Flip Flops or Slippers is one of the worst thing ever design by human. A pair of decent shoes is always the best. I don’t understand why Singaporeans are so proud of it, Flip Flopping around the cities in it. Most lamest reason I get from people is our humid weather or they just wanna let loose from their daily 9-5 work attire. Your foot does most all the work the very second you start rise to walk & travel, at any given time & space is expose to all types of debris, substances, materials, forms, objects, angles, machinery indoor + outdoor; i.e. (train doors, glass doors, wet floors, bar stools, movable chairs, train & platform gaps, trolleys, steps, escalators, crowd & many you can think of, (do feel free to add if you can think of any)…etc. It’s like a ticking time bomb accidents waiting to happen.

I don’t understand people who dress up for the airport either. Unless it’s a business trip or something and they have to catch a meeting. I wear flip flops and pants w/ garter like yoga pants, etc. I typically look like shit. Presentable shit.

It’s funny. I just wrote a whole post about flip-flops! Love it!

Planes are COLD PLACES. I always have to make sure I layer up in order to stay warm and comfy. Obviously flip-flops are an impossibility for me, no matter where I travel.
Last summer I flew Singapore Airlines and they were amazing, offering a free pair of disposable socks in their welcome packet! Now that’s what I call customer-friendly!

Totally with you on the comfort. Yoga pants or sweat pants. T-shirt with a sweater for layering. Socks. Comfortable shoes. I even go with slip ons that are good for hiking.

I find slightly looser shoes are good also for long flights that make your feet swell.

Man, I can’t imagine trying to put on a pair of heels after a 12 hour flight and then run through an airport like MIA (which means an hour walk and going thru security again).

I’ve seen people in heels in the airport. And short skirts. Yep. High heels. Short skirt. I want to ask them where they’re going.

Then, I want to whip out my camera and take photos, but airports seem a bit weird about people doing things like that.

I hear you! I also absolutely hate people who wait till the last minute to remove their belts, jackets (and hundred other things), holding up the line.

Ha! i loved this! I live between Liverpool and Manchester in the UK so its mega footballers wives land especially at the airport, so you see the heels thing a lot! I swear they must get changed into trackies as soon as the curtains close on the first class part of the plane, hehe!

Have you ever been asked the question “what you wearing to travel in?!” bleurgh!

I like to do my part for airport security… there’s always those slow people in line, so I try to make up for it

Slip on shoes work well, too!
