Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Thanks MrsJohnSimm. They look good, but I baulk at paying over £65 for summer sandals that he'll trash in the sand pit.
<EBM wonders if she should buy DH some Doodles like DS>

Try Mephisto. My DH has a very stylish (and yet practical...yawn) pair of sandals from there. He swears they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever bought.

oh lordy! fair point - the first sandals would be better than that wink

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!

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

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.

No to which Debi? Or all of them?

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!

Have you got a link Nolda?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Have you checked lizard sandals?

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

Bump?

(please don't force me to live with horrid old man shoes. DH is only 34!)
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 22:29:50
Ok, that's fine.
I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or not! Not seen them in RL, jut on t'internet
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 22:26:47
I quite like them!blush
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 22:20:33
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.
