> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > That’s kind of gross. Your flip-flops are covered in months or years of sweat and dead skin. How is the latter gross? What do you think dust is, fairy dew? As for the OP, at least he didn’t get just ONE stolen. ---

My Skechers Reggaes are the best and very kind to my arthritic knees. If I lost them I’d be bummed. That dirt and dead skin and stuff washes right out. In fact, my flip flops wash much easier than my winter shoes which also get sweat and dirt in them. When’s the last time you threw your lace-ups in the washer?
