[net.misc] sandals and Birkenstocks

Count me in as another April-to-October Birkenstock wearer.  I haven't
found any footwear more comfortable (and in Cambridge, they count as
formal or casual wear!)  The issue of ugliness is, I guess, a matter
of taste; I like 'em.

This topic has jogged a rather silly question that I have always wondered about,
though never knew whom to ask: why do fewer men than women wear sandals?
This seems to carry over into advertising, too: you'll rarely see an ad
for men's sandals.

What's this still doing in net.singles?  Good question I guess... I'm copying
it to net.misc as well.
