I have only been able to wear one pair o "flip flops" in my life. That little thing between the toes just plain irritates. The only pair that was ever comfortable I got in Houston in the mid 70's. They were called "Tiddies" (yes really). The soles were made of two types of rubber, a hard rubber on the bottom and a REALLY soft rubber (latex?) on top. The top layer was about a half inch thick and molded itself to your foot with a little wear. The straps were made of surgical tubing and for some reason did not irritate my toes. I would buy another pair if I could find them.

Old boots, flip flops, and rubber boot. Is this part of your crew? I see the eye man has the flip flops!

Left to right: Staff member 1, staff member 2, Client's rep, local guide (who clearly on this and all the other occasions, didn't want to be photographed).
that's a nice machete he's holding there...
They call them "cane knife" here, being this is a sugar cane growing country (but not up in the mountains where we were surveying), the blade is thin, maybe only 2mm. I think he has reshaped the end of this cane knife so that it can be used for sticking (spearing) wild pigs. He seriously didn't want his face appearing on any photo.
I??ve always preferred slip-ons (easy off and on and don??t get muck in the laces) in tan colour (black in the sun gets unbearably hot) and these Aussie Tredlites were my favourite but they stopped making them maybe 5 years ago. I got wind of that news so bought a couple of pairs in advance, but the rubber soles have perished without them being worn. Cobblers.

I am pretty sure they are still around. I grew up miles from the factory. I wore them when I was younger. I cant stand anything between my toes either. I wear open toed crocs and other sandals.

Thanks, I'll have to order a pair to keep in my camper for those late night trips to let the dogs out.

I like the rubber knee boot/knee shorts look. Very fashion forward.
Now we are having some fun.

I especially like the little "CSI" dots of paint on the inside of your left boot Brad. I'm assuming you're right-handed. I'm a lefty and the paint winds up on the inside of my right boot.
it was dark this morning when I posted the link.Un-hijack attached.
