A solid pair handmade Church's are fit for any occasion and any company. If there well polished you know that you are dealing with a chap who respects himself and others (even if the are from the flipflop wearing lower orders).

LOL! More like, some sad deluded ponce who thinks that wearing a pair of shoes will somehow elevate them above the common herd...

Whilst we're on the subject of 'fashion acceptable in STW'; I just popped to the local market, wearing a singlet, jogging pants and sandals. What think the STW Moral Minority, of my crimes?

Rudeboy As my mother would say you look common, though I suspect not as you wore a "singlet". Common people wear vests.

flips flops are the lightest footwear to carry when commuting, ergo I live in mine from march til september.
My commute is a 60 mile round trip. and besides that weak attempt at arguing, I like 'em and yah boo sucks to anyone else...

Not at all. Someone once told me, and it has stayed with me, "Spend good money on your boots or your bed. If you're not in one, you're in the other".

Cheap shoes are a false economy, good shoes are a delight.

I have to say as well the 'ninja' (socks and sandals) look was well received inbetween matches in my old sport of paintball. I guess it's whatever the fashionatas decree is acceptable, and paintball was generally led by 18yr old punk kids. But then so was wearing your trousers backwards, sweatbands etc etc, it was fun times!

I dont care what anyone thinks of what I wear, I wear what I think looks good and feels nice - sod the lot of you if you dont like it. That said, I cant stand flipflops (on me) but if the person next to me had them on I wouldn't even notice, and if I did notice I'd not care. I just dont understand people who put so much thought into what other people do - d'ya not have enough going on in your life?! Big fat girl walking down the road rippling? Makes no odds to me, I wont even notice her unless she slaps me in the face with a roll.

i was impressed the other day to find that while wearing flipflops i was still able to do decent bunnyhops while riding my flat-pedalled mtb. i suppose if you've got the skills, you've got the skills.

So how about my summer apparel of either colonial shorts with turnups, or pleat front trousers with turnups (always black) worn with a (brightly coloured )t shirt and black rubber flip flops?

Note the shorts and trousers have knife edge creases in them

I loathe seeing flip-flops on anyone!!
Fine for the beach/camping/mooching around in the garden etc...
But out and about...no way!

Same goes for Crocs.
And what the hell is it with the whole vest-top bra showing/skinny jeans/Ugg boot thing???? All I think when I see it is "hell, her feet must really stink!"
There bluddy slippers ffs!!
As I said on CFH's thread...buy some shoes!
Cotton socks and leather shoes are much cooler when it's warm!!!!!

gotta admit, i'm another flip flop wearer from late Feb/early march through to mid/late October, when the shorts come out they go on!
i suppose mine are to be deemed Uber nasty then as they are Reefs with a bottle opener int he sole??
Oh, i also have a pair of croc's (most people that slag them off havent worn any, and i'll admit i did until i bought some to try!) many pairs of Deck shoes (from my sailing days!) and a pair of Mens O'niell thick fur lined winter boots! hahahha!
infacto, wife and i popped ot the beach at lunch time for an ice cream and a paddle! (5 mins away)

do agree on the ladies wearing Ugg's with worn out wonky soles wiht jeans when its Roasting does look a little silly!!!

Flipflops have a time and a place. That time and place it NOT with jeans on a Friday night at midnight in the middle of town. This seems to be beyond a lot of people with popped collars though.

I only wear flip flops when in gym showers or shower at home.

Anywhere else is just sad but I won't stop people wearing them. Need some ppl to look like dorks so we look cool.

I met school teachers on training sessions-wearing flip flops, greasy hair and rolled up jeans and you can guess she didn't inspire me at all-wonder what the kids think...

So it's not just guys but also women who look stupid.

Because hairy toes are the worst things in the World, that's why not.

I have just been for a stroll around the shops wearing my flip flops. Why not?

My toes aren't that hairy though, and my flip flops are very nice Panama Jack ones, I'm going to go home and put them on specifically to walk round Waitrose later.

OK, whilst I'm on a rantette ...

Body odour.

Some people are just so offensive.

I'm finding it very difficult to bite my tongue when someone gets in my face.

How can you have a nickname like the Southern Yeti and not have hairy toes??

The Southern Yeti - Member

HAHAHA, Yeti has absolutely nothing to do with my choice of bike or my level body hair!

C_G with you on the body odour thing... there was some stat on the tele the other night... something like >40% of blokes won't have washed this morning!

@cinnamon_girl - your sense of smell is greater than your average guy - they probably know they smell a bit but not as bad as you realise...

C_G you've got this stalking game all wrong, flip flops make a person much easier to stalk

Cover your eyes (although these are on a girl - I was wearing some too)...

Doesn't bother me in the slightest - everyone wears them down here.

OK, I have a nose like a bloodhound hence my excitement of bluebells arriving in the woods.

People also don't change their clothes often enough either.

Teenagers need to be cut some slack cos it's their hormones ain't it?

Think I'll hibernate and come back in Winter.

I've been wearing these today so as to avoid offending people with my naked toes.

But i've just ordered a pair of these to keep CG happy.
