Befuddling Footwear

I came across an ad for the L.L. Bean version of these shearling flip flops, and I just couldn't understand why anyone would want them. Full disclosure: I hate flip flops. They are bad for walking. They can ruin your gait. I understand that they can be comfy around the house or yard or on the beach. Fine. But what is going on with shearling flip flops? Is the sole of your foot cold but your toes are hot? Is this something that will happen in menopause that nobody has told me about yet? It's the first day of autumn and my toes are cold but the sole of my foot is nice and toasty. Will that "flip flop" as I age? The L.L. Bean version doesn't have the sexy shearling on top of the foot, so it is less of a fashion statement. Dear walking fashionistas, would you buy these?
