Sandals in summer? sandali estivi?

In italy:

feminine sandal =
Summer pleasure-loving freedom- fresh and girly-colored beads -dancing in the sand halfnaked at the moonlight 
men's sandal =
sad Franciscan repentance / return of the Inquisition -(Cit. fabrizio casalino) 
Also: retired old man playing bowl game, hairy legs with unwatchable shorts LOL

We do not like to see male feet  pretty inelegant!
what about your country?!
