Do these jandals make me look fat?

as you can see my poor wee brown jandals have officially kicked the bucket... for years now (yes literally years) i have been wearing these bad boys and only recently after at least 6 years loyal service a hole has made its way through...these loving jandals long ago lost all ability to grip the footpath making every steep surface and rainy day a challenge but i stuck with them determined to wear them till i no longer could and that day has come...
now i have these new ones, these bright blue ones these £15 at Camden market ones, these perfectly even because they haven't yet grooved to the shape of my feet ones... and yet i cant quite bring myself to chuck out the old ones....sad times for the old dogs....
if anyone out there has some jandals that need a new home (sorry not beat up old bangers like my brown ones I'm talking new or only slightly worn non-toe-jammy jandals) then donate them to a great cause Flip-flops for Africa (www.flipflopsforafrica.org) is a non profit organization aiming to bring flip flops to the masses in poor and underdeveloped nations the idea being that many simple health problems (such as sores,cuts and infections) could be reduced simply by wearing shoes something to think about anyway...
