Is this a 'thing' now? Saw two women in town on Monday and now a woman on tv tonight.

Like this or with high heeled sandals? Have never seen it and I don't want to. I think it's only a look that Shoreditch hipsters can pull off and even then it's a bit fugly

My niece wears Adidas sliders with socks. A colleague at work told me that when they worked in a prison, that's the look they all had!!!

But surely the adage goes: 'If it's warm enough for sandals, it's too warm for socks...'

That's my back garden look - had no idea I was so on trend Grin

After the blisters I got from go walk trainers and no socks I may be adopting this look in the summer surely no one will judge me too much when they see my swollen pregnant ankles

It's fashion, innit.

MagnumAddict · 04/05/2017 22:52

Because it's sooooo comfy!

I kind of wish I had the balls to sport this look in public but I suspect I'll keep it out of sight in my garden!!

Maybe they're footnering? But we just think it's a tragic attempt at hip?

MagnumAddict · 04/05/2017 23:00

Definitely footnering honeydragon, anytime I see modelesque hipsters in this look ill now just think they are hiding hideous trotters Grin

AgeingArtemis · 04/05/2017 23:01

ONLY acceptable if you are slipping on some sandals to hang out the washing/take the bin out

Teabagtits · 04/05/2017 23:19

I'd rather see socks than gnarly fungal toenails!

SimplyPut · 05/05/2017 09:25

Ha, every time I see one now I will think 'manky feet 👣' or 'ah, footner time' Grin

I'm not into the look fluffy posted, it looks too European touristy for me but it can look kind off nice with heeled sandals in a 70s kind of way, with saying that I'd never do it!

Frilly ankle socks past primary school look ridiculous.
