A version this goes around when summer begins. It really is true all year long. I have seen women wear sandals/flip flops in the dead of winter. Heed the warning ladies…..
Rule for Summer Feet
1. I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang
over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the
sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.
2. I will either be polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and
chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.
3. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and
yellow.
4. I will shave the hairs off my big toe.
5. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed
girlfriend/co-worker/mother/sister tells me the toe seam really will
stay under my toes if I tuck it there. (who wears pantyhose anymore??)
6. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape (my husband would totally do this)
pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss them --
no matter how much it hurts.
7. I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend
Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.
8. I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes (they still make those things??)

8. I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes (they still make those things??)
at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough
to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others.
No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat, and I would
hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.
9. I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes
swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.
10. I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/co-worker when
she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell
her that her toes look like they've been dragged behind her car on the way
to work and no sandal in the world is going to make her feet look good.
11. I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.
12. I will promise to have a real pedicure before putting on my summer sandals.
And finally . . .

signs of wear . . . nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals ...
