Once on cruise, it was EXTREMELY rocky with waves breaking on the balaconies and the whole pool area looked like a swimming pool ... and ... it was Formal Night.
An Emergency Announcement came on in our cabin from the CD saying the Captain requested everyone wear low heel, skip resistant footwear. Then, the CD added, "Flip-flops and tennis shoes will be perfectly appropriate for this formal evening."
So I have actually worn flip flops on a Formal Night to the MDR!

Did the color of the flip flops match your attire? I certainly hope so.

On the Brilliance cruise my ankles swelled up really bad (long story, but it had nothing to do with the cruise itself). Later that night, I didn't bother getting changed and put on my Royal Caribbean slippers to head to the Concierge Lounge to use the internet. Well, my card wasn't working in the swiper thing so I had to head down to Guest Relations and the elevator was right outside the CL so off I went wearing my black formal gown with my white RC slippers Yes there were fashion police on patrol, no one said anything, but the looks on their faces were priceless

I would be in big trouble wearing my brown flip flops on a formal night. Then again, if you read what I wrote above, how much worse could it be?

On our 15 day cruise, I brought a total of three pairs of shoes. The walking shoes I was wearing and two pairs of sandals in my luggage. A flat casual pair and a dressy with 1" heels (that's high for me) black sandals.
My hubby also only brought a few pairs of shoes. On our third formal night we both ditched the dress shoes and went casual at least for our feet.
I take flip flops as a backup and never wear them. I can't stand the thing between my toes.
They're lightweight so I keep thinking it's better to have them and not need them; than to need them and not have them
Boy, am I ever with you there. I HATE that thing between my toes. And, I find the 'slapping' noise that they make with every step excruciating irritating.
Back to the original question -
I can't recall havingEVER taken a pair of shoes that I would onlly wear once. I can't even imagine justifying owning enough shoes to have a pair that only goes with one outfit.
