This is something that I have noticed reciently. Also, I am asking this in the health section because of the fact that it is a question that has something to do with weight.

Lots of times it is difficult for an obese person to find shoes that fit or are comfortable. Sandals and flip-flops are a bit easier.
I'm not obese but I am getting a bit older and I have foot problems that have come about as a result of aging. Sandals and flip-flops are a nice relief from shoes, but I usually wear shoes.

Let's see - I fit the fat and obese qualification at 550 pounds plus - I also fit the qualificaiton that my midsection does not allow me to see my feet when I stand and my size makes it interesting to put on shoes, which I frequently wear. I also oftern wear sandals for the comfort and feel. Even more so when the weather is nicer.

Wow I am disgusted with how many rude answers this questions has recieved, and how rude this question is.
I think it's an individual prefrence...and big people can find shoes just as easily as any anorexic person. Ever heard of a thing called wide shoes.
I'm a big and beautiful woman myself, and I have no problem finding fashionable, comfy, WARM shoes in cold weather..and I am completely and utterly sickened by the shallowness of some people. But, I won't let that get to me because I'm proud that I can look at anyone of any size, age, race, and not be so judgemental and disgusting.
Grow up, people.

Well use tack, and ask one of them that way u would sure get the answer from the horses mouth. My thought is they are comfortable u don;t have 2 bend 2 tie or untie, u just slip them on. Also there feet may be swollen so flip-flops are comfortable.

Well, fat feet mean a tight fit width wise. And when a foot is put in a shoe that's not made for wide or fat feet, it doesn't give proper support. the fat from the sides of the feet get squeezed inward, and it's like trying to walk on a layer of fat around your feet. It hurts for some, and for others, they may experience sweaty feet. Sandals allow the foot to rest on ones foot without being squeezed in and also allows proper support.

Because their belly hangs out over their belt line so far they can't bend over far enough to see to tie their shoes. When the try to tie their shoes you can hear them puff and groan with the effort to get down far enough to do it. It is so much easier to get up in the morning and just slip on some sandals or flip-flops. It's sad but it's true!

It's hard to dress fat. They're looking for something comfotable.

I would assume that "normal" shoe sizes would not accomodate the width of their feet.

Because they cannot find regular shoes that will fit properly.
