Should Men Wear Sandals?
There is significant debate about whether it is OK for a man to sport sandals. Some of the worlds most infamous individuals such as Julius Caesar, Gandhi, and Jesus Christ wore this somewhat controversial footwear. But why are there such harsh opinions about men wearing sandals? Are sandals considered feminine footwear? Are they physically unappealing? Are they just plain out of style? The fact is, these Jesus-Walkers so many of us covet are comfortable, popular, low maintenance, and most importantly they don’t sink too deep of holes in our pockets.
Here at the Campus Throne, we believe that with sandals, as with most things, are best used in moderation. That being said, here are some guidelines to consider while you’re “on a boat wearing flippy floppies”.
DO:
- For starters, take care of your sandals. A dirty, broken down, stench reeking sandal is a recipe for footwear disaster.
- Additionally, it is just as important to wash your feet…Don’t be an asshole. Get that dirt out from under your toenails and clip them while you’re at it. You can’t properly represent your stompers successfully unless you’ve taken care of your feet hygiene.
- Wear sandals that highlight or compliment your clothing. If the outfit calls or suits wearing Jesus Kicks, go right ahead. If not…don’t!
DO NOT:
- Don’t be that guy. And by that, I mean don’t be the guy that incessantly wears flip flops and whose sole existence seemingly revolves around wearing flip flops anywhere. Remember the key is to wear sandals in moderation.
- Don’t forget that your feet are always visible. Seeing as they aren’t the most attractive attributes of the human anatomy, the least you can do is keep them clean and presentable.
- Finally, don’t wear sandals that are crusty, sweat stained, or on its last step…literally.
OVERALL
Sandals can be pretty lame at times, not going to lie. At the same time, we all hate that douche that wears Jordans to a pool party or beach. If sandals are good enough for King Leonidas, they’re good enough for us…at the right time, though. Madness? These are sandals!
