Have you ever noticed someone’s feet who was wearing flip-flops and wished you never looked?
If so, this post is going to check a lot of boxes for you.
Let’s jump right into it.
If you wear open-toed footwear your feet must be presentable. Period.
What does it mean to have my feet presentable?
Let’s start by defining the word presentable. The root word is “present”. In the context of our wardrobe and personal style present here means :
“To bring something before the public”.
(Definition of present)
So to make something presentable in the context of our conversation means…
“To be clean, well dressed, or decent enough to be seen in public”.
(Definition of presentable)
If you are making the conscious decion to wear footwear that reveals your foot, then it only makes sense to make sure your foot looks presentable.
People who wear boots, sneakers, and other forms of closed-toed footwear don’t have to worry about this.
(Even if their feet look like dragon claws it doesn’t matter because they are completely covered!)
No No’s For Your Toe Toes
Fellas, we gotta take better care of our feet.
Below are a few common mistakes people often make when wearing flip flops and sandals.
- Dirty feet
- Long toe nails
- Dirt & grime underneath nails
- Dry & cracked skin (especially on the heel)
- Wearing socks
Allow me to elaborate on that last point a bit more.
Wearing socks with sandals sends a mixed message.
Sandals give the impression that you’re going somewhere where the climate is hot and muggy. Maybe even to the beach where you expect your feet to get wet.
Socks give the impression you are wearing closed footwear. (Most people wear socks so the shoe material doesn’t rub against their bare feet).
Additionally, socks are also worn when it’s cold outside.
So if you wear socks and flip flops, people won’t know if you think it’s hot or cold!
It’s a natural thing for us to look down at someone’s feet when we’re around them.
And when we see these things, we form certain opinions in our minds about what we see.
Someone with unkempt feet can cause us to think they are unsanitary, and sloppy.

Advice from Jeff
Whether you are a man or a woman, everyone should have clean, well-kept feet.
If you take the time to put on a great outfit, make sure you complete the look with the proper hygiene and personal care.
Keep your footwear and good condition and try to beat the heat!
Until next time Gents!
