 Ban flip-flops, bring sexy back!***
 
 I experienced a revelation while walking through downtown yesterday. I have long despised the current ultra-flat flip-flop trend among women but couldn't quite put my finger on why. As I was walking behind a lady with my gaze modestly cast downward toward her feet, I observed her shuffling, skewed-toe gait. I realized that the reason for this acute foot angle was to better prevent her little flip-flops from flying off. The net result of this understandable and natural flip-flop preservation mechanism is to create an overall walk that is actually more of a waddle. And then I began to see it everywhere - all the girls wearing flip-flops were walking in this kind of undignified trundling manner. What happened to stodgily-dressed, conservative DC? I long for the smart and classy fashion of women in old Hollywood. The casual look has gone too far. I guess the equality of the sexes has really come to pass - now women are as slovenly as guys. This flip-flop hegemony has got to end. I want to see women walking with their toes out in front of them, tall and proud. Have some dignity, have some posture, ban the flip-flops, bring sexy back!
 
 Completely coincidentally, I came across this article in Tuesday's Express that offers a solution to this very problem. It notes that not only does walking with toes pointed straight ahead improve posture, it also burns more calories! Ladies, I'm telling you, you have to start this revolution!

One of my pet peeves of DC was women who wore trainers with business suits while commuting to work....buy shoes that fucking fit and don't hurt, you stupid bitch
 
 
 Then one day I started to notice men doing the same, it was at that point I knew I had to get out of that city, or turn into a serial trainer-wearer killer.

I haven't played it online. Someone brought their wii over and it was alot of fun. I still don't know if I'd play one without other people there, but the Mario Kart is making me wonder...

What's this "trainer" you speak of?

fucking hell you're acting old and grumpy...
 
 they DID buy themselves shoes that fucking fit and don't hurt: they're called running shoes (AKA "trainers").

I'm going to agree with Mankie here.  Sneakers and suits are cheap looking.  Why spend all of that money on a suit and then make it look stupid by wearing sneakers.

How is it going to wipe it's arse...it has no fingers? [/b]

Guess we'll have to ask cale, since he's the only calculator robot on the board.  I still can't believe that that Black Cat banned calculator robots. [/b]

If one was truly interested in comfort, they wouldn't be wearing a suit.

ive never worn a suit to work regularly, but it is much faster to change shoes than an entire outfit

Don't bother.  It's only a matter of time before the Black Cat bans comfortable dress shoes along with flip flops, sharpies, and calculator robots.

Thank you for someone understanding my point.

 nothing is more comfortable for walking on concrete than tennis shoes i dont care how much money you spend on your shoes.
 
 i can see wearing dress shoes if you drive to the train/bus and get off right at your job, but if you have to walk for 10-20 minutes you really should wear proper walking shoes. i wear heels at work but i'm not trotting to the train in them. concrete is the worst thing for heels and my feet.
