Just because the weather is warm doesn’t mean you should let your feet fly free. Many men see the warmer months as a chance to show everyone their disgusting, unpedicured feet. It shouldn’t be this way.

Unless you’re going to the beach, all heels, toes, and nails should remain inside the safe confines of a shoe at all times.

“Men’s toes are, in general, unsightly,” Donnie Kwak, editor at Complex magazine, told Mashable last year.

It doesn’t matter how hot it is — there’s absolutely no need to wear sandals or flip flops with casual clothes. Beyond etiquette rules, this is just unsanitary.

If you won’t take our word for it, just listen to Mick Jagger.

The solution: Wearing actual shoes.
