Hey dude, you can wear whatever you want if it floats your boat! To be honest the jury is out on this one but that doesn’t mean they can’t look city-slicker cool if you have the confidence to style it out. For the city heat, slides are actually more urban practical than flip-flops as they are more substantial, cover more of your feet and are less of a sidewalk trip risk. Wear them as the slide gods intended them, sport casual or bring some poolside wishful thinking to your suit or long pants. The fashionistas wear them with socks which is ok with us. One word of advice if you are going barefoot in your slides around the city this summer, check out your feet to see if a quick pedicure may be in order. You don’t want to offend anyone on the morning commute.\r
