Post by PaulyPost by cwI'm 37 and have been painting my toe nails for years but only in winter
months when I don't wear my flip flops. I also enjoy wearing a gold
toe ring
If your toes are hidden in winter, then it's your secret pleaure then?
Kinda the barefooter's equivelent to Victoria's Secret:
it's how you feel that matters since only close-personal-friends
get to see what you're wearing underneath :-)
I've tried nail polish on my toes only a few times.
It looked nice but it was a lot of effort
and only lasts a week or so before the nail grows enough to push it out.
I prefer just buffing my nails smooth.
As to toe rings, I finally sized a nice Celtic design one for my long-toe
that's a full circle, not an open back so it never pinches or hurts.
Toe rings with bare footprints are cute!
Post by PaulyPainting you toe nails? I never heard a man doing that.
Oh honey, you ain't seen nothing!
I went to college on St. Mark's Place in the village
during the punk era, when hair was dyed any color of the rainbow
and piercings were just starting.
I wimped out and didn't do that,
but some guys were rather cute with their fun colored hair
(I had a crush on a classmate with a waist-long purple ponytail
that I still consider the perfect ponytail: thick, lush
perfectly straight yellow-blonde hair like cornsilk
that swished and swayed with the slightest gesture,
joyously amplifying his joy!)
Post by PaulyHow can you toes handle toe rings?
My toes are so sensitive I can't handle anything on my toes.
Whenever I wear sandals, they cannot have the thong between the toes.
My feet too were too sensitive for such things, but I figure it was
a combination of slow acclimation to the unusual sensations
and buying better quality stuff.
As a kid, I was usually given the el-cheapo plastic/rubber beach thongs
with the sharp mold-mark on the strap between the toes.
That felt like a knife trying to cleave off my big toe!
But later as a teen I got better thongs with fabric or velvet
for the strap between the toes, which is a LOT MORE COMFORTABLE.
At first, I wore them at home as slippers a little at a time
until I was comfortable enough to wear them for longer periods of time
and finally to wear them outside the house too.
When I had a paper route, I wore sneakers for the bicycle riding
but had thongs or sandals in the backpack pocket
for the times I was in the hi-rise buildings
so that helped me get comfy with them too.
Dare I say that the Abercrombie & Fitch super-wide leather or foam thongs
are AWESOME! Those give such a HUGE FOOTPRINT and really show off your feet too!
I wish they named them better so you don't confuse them with their ordinary thongs.
Let me try to find a good reference ... "A&F Leather Treads"
(they call them treads instead of thongs, slaps, flip-flops, ...)

The furry ones are hard to get particularly in men's sizes!
