Picture this, it's about 32 degrees out with snow on the ground and I am trecking through the white bliss of the car rider parking lot (in Sperry's) when I look down and see none other than...flip flops. Now, I love wearing flip flops in the summer time just as much as the next girl, but I question those who choose to wear them when there is SNOW ON THE GROUND! Surely, for goodness sakes, you can find a pair of shoes to wear IN THE WINTER TIME which will cover your feet? When you are wearing a sweat shirt and jeans it is obvious that you are WELL aware that it is winter. Just because you think they are comfortable does not mean that they are appropriate to wear ALL YEAR LONG! Even though I love wearing my UGG boots, it would not make sense for me to wear them when it is 90 degrees in the middle of August now would it? No, I didn't think so. What on Earth are you thinking?
Oh, so you're thinking you don't know shoes to wear? Here's a few suggestions:
1)Sperry's (They don't have to be real Sperry's, but they are obviously in style. Because your jeans most likely cover the tops of them you can also wear a nice pair of warm socks.)
2)UGG boots (Again, they do not have to be UGG boots, but again, they are obviously in style, who cares what that guy says that sits next to you in your Animal Science class says, and once again, they keep your feet warm, considering it is WINTER and all.)
3)Moccasins (These fur filled shoes can be found at many stores this winter. They are both warm and stylish, and because they come in many colors, just like those flip flops you seem to be in love with, they can be worn with almost anything.) 4)Ballet Flats (Even though these aren't the warmest shoes out there, they are again very stylish, colorful, and depending on the brand, very comfortable.)
5)Tennis shoes (Tennis shoes come in all colors and styles and many of todays modern twists on the classic Converse tennis shoe have become very popular.)
Now, I would venture to say that you have at least one pair of one of the above listed in your closet that you could wear IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER other than your beloved flip flops. And if you're not convinced to change your ways because of my "fashion" reasons, maybe you should consider a couple of the health benefits of wearing shoes other than flip flops IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.
1)Flip Flops have no arch support, which could cause permanent damage to your feet and possibly to your back. You are a high school student and I know that like every other high school student you have the stresses of homework, relationships, and more clubs than you can handle on your shoulders already, so give your feet a rest.
2)Walking through the snow with flip flops on for a long period of time could result in frost bitten feet. Enough Said.
