There has never been a sandle EVER made that looks acceptable on a guys foot - just don't do it!
If you're concerned about "keeping cool", then change your shoes and put on a different pair of socks, sit down and drink some water. If you're that out of shape or that close to heat-stroke, then I'm going to suggest that you've got bigger health problems and wearing sandals will not come close to solving them.
(Don't even get me started on the Northwestern Women's Field Hockey team wearing "flip-flops" to the White House last Spring......)
If I were the assignor of every basketball game ever played on earth, I would NEVER hire anyone wearing sandals!
(thanks for letting me vent - I feel better now.....
