I just can't bear the symbolism of putting them away and admitting that the summer that never was is gone Sad Anyone else mourning the unavoidable passing of their sandals?

Isn't it supposed to get warm again next week? :)

Not sure where you are, but in London at least the forecast is for 27 degrees again on Tuesday...

skylarsmammy · 12/09/2012 14:00

Oh I'm oop north. It'll likely be snowing here by Tuesday Sad

I don't ditch my Tevas until at least November.

cheekybarsteward · 12/09/2012 14:17

I simply cannot take my flip flops off until the rain is seeping over the top of them or the frost/snow is freezing my feet.

charlottehere · 12/09/2012 14:19

gawd no, I'm in SW and is quite cold today but the ff are staying for now. Isn't sep supposed to be warm anyway.

CitrusyOne · 12/09/2012 14:20

At 35 wks pg its flip flops up until the baby's out!

kinkyfuckery · 12/09/2012 14:23

I normally wear my Birki's through til October-ish, but have been wearing my converse the last couple of days. It's sooo cold here just now!

ClippedPhoenix · 12/09/2012 14:25

As have I OP Grin

I wait until my toes turn blue the weather has definitely turned to discard them for another year.

I have a toe that goes into the other and it's so sodding painful in closed shoes no matter how short i cut the nail Sad

Nymia · 12/09/2012 14:27

Citrusy I just came on this thread to say the same Grin

Feet suddenly swollen + me heavily pregnant and overheating = flip flops for the next few weeks regardless of weather!

EmmaNemms · 12/09/2012 15:53

I am a fitflop addict and wear them unless it's actually snowing. However, my new suede clog style ones have arrived so I still don't have to wear socks or tights all year!

ClippedPhoenix · 12/09/2012 16:01

I'm also an avid fitflop wearer. Funny enough I just googled their new shoes but think they are rather ugly [very dissapointed emicon].

I like the small closed in wedge shape but why oh why do they have a band at the front!

indiechick · 12/09/2012 16:03

It is admitting summer's over though. I can't do that just yet, it's not Oct yet.
Is a bit chilly though.

LaurieFairyCake · 12/09/2012 16:08

I'm wearing my Fitflop boots today, it's chilly and 18 degrees inside the house.

I'm this close to putting the fire on.

shrimponastick · 12/09/2012 16:09

YANBU

It is not winter yet. It is NOT!!!

I am still in summer clothes - can't bear to wear something which actually covers my legs (doesn't help that ihave put on so much weight over the summer that my jeans don't fit!!). Out tonight, and despite it raining alll day here- I am still wearing my summer dress and sandals.

Startailoforangeandgold · 12/09/2012 16:14

Sandals and cold toes here, very cold toes last night as some idiot decided it was hot at the event I was at, and opened the door.

neuroticmumof3 · 12/09/2012 16:18

Still in flip flops even though my expensive ones broke last week (Primark ones still going strong) and my feet are cold. I thought the weather was meant to be dire next week? I'm in Oxon.

ReshapeWhileDamp · 12/09/2012 16:26

Yes, YABU. They're very bad for your feet. Grin

skylarsmammy · 12/09/2012 21:45

Are they bad for your feet? I didn't know that! I could live in my Havaianas!

OP posts:
FryOneFatManic · 12/09/2012 22:26

I will wear whatever footwear suits the weather on the day in question, which roughly translates as sandals/flipflips most days from April til October, or even March to November! My feet get really hot at times, so I like to keep cool.

CleoSmackYa · 12/09/2012 22:34

I've still got mine on. Probably until snow!

JumpingThroughMoreHoops · 12/09/2012 22:35

It's been a glorious summer. Odd days of rain, but on the whole it's been bloody marvellous

EverlongYouAreGoldAndOrange · 12/09/2012 22:40

I had gloves on today!

cheekybarsteward · 13/09/2012 10:03

Fit flops or flip flops are bad for your feet? I live in my fit flops, could do with knowing whether the boots are worth the money?

TheReturnoftheSmartArse · 13/09/2012 10:05

I wore mine into work this morning - with tights on. Not a great look, but who cares?! I'm not giving in to winter completely just yet. Grin
