My brother is probably right that hearing a dorm full of college students walking past his room endless times a day going "flip flip flip" down the hall is quite annoying. I really can't blame his aversion to the raging summer shoe fad.
His feelings against the ever comfortable floppy shoe has not deterred me in the least from wearing and loving my favorite summer slipper by any means.
The thing about my brother's flip floppy issues is that when you warm the summer to a certain degree... he even digs out his long lost pair of flippers. (I know because I saw them this week!)
In real estate flip flops are really not the most professional footwear, but I have to admit to wearing them everywhere. My clients have all seen me in flippy shoes and it isn't likely to change while the weather stays warm.
They are just the best!
From the moment that my feet hit the floor in the morning until I sit at night I have shoes on my feet. It only makes sense to wear the most universal shoe around.
And, yes, all the flippers to the right are mine. I just loaded up at Target. I've managed to wear out two pairs this summer and chose to take advantage of clearance prices.
Anyways, like I was saying... from feeding chickens to weeding my garden to heading to the park or visiting clients my flippies always make sense.The only thing I haven't really mastered is running in them.
If they are dirty I hose them down and cool my feet at the same time. Soak my feet and shoes in the sun for two minutes and everything is ready to go again.
If I head to a client's house it's easy off and easy on with no panic of messing their carpets.
For showings it is the avoidance of removing strappy shoes that take me undo time at the door. I hate getting into a home and spending the whole time my clients are looking taking on and off my shoes. This eases the whole process and lets me move on.
They may not be classy, but my flippers can be worn with shorts, jeans, dresses... just all over universal.
So, if you have an aversion to flippy flops like my brother I am truly sorry. I realize that I'm part of the public walking down the street leaving a "flop flop flop" behind me, but it is for good reason! And, it just works for my business. And, in the end it's no matter. In about a month I'll retire my floppers to the closet and will be digging out my toed and Minnesota winter shoes. I'm just hoping my feet have a nice tan to last the winter!
