jarrett,

I'm with you! I love flip flops and sandals! Years ago I used to love the thick white sweat socks you wear with sneakers....I can't even look at them now without getting antsy. I describe it to people (and they don't get it by the way but the description makes perfect sense to me) as feeling claustrophobic in socks and shoes...my feet just want to be free and unencumbered!
