I wear hiking boots generally from November to April but my feet sweat way too much to deal with them in the warm months. My feet would smell worse than Panzer's bedroom if I wore them in the summertime. The sandals I wear are pretty heavy duty outdoors sandals, they're not flip-flops. And yes, I'm aware of the hazards of hiking while wearing them. Plus with sandals I don't have to stop and knock pebbles, twigs, wood chips, mud clods, and whatever else out of my shoes every half mile.

Conq, wearing steel wool pants in the summertime in Kansas would be like wearing a sauna.

Steezo, when I was five years old I felt something crawling around in my hair one summer afternoon when I was outside. Without thinking I brushed it down with my hand. It was a hornet and I ended up brushing it right down into my eye where it stung me, not a pleasant experience.
