Erm... get a pair of winter boots. Wear your flipflops indoors where it's warm.

Or find flipflops with a huge platform so that you are elevated over any snow or puddles Grin

Uggs.

ScaryFucker · 11/10/2010 22:35

er, not really, no

scurryfunge · 11/10/2010 22:37

You can get furry Ugg flip flops....but I would just wear boots tbh.

BunnyLebowski · 11/10/2010 22:37

Um.....these?

MissDolittle · 11/10/2010 22:44

crocs? mammoth blitzen polartec

I know they are crocs, I am just trying to be helpful and they are sort of like warm flip flops, possibly.

BunnyLebowski · 11/10/2010 22:46

'mammoth blitzen polartec'

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that's not the correct line-up of Santa's reindeers???

Lollylola · 11/10/2010 22:46

Fitflop superboots.

Wellies?

Birkenstocks:

with closed toe.

And Oy Vey all those crocs are fucking hideous.

I'd rather scrape my bare frostbitten feet along the street, necrotic toes dropping off as I go, than wear any of those. Jesus wept.

deathjeff · 11/10/2010 23:02

As if I didn't hate crocs enough to start with!

They are hideous!!!

pancakeisuptheduff · 11/10/2010 23:08

Clogs?

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 11/10/2010 23:12

Boots surely are the equivalent, because they are the thing most suited for the weather and underfoot conditions, in the way that flipflops are in the summer.

Crocs are vile and should be made illegal IMO.

bishboschone · 12/10/2010 08:28

Thank you ,I have uggs but they don't fit under jeans in the casual way flip flops do. Never mind I guess what I want doesn't exist ,thanks anyway

Get skinny jeans and stick them in your Uggs.

Scroll down to the sheepskin lined ones ...

LynetteScavo · 12/10/2010 11:11

But don't scroll down any further, or your eyes will be subjected to "ward clogs" which are the reason I didn't become a nurser. Wink

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/10/2010 11:12

UGGs

bluecardi · 12/10/2010 11:14

what about slip on shoes like penny loafers or mary jane type shoes?

bishboschone · 12/10/2010 12:32

yeah , like I said I have uggs and skinny jeans. I like wearing my flip flops with my Diesel jeans as they just look better than any type of shoes. Prob birkenstocks are the nearest thing, shame I dont like them.

pancakeisuptheduff · 12/10/2010 22:51

Or stick with the flip flops and get some tabi socks off ebay. (Seriously considering this myself as pregnant feet have out-swollen all other shoes.)

cece · 12/10/2010 22:55

I have been wearing my Birkenstocks with socks on the school run Blush

Not sure it is the most stylish of options but dam it is comfy Smile
