Is it normal to have a double standard about sandals?
I'm a guy and I wear sandals at home for comfort purposes, but I feel self-conscious about people seeing me wear them, and I am adamant about putting on close-toed shoes if I have to go anywhere. I personally feel like men who wear sandals in public places just can't be bothered to make themselves look socially presentable. The double standard is I think sandals look good on women for the exact same reason: That they've chosen something comfortable instead of feeling like they have to impress anyone. I have never and would never criticize anyone for their choice of footwear, but is it weird to have this mindset?
