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!

Awww...someone needs a hug. C'mon now, everyone give jeffpea a well-deserved group-hug.
Now, on some levels, sandals are mis-used. Sandals and socks? What are you thinking? Sandals and long pants - should get you voted off the island immediately. Flip-flops at the White House? Very crass - someone should've told them ahead of time. I used to think sandals were part of a "lifestyle" as well, but now they're just comfortable. No different than wearing shorts in the summertime. There are times and places where shorts should not be worn, and there are times and places sandals should not be worn. There are also different types of sandals, dressy and casual, just as there are different types of shorts. Each one has their time and place.
Geeze, I must be auditioning for a spot on Queer Eye.
