Quick question - what do you call these?

[timestheybeachangin]

Slides or sliders? And where in the country are you?

DH (Northern) calls them slides.
Me (South-East) calls them sliders.

It’s causing an argument - who is right?

Sliders. I'm in NW.

Until I read this I had no idea what sliders were.
To me 'slides' are what little girls wear to keep their hair out of their eyes.

Ive only heard sliders london/herts/essex , but would call flipflops or sandals myself

Definitely sliders in fashion retail

Aren't 'sliders' burgers? That could make for an interesting BBQ.

YABU to not ask -

What is the difference between mules and slides?

Slides. Sliders are mini-burgers.

depends if wear them with our without socks ;-)

Mules tend to have a heel

Flip flops. Originally from SE, have lived all over the UK. Never heard them called sliders or slides!

Sliders. I’m south east.

Flip flops are the ones with the bits between the toe and slides are nothing.

Flip flops (80s kid from the North East)

Slides. Slides. Slides. Even with a £400 difference.

They will always be a slide to me.

Mine are from Tesco

Sliders

Flip flops here too

Think they were called slides when they were in fashion in the 90s but sliders is now the common term.

They are not flip flops

Sandals

South East England - we call them sliders (well my 17 year old daughter does, and they have to be high end or designer brand otherwise it’s just embarrassing) I can’t keep them on my feet (wanders off to put her crocs on)

It's been a trend in America for decades popular with sports stars, rappers etc. Anyone remember the one jogger leg pulled up trend 🤣

Sliders, but only in the last couple of years.

Before that I think I would have called them pool shoes.

In the past I'd have gone for mules.
Now that the term has been invented I'd go for slides.

I thought flip-flops always had a separator between the big and the second toe?

I think it’s all just subcategory of sandal territory.

Flip flops have bits between the toes. (Pool) sliders are the abominations in the OP.

Just to add in a silly joke I once heard:

Flip-flips are sinister but flop-flops are all right.
