When you go on a walk will you wear flip flops or do you always wear shoes?
I always wear my walking shoes for my morning walk but in the afternoon and evening i will wear my flip flops a lot of the time.
I guess i am too lazy to put my shoes on but i probably should as when i walk in them too much i feel like my feet get sore and they don't get that way if i am wearing my shoes.

I always wear shoes when I go walking they are more comfy compared to flip flops in my opinion plus I dont like things inbetween my toes.

For some reason I am always in flip flops . And I have had my fair share of rocks and dirt that will get in my way . Can be such a pain , but I love my flip flops way too much . If i lived on a beach i would never be in shoes.

All during the summer time I wear flip flops even when i call myself taking a walk for exercise. But in the winter time I take major power walks to shed all the holiday pounds and then by summer I be ok enough to take just a slight stroll in flip flops yay me!!

Though I am allowed somewhat casual wear to work at my children's school, I would not wear flip flops there. I do have to do a lot of walking or even running in an emergency or something that I need something that will not be flopping all over the place. I have gone in with sandals that have heel support but that is it. I am not really a big fan of flip flops that don't have built in arches as I do find then hard on the feet. I am glad to see that more and more styles of them now do have the arches.

Hey hey In the summer I do all my walking in my flip flops . When I take longer walks they really seem to bother my feet . It just seems like such a pain to put on socks and tennis shoes to go for a walk . When I do the track it is a must though I think i could get more speed and a work out with walking shoes .

I wear flip flops almost all the time in the Summer! I can wear them if I'm only going for a short walk, but when I go for long walks I usually wear shoes. Sometimes I forget, but my feet only really hurt if I'm walking up hills in flip flops. I also change out of flip flops when its raining, or looks like it is going to rain, I can't stand my feet getting wet while I'm walking.

I have worn my flip flops to go for a walk in. Once I even walked through a small part of the woods with them on. I love wearing flip flops they are so fun to wear. I even wore them when I was playing frizbee, though I think i took the flip flops off.

I always wear walking shoes when taking a walk and I like to take long walks where I can stretch my legs. I do a lot of sitting down when I'm on my computer and sometimes I feel that I don't have a good blood circulation going. Then I go take a long brisk walk.

I wear flip flops when I go out and go to the store, but if I am planning on walking a long distance I will put some other shoes on. I made the mistake of wearing flip flops when I went to an antique mall with my sister and mother a few weeks ago and I paid for it the next day. My ankle hurt like crazy.

I like to wear flip flops. i pretty much live in them in the summertime. I only wear crocs if I cant find them. I like to be comfortable in the summertime and often like to go barefoot. I mostly confine my barefoot walking to the house. I think I would sorely regret if I wanted to walk out on to the road or even the driveway without the
flip flops.

Unless I am walking on hot sand I would not wear flip flops for a walk. I hate flip flops. Everytime I have ever worn them I have stubbed my big toe about a million times, and that hurts. They are just too clunky for me. My mom used to make me wear them when I was a kid, and I would always hurt myself. Hot sand is all they are good for.

Last weekend I was in a hospital emergency room waiting room for a few hours and I noticed most of the women who came in there were wearing flip flops. I myself would never wear them beyond my own property because I don't think they're substantial enough. I wear them around the house, the backyard, and across the street to the mailbox but that's about it.

Not me, no. I need more protection on my feet than that. Flip flops can split and break. Those are around the house shoes. Tennis and crocs are fine.

I wore them all my life even though I was supposed to wear orthopedic shoes and now I'm paying for it! But they're so comfortable, I still wear them but can't walk far. It's not the flips' fault, it's my feet. They feel so good!

I use it every day in summer and it is almost the only shoe that i want to wear in the hot season. I don't usually go out for a long time except working, so i wear flip flops all the day.

It depends. If it's a long walk, definently my sneakers. But if it's a short walk like walking around with my dog in the dog park, I wear my flip flops. But the flip flops I wear, they aren't the thongs with the thing that goes in between your toes, THOSE hurt! I always get huge blisters with those so I don't wear those anymore.
