Here’s a great post for those of you who also cannot wear those damn thong-style flip-flops. Like this blogger, I have tried them and cannot walk more than 50 feet without being in pain.
By the way, francophone quebecois have great names for flip-flops and these names vary according to different regions. In Quebec City, we called them skitounes. I think they call them babouches around Montreal. If you remember more names for them, let me know.
