Top 5 Rules for Summer Sandal Wear

The strangest thing happened in Winnipeg once it hit April. I saw the flip-flops come out, along with the capris, topped by a down winter vest. Are we really this desperate for summer to begin in Winnipeg that we have to put on the sandals and slosh through puddles with them on, but in a bid to try and avoid pneumonia we don a winter vest alongside the airy footwear?

So, in the spirit of crazy Winnipeg, I've come up with some guidelines for all the sandal wearers out there:
  1. Ladies, gentleman, furry feline friends everywhere, please, please, please, don't leave the house without first looking at your feet. Please make sure your toes aren't gnarly, your toenails aren't seven feet long with jagged edges (don't want to poke out an eye now), and your feet don't stink. Thank you.
  2. Please put nail polish on your nails (not just for the ladies anymore...). You wouldn't buy an unpainted ferrari, would you?
  3. Men, and I've seen women do it too, so listen up both of you: please don't wear socks with your sandals. What is the point? If you must wear a sock, just do us all a favor and wear the full shoe.
  4. Shave those little toe hairs. You know what I'm talking about. Nobody needs to see those.
  5. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Dry, scabby, flaky feet are gross. Trust me.
