Cosmic Joe Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Sandals are surely compulsory footwear for a beach holiday (remember them?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie adie Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Up here we could always tell the white settlers before we heard thier accents. Sandals, worn along with tracksuit bottoms, and a padded red and black, or green and black chequered padded shirt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duszek Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Easy to mock until you live in a hot climate. I won’t often wear socks and shoes till September, and while Birkenstocks take some wearing in, they end up super-comfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I physically boak when I see guys with sandals on, especially when it’s somewhere like a supermarket. I can just about stomach it on holiday, but the last thing I want to see in the frozen meat aisle of Tesco is a grown mans toes literally yards from my face. I was on a golf trip in Portugal a couple of years ago with about 10 other guys around my age, and I was the only one that had the decency to keep my toes enclosed for the full trip. Genuinely struggled to eat my dinner knowing the horror that was hiding under the table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Crocs were created when someone asked a 5 year old to draw half a sandal and half a shoe. Never had the pleasure of owning a pair, but would they not maybe find a use as a protective shoe during some water based activities on rocky shores or river beds ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Wearing sandals when it’s pishing down is bizarre behaviour. Your feet would be soaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would crocs be acceptable for a specific, very practical reason? A reason that wouldn't see the offending items being described as everyday comfortable footwear.
