Go figure. I never would have believed that. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Put plainly, they're hell on your back due to lack of proper arch support.

They sure are popular, though. Must have been 50 different pairs on sale at the shoe store this afternoon. (all different colors, and ornaments on the toe straps). Not a pretty sight to the "real" heel lover.

They are a fad. Most places they're pretty inexpensive. When I was growing up, they were called thongs. Now they make bright colors, add designs to them, advertise them, call them flip-flops: the latest fashion trend, and they sell like hotcakes and it seems like every other person is wearing them. That's great marketing on a cheap product that we now find is not good for you to wear. How about that?

You're right, they are not a fad, they are a monster! What started out something simple and inexpensive (few colors to choose) is now flooding the the market as I described above. No, where I live it is the same a s you described. Fad was the wrong choice of word in this case.

I have a friend who lives in Paris who came to visit me. We went out for the day.. she could not believe the number of people men and women wearing "beach shoes"! I told her that she should not say that too loud as i could not vouch for her safety.
We also went to a wedding MORE OF THEM THERE TOO!!" she asked me if "americans work"? I asked her what did she mean.. she went on to tell me that she has never seen so many beach shoes- but not at the beach! she has seen them at work sites,weddings, parties, "I would never wear such silly shoes in france". I just think they are ugly and serve no purpose except at the beach.. and that might be a stretch too..
