Yup, sandals can even kill you in some rare cases. Walking around in your sandals can pick up deadly bacteria in your feet and case illnesses. Dr. Charles P. Gerba -- professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona -- says that 93 percent of flip flops will have fecal bacteria after three months of wear, and 20 percent will have E. coli.

Nope. I'm always either in sandals or I'm barefooted and all that's happened to me were light calluses. I'm sure I'm fine.

The only time I'd wear sandals is at the beach or pool. My feet always hurt whenever I walk around in them for a long time.
I think I'm OK.

Please any shoe can pick up bacteria,you can trip with any shoe on,In fact you are less likely to keep germs on bare feet than hot sweaty shoes which is a place they love to live and breed...

If I'm not wearing sandals, I'm not wearing shoes, so I'll take my chances.
