Flip Flops at concerts?

I can't remember if there was a thing for this.
But whatever.

Have any of you ever worn flip flops to a concert?
Why would you want to?
I mean, all the jumping and craziness that goes on, your toes are gonna hurt.
Right?

A personal story, when I was at the MGMT concert everybody was wearing sandals and looking all dolled up, and I stepped on this girl's toes.(on accident)
Then she got ticked at me and called me a bitch for making her feet bleed.

I know not everyone is like that, but seriously.
That was completely not necessary.

Is this just me?

Haha, I remember I went to a Texas is on Fire concert in flip-flops. That's when I realized flip-flops are a no-no for hardcore/metal concerts.

Flip-flops, at a concernt, thats a hell no.

I would never, but there's a lot of things I wouldn't wear to a concert, that I've seen people in. Concerts are too crowded. A lot of excited people, packed closely together...that doesn't sound like a good place for flip-flops. Think of your poor toes.

I... kind of thought it was some crazy unspoken rule / common sense thing to not wear flipflops at a concert.

Unless you're planning on hanging round at the back, or it's a festival... you're feet are bound to get stepped on!

Man, that's even worse than wearing stilettos! :shock:
I have very troublesome feet and always have to think about what I wear when I need to stand up for a long time, or my legs will be sore for ages. I'd never even dream of wearing flip flops at a concert just for that reason.
The jumping and crowding makes the image even worse :tehe:

^ Oh my goodness. The thought of jumping does make it worse. Ouch. Yeah, I wouldnt reccomend wearing flip-flops to a concert.

It's really dumb.
Don't do it.
:cheese:

bad idea. o_o

Goodness, I'd be terrified to go to a concert in flip-flops. I got me feet hurt in tennis shoes when a band was playing at my school's talent show. Flip-flops at a concert would be awful, I don't care how cute they are.

:lmfao:lmfao:lmfao
There are 3 types of shoes you NEVER wear to a concert
Flip flops/sandals
high heels
steel toe boots

the first two are obvious but why not steel toes? I heard someone wore steel toes to a concert and this guy stomped on his foot in the put and the steel toe bit slammed down onto his toe and either cut it off or at least cut it bad.
:cheese:

so yeah, don't do it.

Nay!

I made the mistake of wearing flip flops to a concert once and literally five minutes after I got in the crowd, someone stepped on the back of one of mine when I was walking and it broke. So I was stuck with wearing a broke flip flop for the rest of the night and my feet got stepped on a lot too, which did not feel too well. :file: I will never do that ever again. I wear Converse now. :cute:

Don't wear flip flops to a concert.

^^ yeah that happened to me once but I lost mine stick with sneakers

Never. Ever.

Tre Cool:

Never. Ever.

Agreed.

I've never done it and I don't think I would.
I mean, I think it hurts enough if someone stands on your foot if you're wearing Vans or whatever, so to have that whilst wearing flip flops would be even more painful.

Anyone who consciously makes a decision to wear thongs / flip flops to a gig - with the intention of going in a mosh pit - is pretty stupid. I mean, where was your head at when you were getting ready? :file:

^ Consumed by the hairspray fumes maybe? :tehe:

Ahaha! If their not going in the pit and staying at the back I don't have a problem with it. Actually, I don't have a problem with it, I just think it's pretty inapropriate foot-wear, espeshally if you're at a rock gig.

The floor always gets stickey though, so it can't be too nice. :XD

That would be so hilarious. :tehe: Moshing in thin ass flip flops. :XD
The only shoes, in my opinion, that should be worn during concerts are ones that cover all or almost all of your feet.
