What is considered a Flip Flop

[Adkmom]

I am wondering what is considered a Flip Flop at Manhattan. I have a great pair of sandals that are flip flop style with a 2 inch cork heal and lots of bling. Any hope of these being ok?

Sounds more like a sandal to me than a flip flop. I'd definitely wear them.

 

Then again, I may be kicked out right along side you! :-)

To me, flip flops are made of rubber, are flat, have the thingy to go between the big toes and the second toes, come in several different colors, primarily red and blue and look very inexpensive. That's a flip flop to me.

I'm sure the difference will up to the discretion of the ship personnel. If you have nice between the toe sandals it won't be an issue. They're just trying to keep people from rolling in from the pool deck in shorts, bathing suits or flip-flops

I will be wearing flip flops everywhere. I have some dressy flip flops for the evening. But they all will be flat with no heel. I had an achilles tendon rupture and still have not built up my ankle and calf muscle, and it is painful to walk in anything with a heel. If I am asked to leave any restaurant they will have a world of **** on their hands. I can't be forced to wear a heel when I am unable to do so. I have some blinged out flip flops/sandals, but they are flat, and I plan to wear them with my sundresses in the evenings. ;):D

Thanks for the visual mine are somewhere in between but defiantly not a rubber flip flop. I am also hoping if I wear them with an awesome dress they will not care.

I am all for the dress code in the Manhattan I think it is an awesome compromise for NCL. Looking forward to some dinner dancing , I do feel sorry for those watching my hubby and I are terrible dancers.

On most ships my feet swell like crazy so I wear flip flops or thongs as I call them but they are glittery and silver ...very comfy I keep them exclusively for ships ...Never had a problem wearing them on ANY ship

They seel them on ships I bought mine on Princess

IMHO if it makes noise when you walk, it's a flip flop. They kind of, you know, flop.

 

Just keep your feet under the table.

Do you think I will be able to wear my Vibram five-fingers footwear to dinner?

[Adkmom]

Well it is definitely not a flip flop and it is more expensive than any shoe I own. Could be a new look on the dance floor.

In Australia we call them 'thongs'!! They are very popular, you can get pairs for $1.99 right through to over $100. However, you have problems with cheapo ones were the thing in the middle rips out.....

I absolutely love rubber flip flops in the summer and in addition to the cheepies, I bought three pairs in the $50 price range this year, but as cute are they are, they're still rubber flip flops and I wouldn't wear them to a nice restaurant. But I do have many thong style sandals that are not rubber and I would wear them to nice casual restaurants.

The flip flop style sandal you are describing is fine. That is what a great majority of the dressy Summer shoes are these days.

If flip flops are called thongs there, what are these called?

 

Just wondering. :confused:

 

 

Here are my new flip flops for the cruise (obviously the rubber kind and I won't be wearing them to dinner)

 

 

Here is what I'll be wearing with my dress:

Hahahah was waiting for it, I guess they are also called thongs but we prefer the name G Strings :P

 

Most Aussie 'blokes' wear thongs and a wife beater (singlet) in summer and really short shorts :P I have never called thongs flip flops

Ok, just wondering. My mom is the only one that has ever called "our thong" a g-string and I never understood that. What's "G" about it? :D More like a T string if you ask me. :p But now I understand. So if I go to dinner with my "thong" on and they tell me I can't wear thongs in the dinning area, I will know not to ask them how they knew I had a thong on in the first place. :eek: I'm glad I'm educating myself prior to the cruise. hehe

From Wiki

 

The origin of the term "G-string" is obscure. Since the 19th century, the term geestring referred to the string which held the loincloth of Native Americans [1] and later referred to the narrow loincloth itself. William Safire in his Ode on a G-String quoted the usage of the word "G-string" for loincloth by Harper's Magazine 15 years after Beadle's and suggested that the magazine confused the word with the musical term G-string (i.e., the string for the G note). Safire also mentions the opinion of linguist Robert Hendrickson that G (or gee) stands for groin, which was a taboo word at these times.[2]

Edgar Rice Burroughs dressed his created novel-character, Tarzan, in a G-string for first time in his book The Son of Tarzan (1914) in chapter 26.[3] However, Korak, son of Tarzan, used a G-string before his father Tarzan did in the same book (chapter 20).[4]
