I think "real men" wear whatever the heck they want without much regard for fashion or what others may think. What about you?

lol, I wear them 90% of the time when not working. Problem is, you can't fight in them. But I'm a lover, not a fighter :aok
-
Real men don't listen to DMX.
-
real men go bare foot, but sometimes in the winter we wear moccasins.
-
ya. you live on the emerald coast and wear shoes and boots, see how far that gets ya.
flip flops are a way of life.
-
Yes...Real men do wear sandals...Especially "reef" sandals with bottle opener @ bottom =)
-
Topsiders. They are 10x more comfortable, and are functionable when you need them.
-
Real men don't wear flip flops. They wear amphibious urban transport devices which are secured with tactical foot restraint straps.
I prefer sandals over flipflops, myself.
-
Unless you are engaged in some activity involving water or sand, flip flops do indeed make you look less manly, if not flat-out gay. Glad to see someone agrees with me. Flip flops are not cool on men, despite whatever gayness you read in your trendy magazines. At best they make you look like a slob, at worst they make you look like a poofter.
This about sums it up: "Did Ronald Reagan or John Wayne ever wear man sandals? I doubt it."

Like Chairboy I prefer the new generation of sandals:

Flip-flops... or jandals (what we call them in NZ) are prolific here. But from a practical point of view the suck, especially on the beach, rocks, or in the water.
-
Sandals on men only are cool if they are Roman soilders or Jesus.

Everything in its own time and place ... flipflops are smart and practical on the beach, in many other places where temperature is above 80 degrees, and around the house.
But in cold weather and on soldiers' feet goose steppin' at the May Day parade ...
-
I'm pretty sure the simple discussion of footwear leaves all of you out of the "real men" catagory.
-
Wait a minute ... you mean you don't have a closet dedicated totally to your shoes?

Only a pimp or a studmuffin from a cheap New Orleans ho house would wear flip flops........Oh wait. thats pearl handled revolvers
Still.. Same holds true.
I dont and wont wear flip flops or sandels.
I'll wear either boots, hikingshoes/sneakers or go barefoot.
Even to the beach.
The closes I'll come is watershoes .
but flipflops or sandels. No friggen way.
Always hated both even when I was a kid my mother would have to force me to wear either.
then I only would wear em till I was out of her sight
-
I wear them because their warm AND functional ;)

I used to hate sandals, but they are the only option at the beach. Most of the beaches in our area have shellfish, their shells can be quite sharp so you must wear something. When I kayak I often exit onto sharp rocks or beaches with sharp hazards as well. Theres also the danger in shallow water of stepping on something nasty.
You'd look a right nutcase wearing boots in such circumstances :)
-
Soldiers don't wear sandals in the water! Boots will do juuuust fine. I'm with Drediock on this one.
-
Real men wear boots. Men should also only have the bare minimum of shoes in the closet and that number should be less than 5 for any type of shoe.
My closet has the following:
1 pair Steele Toe Military work boots
1 pair Uniform Dress shoes
1 pair Civilian Dress shoes
1 pair of sneakers (Reeboks)
1 pair Martial Arts shoes
1 pair hiking boots
3 pairs of cowboy boots (work, casual, and python skin)
2 pairs combat boots (desert and jungle)
1 pair flip flops for use in the shower at the gym.
Of course this is my humble redneck opinion:D

That's because neither ever went to boot camp. You think I'm setting a barefoot in a community shower, you're crazy.
-
I wear my birks (no, I'm not a hippie) pretty much any time I'm not going out specifically to get laid. And winter... birks + snow = cold feet. Maybe 'real men' don't wear birks, but I'll tell ya this... if you give me too much **** about it, I'll probably take a swing at ya. I also wear track pants to most of my classes. So what?
-
ok, maybe i wear then at the beach, but that doesn't mean i've changed my position
:noid
-
I never wear em too much crud gets on my feet

That'd be pretty emasculating, getting hit by a guy wearing Birkenstocks.
And by "take a swing" you do mean punch, right? From a guy wearing Birkenstocks I'd more expect a slap or a swinging man-purse. :D

:rofl Tarmac
-
I have this old pair of "yard work" shoes that have been basically worn out, they now appear to be a pair of flip flops, does this count ? lol
-
I'm picturing the running forward windmill arm kinda swing.
-
I have 3 pairs of Ecco sandals. I wear nothing but those for 4-5 months of the year unless im somewere that i can walk barefoot.

Ill wear watershoes/socks on such occasions now.

Sleeveless Tshirt, Cut off Shorts and a pair of black worn engineers boots

ahaha.. ya, I definitely mean punch :lol emasculating if it were a fairy in the birks, yes... with me in the birks, it shouldn't be.. I'm a reasonably big guy :aok
maybe if I'm wearing a pink shirt AND birks.....

What about soldiers in the desert? :p

Real men could care less about what others think about what they wear and how masculine clothing or shoes make them look. Real (straight) men don’t really even notice what other men wear. Real men wear things that are: comfortable, warm or cool, dry, durable, cheap.
Personally, I’ve got a pair of pumps to go with every outfit in my walk in closet.

DESERT != BEACH
(Book of Duh, Chapter 1)
...and I wear Teva sandals all summer, even on the boat, even at the beach, oh my! And I don't give a flip what you boots-on-the-beach, sleeveless t-shirt wearing, mullet sporting, DMX-listening goobers think.
QUAH!

Pretty much sums up how I feel. Well, except for the pumps part. ;)
This brings up another question. Why would a straight guy want fashion advice from those guys on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? What do gay men know about attire that attracts women or impresses other straight men? If you want fashion advice in this regard shouldn't you ask it of a women or straight man?

Do 'Real Men' Wear Flip-Flops?
Answer: Yes.
RB Alexander out of the boot Updated 10/16/06
Alexander, Shaun RB SEA Grandmaster Phucktards
News: Instead of a walking boot protecting his broken left foot, Shaun Alexander was wearing flip-flops on Monday. "Walking around in flip-flops is a good thing," the league MVP said with a beaming smile on Monday. And instead of doctors initially warning him the Seahawks running back he may be out until December, they gave Alexander his best news yet. The bone he cracked on Sept. 24 showed "very, very great" healing in X-rays Monday, according to Alexander. "Pain is gone," Alexander said

Flip flops are for the beach. I don't need them to take showers, however, I could see the necessity in a public restroom/shower setting. Other than that, you're gay.

once the still pumping heart is harvested and held before victim, the ears, along with other functions will cease to be useful. i was simply mentioning the ears to illustrate a point.
