Anyone wearing sliders?

[twinkledag]

If yes, what with?

Hmm. Where I live sliders are little mini hamburgers....so, no

They are a trend that I hope will go away very soon... can’t stand them!

I would slide off and out of them if I tried, so no!

13 year old dd and her mates are, with trackies mainly

Nice t shirt and ripped jeans

Hope your not referring to those ghastly fluffy sliders that make the wearer look like they have yeti feet.

My 13 year old too. With Nike leggings.

Yes, but not fluffy ones with shorts and a summery top

Yes, I have some fab sparkly ones from River Island

I know they are all over the place but I love 'em... a comfy alternative to flip flops

I am wearing them with rolled up jeans and shorts

Nah. Had some cheapo ones last year for holidays but too insubstantial. I treated myself to a pair of metallic copper birkie Arizonas instead. I LOVE them. They look good with pretty much everything - leggings, boyfriend jeans, slim mom jeans with rolled cuffs, Next harems.

Nope.

The fluffy ones look like slippers and the non-fluffy ones should only be worn by lifeguards.

The UK seems a bit late to pick up on them as a fashion thing as the international students I work with were wearing them 18months - 2years ago

I absolutely hate the cheap ones in the shops but there's something about the striped Adidas ones that have stolen my heart. The red and white ones especially. I don't need them..... But......

They are flip flops.

They either look like slippers or shower shoes. Can't stand them and think pretty much everyone looks hideous in them. sorry.

My DH just asked me why he keeps seeing women wearing fluffy slippers in the street. This thread explains it
AF, yours are lovely and don't look anything like slippers.

Oh interesting, I hate sliders but I like those sparkly ones anyfucker has. It may be just that they're glittery and taking me out of athletic sliderland and into sandals

Yes Adidas striped ones - this is now my third summer in them. Love them. I wear them with shorts and t-shirts in hot weather.

I wear flip flops with anything else. I only like the sporty ones and they are not to be worn with dresses.

Aren't those mules anyfucker? I thought sliders were plastic black and white things? Or am I very old?

I hated them at first and now I have 4 pairs🤨 I can't stop buying them.

2 of them definitely look like slippers but they're perfect for the school run if it's warm 😂

My ds and his entire u14 basketball squad

Great for hot feet post game

What I like about mine is the wide strap that sits high on the foot so no claw foot required to keep them on

Also, the strap is soft and the underneath almost like material so no hard edges when the heat makes the trotters swell

To me sliders encompass everything from a Nike pool shoe to the style in the photo. I always think of a mule as a flat closed toe or open toe but with heel.

Anyway I’m not doing the pool ones as I did it in the 90s but have been eyeing up some Marni style ones in Topshop.

Yours are nice AF but I noticed a whole wall of the stripy ones in Sports Direct this weekend and that put me right off them.

I'm a flip flop girl through and through so no.

But the trend of sportspeople wearing sliders with socks pulled halfway up the shin is seared in my mind and therefore sliders are even more of a no no

Each to their own
