Flip flop socks are a real thing, but the jury is still out on whether they are a good thing or a bad thing. Whatever your feelings are on them, you might as well get used to them because they are taking the internet by storm.

What exactly are flip flop socks? Well, they are typically half knitted socks. When wearing them, half of your foot remains exposed in these toe-less and heel-less oddities.

They’re designed with the idea in mind that many people don’t like to give up their flips flops even after flip flop season comes to an end. So now you never have to actually put yours away.

These crazy socks help you navigate seasonal footwear so that you can easily wear your flip flops well into sweater weather. At first glimpse, my thoughts were that if your feet are cold, it’s obviously time to put your flip flops away.

But not everyone agrees according to the comments I’ve seen on Facebook and Instagram. So I guess if you feel the need to slip on a pair of flip flop socks, who am I to judge you!

Just keep in mind though, this means that pedicure season is never over. You’ll have to leave the salon in freezing weather and I don’t know how you’d get a pair of these socks on to keep your feet warm without smudging your polish. Good luck with that! I’ll take a pass on this fashion trend but what are your thoughts? Let us know in the comment section.
