Why is it that people hate sandals with socks?

True. And we need to draw a distinction between “sandals” (multi strapped open footwear), “flip flops” and “slides” (which is what the younger crowd is wearing now).

Slides are super comfortable. I hate anything between my toes, so flip flops are out for me. But I dig sandals, and I really love slides. Slides with socks in the winter is where it’s at!
