Sandals, what man cares what other men wear on their feet. Freedom baby freedom. One sandal over another is just personal preference.

The sandal that first started this thread off is not made of "natural" materials. Thats tiki right there for you. Tiki is a faux of the Pacific and better.

Tiki doesn't fit into the norm of society but if we want to start looking at footwear, why not have it were your hair has to be styled a certain way and men's facial hair trimmed just so. Maybe everyone could drop a few pounds to just before the event, that not asking to much.

If I took my girlfriend and father to one of these events, I'm into the whole culture,(maybe not whole) but they aren't. They would be coming for me and would probably not be dressed at all. Sad to think that the next event that I went to I would have to think in the back of my mind that I'm being judged and I'm inappropriate. I won't go to a place like that.

A thread like this is fine. we have covered the last 50 years of tiki in just a few years and need interesting new topic to cover. But its just personal preference. I'll never catch me in a purple lounge shirt or a shiny red blazer.
