Mumsnet Talk

these!
I told him that the holes made them look a bit "old man" and so he's gone off to bed in a huff. He thinks because they are Nike they must be cool.
Please help me find him a pair of sandals that I will not be ashamed to be seen with! He refuses to wear anything with a toe thong.

I quite like them!

Ok, that's fine.
I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or not! Not seen them in RL, jut on t'internet

Bump?

(please don't force me to live with horrid old man shoes. DH is only 34!)

They seem fine to me.

Look fine to me.

Normal man-sandal.

Personally I think they are quite nice for mens sandals. Just as long as he doesn't wear them with socks

Oh dear. Not my cup of tea
Have you checked lizard sandals?

im not keen. dh does have birkensocks which i like!

No. Sorry, those lizard sandals aren't my cup of tea. I imagine them with long greasy hair and a black tshirt.

I'm not overkeen on OP's sandals, but I've seen worse.

Thanks for the link Franca, but I can't see DH going for those especially in Cock Green!

Ok, if everyone else seems to think they're ok, I'll let him order them!
Thanks

oh fgs, can't get flipping links to work for love nor money.

those sandals are nice, but not the nicest things ever, maybe a bit old for him.

look up topman.com, click men's shoes. i found some lovely sandals, particularly the fisherman's sandal and the gladiator sandals.

ha sorry, don't know why i thought it was your son buying sandals. have no idea what age your dh is!

lol marymotherofcheese . It's bizarre, but Lizard are considered quite cool here in Italy !

I don't like them but I dislike most men's sandals. Is he definitely after sandals or just summer casual shoes? I had a similar debate with my DH and we managed to agree on sanuk sidewalk surfers.

Have you got a link Nolda?

S'alright Nolda, found them. DH would NOT like those. He's so fussy, knows what he won't wear, but no idea what he does want!

Hope this works

What about these? orthese?

As long as he doesn't wear socks!

Ugh, no.

No to which Debi? Or all of them?

My dh wears these I'm pretty ambivalent about men's footwear, my dh wears what he likes, he's a grown-up after all, but out of the sandals mentioned I think the op's dh has the better taste. of course my dh is 10 years older.

<whisper> All of them. I'm sorry - I felt bad after my first post! Men's sandals are so tricky tho...

No, that's ok Debi. All opinions greatfully received!
Sandals are tricky, but I fear divorce may be necessary if I have to go out with him teaming his shorts with black socks and white trainers again!
