SANDAL ETIQUETTE

[pokerchick66]

The Open-Toed Shoe Pledge

As a member of the Threadhead Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.

I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.

I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go to my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 or $20 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

lol, I know! Isn't that gross? I loved the one about shave your big toe.

Tan feet look good, too. They should have included that in the rules.

Well the sun isn't shining up here very bright this time of year!! I will see what I can do.

Get that Jergens glow moisturizer. My skin gets whiter than copy paper in the winter and that stuff at least covers up the blueness of my veins.

but sweat/moisture and rubbing of shoe straps will remove your glow,
i had some odd lines from my r##n boots last year.

Very nice advice, but kinda like telling women we can't wear a sleveless shirt if our arms are old & starting to grow wings. Sorry, I do the best I can to pedicure & groom my old & injured toes. But I'm not letting old ugly toes or missing toenails prevent my feet from being happy & dancing in comfortable sandals. If you don't like my toes, don' look at em.

Or maybe I should just stick with the ruby slippers.

No worries, mate! I guess I should have posted that this was meant in humor and in no way should this be taken seriously. lol, I figured the lovely picture was a dead giveaway. Let those feet frolic and be happy, Glinda!

Hey Glinda - this is totally off topic, but got a little busy this week - i'll be picking up the brass passes next week - just didn't want you to worry :)

Thanks MGB! No worries.

I loved the post!!! Where did you get this or do you have more time on your feet than you should. By the way my loss of weight coupled with being 50 has made my arms sway a bit but FEET, they can always look great...the last to go:p

lmao, too funny, Belle! My ex-boss from New Orleans sent it to me.

Hey, I'm only 40 and I got some action going on with the arms, too, lol. As far as the tan feet go, I haven't started working on my tan at all yet! I need to start doing it soon, though. I only have four weekends left. :eek:

[Jada]

I promise to follow all the rules, but no matter what ya do, you will probably end up with "Walmart" feet at the end of the day at Fest. Nasty old, dirty, gritty feet.

My results said:

YOU LOVE YOUR FEET, and it shows, you probably have a foot fetish or something, or you could be falsely proud of your feet... either way your weird...

[Corona]

but sometimes only the big toe needs to be touched up?
i don't think i can give that up.
roflmao!! That was my exact thought when I read that...the big toe bites the dust before the others.....nope, I ain't giving that up either!! Stand firm Barb!!

[Belle]

If mine don't have painting or imbellishments on them I so what most sane women do, paint over the big ones and the one next to it if it needs it, not enough time to do the whole pedicure all the time. We are busy ladies you know but the tootsies need to look good!!!

[stlbarb]

that's why i wear dark toenail polish, like a burgandy, it helps hide the dirt.

fore some reason my feet are always the dirtiest. i think its a combo of the sunscreen i use and that i must kick dust when i walk.

reminds me: don't forget to sunscreen your feet!

Have you ever had a pedicure? My mom got me one for Christmas last year and it was DIVINE. Sigh, I could go for one right now.

I'm with you, Glinda dear. To h*ll with you if you don't like my feet. When you get to my age (and girth) sometimes you just don't care...;)

Also, no matter how many dress sizes I may go up, my feet tend to stay the same. Hence, my shoe fetish...

[Zydekitten]

lol, I know! Isn't that gross? I loved the one about shave your big toe.

Well, tan feet would look weird on me - as the rest of me is redhead pale . . . ;)

[Zydekitten]

That was a GREAT pledge and I happily take it!! Especially pledge item 1 - it drives me crazy when I see chicks' feet exploding out of/over their sandals . . . ick, if you can't get shoes that fit, don't get 'em! (Yes, no matter how much on sale they are)

I do get regular pedis, it's the one real pampering thing I do for me and it's important - no matter how busy . . . gotsta have my tootsies done! Thus, I got the same foot fetish result as Tchipchipitoulas ;)

Now, the manicure is a WHOLE other kettle of fish - I'll screw that up leaving the salon, I'm hopeless with that. I used to do that when I had nail tips - but then it was really worth the hassle . . .

(Doesn't really help justify the five pair I bought yesterday... but... well... what's a girl gonna do when it's too depressing to buy pants this week?) :o

Even if your town does not conceist/consiest (is that a word?) and you find yourself needenly of shoes like this and you cannot arrange a trade with someone, you will likely find a simular/simalaur pr. in the french 1/4.

So tonight I am having a delightfully, drunken dinner with my darling husband and a dear friend, and the conversation turns to shoes. My husband just casually mentions that a picture of my foot is on the board! Lord knows I need to check this thing more often!

Had to LOL at the whole thread. Yes, I take the pledge, though a day at Fest defies anyone to have clean feet.

The shoes in that picture are legendary. I am an avowed fan of comfort, Naots, sneakers, flip flops! All my friends know this. These are the most expensive shoes I have ever bought and I agonized over them. They are Giuseppe Zanotti (and I had no idea who he was but my "shoe crazy" friends did) and they are amazing. I bought them for a specific outfit but they actually work with a ton of things! My girlfriend told me I just needed to think of them as jewelry for my feet. It was such a change for me that we had to take a picture of them and email it to my friends!!

I think a picture of his feet while he is sleeping may have to show up....

Or I'll take a picture and post it here . . . I wouldn't want to wear them at the fairgrounds ;)

lol, so where do you wear them?

[ozzie]

So tonight I am having a delightfully, drunken dinner with my darling husband and a dear friend, and the conversation turns to shoes. My husband just casually mentions that a picture of my foot is on the board! Lord knows I need to check this thing more often!

Had to LOL at the whole thread. Yes, I take the pledge, though a day at Fest defies anyone to have clean feet.

The shoes in that picture are legendary. I am an avowed fan of comfort, Naots, sneakers, flip flops! All my friends know this. These are the most expensive shoes I have ever bought and I agonized over them. They are Giuseppe Zanotti (and I had no idea who he was but my "shoe crazy" friends did) and they are amazing. I bought them for a specific outfit but they actually work with a ton of things! My girlfriend told me I just needed to think of them as jewelry for my feet. It was such a change for me that we had to take a picture of them and email it to my friends!!

I think a picture of his feet while he is sleeping may have to show up....

They (shoes AND your feet) obviously made quite an impression on the mister! ;)

[Zydekitten]

lol, so where do you wear them? I usually wear them in cooler weather out and about . . . but because they're rare, I try to take really good care of them (I'm kind of protective of my shoes). :o

I was wondering why that one boot was feeling kind of funky.

[Zydekitten]

Yeah, you should always look out for kittens in your shoes before you put them on . . . :D

roflmao...I knew that was your foot!! The shoes were so pretty and your toes were so well-manicured...you can be the poster foot for the Pledge ;)

Practical suggestion: bring moleskin to NOLA and put some in your fest backpack. It works wonders for blisters and various and sundry foot woes! (I first discovered it after developing a blister on the BALL of my foot after my first long hot day of walking around Disneyworld. It literally saved my trip from being ruined!)

[SkyeDragon]

A new FOMS...............fear of missing shoes. Those sandals are sooooooooo cool. Foot jewelry indeed.

Nothing like everyone wanting to see your feet at fest. By the way where is that Pic of the hubbies feet. Bet they aren't as lovely as yours;)

Thanks for the tip Zbonnie...i'm adding moleskin to my list! :)

[ibjamn]

I got that tip from Bonnie years ago and it has saved my feet many a time!

[saturn]

I also like these - although they are a bit pricey.

[pokerchick66]

are those Ms. Fest's feet? Very pretty :)

BTW, I got your cd pack and was soooooooo excited cuz I thought it was for the newbies. I've been listening to them for days now. John Mayer isn't half-bad...would never know it was him lol! Thanks so much Fest...for real. Thanks so much. MUAH!!!!

I got Branford, Henry Butler, Muddy Waters (1978) AND Bonnie Raitt.

Thank you, Festngator! :D

[Zbonnie]

I got that tip from Bonnie years ago and it has saved my feet many a time!Oh, I'm so pleased to have been of service! (God willing, maybe someday my teenage son will say, "you know, my Mom taught me some good stuff!")

Ah, but our feet and their "festability" are worth it!

[Ms. Festngator]

Yes, that's me the official foot for the pledge !! LOL!!

I've decided that Festngator is getting a pedicure whether he likes it or not!! But since he is so busy burning and mailing CD's I've vowed not to embarass him
(yet...)

This thread is really hilarious!

Gravity. It keeps you rooted to the ground. In space, there's not any gravity. You just kind of leave your feet and go floating around. Is that what being in love is like?

Maybe a light pearly pink....or if he's feeling sassy and brassy....a bright coral would be lovely on his size 12 feet ;)

Jeff has flip flops with a bottle opener on the bottom of them. I think this is even better! :)

The BoingBoing link I included points to two earlier sandal topics--Jeff's bottle opener and this:

http://www.boingboing.net/2005/09/06/johnny_applesandal_w.html

The Johnny Applesandal is a sandal that contains seeds in its soles, which wear away slowly, evenly depositing seeds of phytoremdiating plants around your urban landscape.

They also make a great one called "Chocolate Shakespeare" that would totally be great on men's feets!

Did someone say PATRY ??!!!??
