To decide I would never be life long freinds with someone based on thier footwear?

[LynetteScavo]

So today I met a nice woman, collecting her child from the same school as mine. I'd never seen her before (I usually collect from after school club), and we passed a few words about the weather.

Then I noticed what she was wearing on her feet, and started to wonder if I could ever be good friends with her.

AIBU?

YANBU at all. I am best friends with someone that I only talked to because she was wearing a great outfit on the day I met her

You met a nice woman. Which kind/type of footwear is irrelevant. I suspect this OP is joking - i really hope so!

Unless they were swaskita sandals then YAprobablyBU.

PMSL! @ notquitenormal's post

Aren't those Uggs slippers like you'd wear in the house on a cold winter's day? Do people actually wear them OUT? (I only ever wear trainers or flip flops, so I am not a shoe-fanista, but EVEN I wouldn't wear slippers on the school run).

I believe that the ugg-slippers LOOK vaguely Ugg-like in that they're grey or black or brown but they're a lot flimsier than a real Ugg....OP...I have some which I wear in the garden a lot...and those who have been mean...I know a single Mother of three who wore flip flops into Autumn as she had no money for shoes for herself...it may even have been her you were taking to...or someone like her... She works and pays her own rent and as such she has barely any cash spare...what she does have goes on her kids.

I hate seeing people sneer at Mothers who are poorer and have crappy clothes or inappropriate shoes....it's just despicable.

PMSL@the Lelly Kelly post ages ago.

I looked up Lelly Kelly. They only go to size 2 maximum, and my feet aren't quite that teeny! So I'll to find some other summer footwear now.

Really, LittleOneMum? What was she wearing? I haven't a clue what my friends were wearing on the day I met them.

Skinit, you are missing the point...I wasn't sneering at the shoes because they were cheep. I didn't want to say what shoes they were....I someone wore these www.net-a-porter.com/product/101515 on the school run I would be thinking the same thing.

Converse wearers, on the other hand I feel drawn to. Especially worn out holey converse in once bright colours. They scream "I'm safe but fun" Beware if you wear such an footwear, I might try to befriend you.

Swaskita sandals would put me right off someone

I wore flip flops into the Autumn. It's because I love 'em! (Sorry, digression)

I knew it, bloody knew it that they would be fake uggs!.....
