We continue waving the multi-colored flag of capitalist indulgence in our second Gay Pride Gift Guide, this time focusing our kaleidoscopic lens on that most-hackneyed of queer stereotypes, the Gay Jock — of course the only balls he knows his way around won’t be found on any court or field, but I digress.

Flip Flops - an ugly word for anyone who takes public transportation. When you wear all-around open shoes in New York City, you run the risk of getting garbage, creatures, gum, dirt, spit and other various sticky substances adhered to your toes. Gross! Most of the time, we keep these sandals reserved for grabbing a bagel in our respective neighborhoods and strolling the boardwalk on a sunny beach. But we know how hot and lazy summer can be, and there are some open sandals so cute that we’ll make an exception to the rule. Here are 10 fashionable flip flops that won’t get you arrested by the street feet police.

We like to shop, and of course we’d like to volunteer for charity, but sometimes there isn’t enough time in the day for it all. Good news for you – you can save the world simply by satisfying your retail whims. Thanks to some seriously forward thinking CEOs who are helping the world, and still making a profit.

Tom Ford may be one of the last living gentlemen, at least on this side of the ocean. Always well-tailored, always impeccably-groomed — the man is a walking reminder of men from a bygone era. Men who took their hats off in elevators, pulled out a lady’s chair and drank Scotch in the middle of the day. Or maybe I’m just thinking of Mad Men.
Now, I have never considered myself a gentleman — usually a lady, more often a tramp — but in reading Ford’s “5 easy lessons on how to be a modern gentleman” for An0ther Magazine, I realized that I’ll probably never be a gentleman. Not because I’m sartorially challenged, but mostly because I’m kind of an asshole.

When it comes to sandals, I think they’re best worn at the beach or far away from public consumption. When it comes to flip-flops, I think they should just be thrown atop a burning trash heap since that’s the only good they’ll do anyone. But for some reason, fashion is embracing the Teva, the ugliest men’s footwear this side of a fluorescent Croc.

Vicky Beckham isn’t afraid of getting her feet wet, she hung with her kids on a lazy afternoon wearing ripped denim, a black tank, and (for the first time) flip flops.

The Daily News tested some of their own flops for germs and found more than fecal matter, but boil-causing bacteria.

So these are flip flops, made by Krispy Kreme, that have real grass in them, supposedly made to resemble the feeling of walking on grass at a park. Handed out to ‘stressed-out’ London commuters, each shoe contain around 5,00 blades of grass, which needs to be watered (yes watered) in order for them to last as long as 4 month. Also, the grass needs to be ‘mown’ in order for them to not overgrow. Yes, all of this is odd, but they do sound sort of comfy.
Thanks Shoewawa for pointing these out.
