DH wearing socks with flip flops?!

[ikidewwnot]

AIBU to tell DH he looks ridiculous?!! He's in a mood now and has stopped off!!

Sliders with socks is bang on trend. So pleased I’m untrendy!

The only people that have worn socks with sandals historically, are American tourists and Liberal Democrat’s

I put my flip flops on to let the dog out whilst wearing normal socks. It's very uncomfortable

It's trendy. Let him get on with it.

LTB. No seriously.

How does it work? Does he bunch the socks round the toe bit, or have toe socks? Weird, but funny. I would have laughed. If DH did that he would be taking the piss and doing a funny walk. Is he joking?

I’ve been known to do this while camping - ideal for schlepping to the toilet block once the evening turns a bit chilly. I even have special toe socks for the purpose embrace the uncoolness!

Sliders with socks were the height of fashion a year ago, in that "it's so utterly hideous that it looks strangely cool when worn by a beautiful 16yo" kind of way. Flipflops with socks have never been in, and middle-aged men in socks are, I regret to say, perennially out of fashion.

No one should wear flip flops with or without socks.
That’s how you end up with a broken ankle, surgery, months on not being able to walk and a lot of pain.

I can confirm, flip flops and not sliders, it's a sorry sight. He actually manages to wear thick black socks nicely gathered in between big and little toes. Shudder

Oh god that sounds dreadful.

I adore flip flops, but they're obviously to be worn with bare feet. Obviously.

It gets worse... the attached photo is the actual flip flops and he REFUSES to throw them out 😂 they are stuck together with sellotape... he loves them and says they are really comfy. WWYD? Bin whilst he's at work? Place on eBay? IDK

Is he from NZ? It’s a ‘thing’ there. I quite often do this and it’s comfy as. We had a kiwi mechanic come around to look at one of cars (don’t live in NZ) and he was wearing socks and ‘flip flops’. Safety first, obviously.

One of our cars

Threaten to leave him if he ever wears them in public. And mean it.

Agree that you you'll accept his strange fetish behind closed doors, as the loving wife that you are.

Since when have they been called sliders? They have always been flip-flops to me - both the 'slider' kind and the ones that have the thing between your toes. I heard the term 'sliders' for the first time about a week ago (on here).

I wear socks with sliders unless I've got a fresh pedi honestly since I've bought a pair of sliders I hardly wear other shoes now they are just so comfy and go with everything

Isn't it all the rage among young people now?

Been flip flops since my Nan had a pair of purple Adidas ones then Nike launched them as sliders and been called that ever since. When I hear flip flops I think of the toe separating ones

Geisha! You lot make me laugh, love MNs!

I thought sliders were little burgers.

Bin them, take them out and put them in a public bin somewhere. If you put them in yours he might get them out when he realises.

He looks like he has quite tiny feet?

Socks and sliders have been a thing since at least 2015. I remember because I nearly had hysterics at some lad in the airport when flying to Spain.

No idea when they started being called sliders tho.

He looks like he has quite tiny feet?

Umm....so what, and how do you get that impression with no banana for scale?!

I've located the originator of "Kill him".

It was Hullygully of blessed memory.

Hurrah and huzzah.
