What's your opinion?

I have a feeling my opinion is going to change after reading through this two page (!) thread (and it just started after I went to bed last night!)

I never have tried them on either, like you, I figured they'd be terribly uncomfortable and I don't like the way they look either. But I do see them on LOTS of the nurses at the hospital so either that's a different kind, or they must be comfortable...

Really? Intriguing, since I figured they'd be hot and sweaty on the feet as well.

I had a pair of sandals that did this. They only lasted one season.

Iri; very glad you started the thread, and look, you already have a fashion debate going on! As for me, I just found out (and don't laugh, y'all, I normally hate clothes shopping and don't pay attention) that Hanes here in the U.S. has started packaging women's tank tops and tees in multi packs like they've been doing for men for ages. I grabbed a couple of packages and the tees are the most comfortable things EVER. And cheap! I need some more shorts, but don't know where or when I'll get them, since I didn't get the ones from Kohl's yesterday. I also want/need another good pair of leather "earth shoes" sturdy sandals.
