Extra-Special Rubber Slippers?

I live in the United States, and flip flops have been around all my life. I own a lot of them, but they aren't like a big deal because they've been around for so long. But....when summer comes around, you can guarantee that at least 70% of people are wearing them. They're just old faithfuls where I live lol. About a year or two ago, these things calles "crocs" kind of broke. Everyone had them for a while, but they're not as popular as flip flops. Enjoy your flip flops=)

45 pairs!?!?! I haven't had bought that many in my life! Do you really wear them all or most of them are only for a showcase in your life? Well, I dont' use flipflot these days!

WOW, that's a lot of flip flops! I wish I have that many too.. but because I'm a mommy, I only have two branded and the rest are locally made, I love it because its comfortable.. My children has one pair each of branded flops and they love it very much! :)

I am not really that crazy about flip flops... because i can only wear them when it is not very hot... i have this medical condition call hyperhidrosis... so my feet and hands tend to sweat a lot... especially during extreme hot and humid weather... so flip flops are a no no for me...

45 pairs! wow! That's a lot! You know, i should ask the same question too. Is it popular in other countries or people from the Philippines just got the fever within the region? lol! Well i think it's pretty expensive i mean for daily use. Almost 10x depending on the style and release. Well i'm not really loyal but i do prefer Islander because it's quite sturdy. lol! I'm not sure if I'd go for Havaianas because they're just too expensive and i don't think it fits my rugged lifestyle. It's worth a good pair of Pony sneakers!

I don't think flip flops are a huge thing in other countries. It is only really popular in tropical countries like the Philippines. Those in China or New york or Canada don't wear slippers all year round. Like you, I was a flip flop addict to the point that I buy a pair of flip flops once a week. It does not matter to me what the brand is, as long as I find the design cute. Now, I also stopped buying flip flops already since I realized I had way too many pairs. Currently I have around 40 pairs of flip flops.

I'm also from the Philippines so I can't answer your main question :) However, I do think you're over the top when it comes to this "flip flop" addiction. I have many friends who love wearing flip flops better than rubber shoes or sandals (I was one of those people back in college). However, 45 pairs sure is A LOT! I don't think I know anyone who owns more than 10 pairs! When I was in my "flip flops" phase, I only had 2 pairs - when one of them is over used, I buy a new pair but get rid of the old one. Also, I don't buy the uber cheap ones because they don't last longs. Especially not with me who walks around all day :D Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I think flip flops are popular all over the world. You see them a lot in places like Florida and Hawaii. I just have one pair right now. They don't last very long. They tear up very easily with me. The pair I have right now have sequins and flowers all over them. I've lost several sequins, though. Kathy.

i love flip flops as well, but i guess not as expensive as you are having my friend. hehehe but i wish i could own one or two. hopefully my friend. but i have no savings for that one yet but i love its kind and quality. maybe soon i could have it. wish me luck my friend. lol! thanks friend jhelai
