I love flip-flops. My shoe wardrobe sees two seasons a year—boots and flip-flops. I've never heeded warnings about foot discomfort and I have always overlooked my cracked and embarrassingly difficult to clean heels because flip-flops just feel so good. This summer, though, I headed to Spain. As I packed my bags, I had to face the sobering reality of hours of walking tours and schlepping around the city I would live in. I had no car to give me a break—I would be lucky to find a piggy-back ride. Because I knew I would be taking the shoe leather express for a month, I did some research, and found my new best friend—Teesa. The supportive shoes with stood weeks of navigating tricky cobblestone streets. Read about flip-flops on pg. 5, and decide if your footwear needs a makeover. Then check out Jenny Denny's venture into the land of myths and legends on pg. 8, and once and for all, quit worrying about the gum you swallowed back in grade school.
