Sliders? New word for old fashioned mules!

Battleax · 28/05/2018 20:19

They make me think of institution-bound client groups Blush

We all used to wear similar things called slides though. So maybe the name and the exact shape make the difference?

GrainneWail · 28/05/2018 20:26

Hang on. Is no one else thrown by AnyFucker wearing an ankle bracelet??

(I like your shoes though, remind me of Steve Maddens of yore)

AnyFucker · 28/05/2018 20:34

What's up with an anklet ? 😋

rightknockered · 28/05/2018 20:53

I can't stand them, refuse to do them, wore them in the 90's when I had time to slop around.
I do like the ones BoomBoom linked to below though.

My dad used to wear Dr Scholl sandals in the 80's that look similar to the adidas sliders that are so fashionable now.

He also used to wear them with socks, and my mum used to cringe when he went outside and talked to the neighbours in them.

Oh and what is this weird fashion of wearing them with socks?? It looks crap.

I like yours @AnyFucker!

I was thinking of getting these.

They are cute, twinkle. Mind the front of them are not hard on the instep.

These are the Topshop ones I like but not sure which colour I prefer

Wearing them with sports socks is a nod to their sporting heritage

They are worn when you take off your sports shoes

I like "sliders" as I've just found out they are called.

To me, they're just flipflops but without the "toe-post" which gives me the creeps.

I have these which I bought for holiday and they are so comfy I keep wearing them.i wear them with shorts or folded up jeans.

leccybill · 28/05/2018 23:03

Sliders to me are the plastic pool shoes, and the fashion take on these.

I got a pair from Primark to wear when we go away this week, as a comfier alternative to flip flops. I would wear them poolside and around the house, not sure I would wear them as an actual pair of shoes though.

Your ones @twinkledag are great.

I think it's a bit ugh seeing the rubber ones worn with socks, as seems so fashionable right now. You'll see armies of tough-looking teenagers loitering, and the whole lot of them will be attired like that! It's only a matter of time before one slider has "I love" written on it, and the other says "my socks". I wonder if their sliders would stay on if they needed to run away quickly, or if they'd all have Cinderella moments?

Mind you, my own summer footwear of choice is usually trainers without socks, or Red or Dead shoes (also sockless) which I know some find equally disturbing...

Thebluedog · 29/05/2018 09:15

Saw someone walking around our local park in a pair of fluffy ones. My dp thinks they look like slippers Grin

Heaven forbid ds walks out of one of his as they fight for who can be dive on it the fastest and over the nearest fence it goes

It’s the law apparently

frasier · 29/05/2018 12:40

The rubber ones worn with socks look like they are patients in a hospital to me! I have no idea why I think that but that’s what it looks like!

Pleasebeafleabite · 29/05/2018 12:40

Saw these waiting for flight to Marbs Grin

I got these Skecher sliders at the weekend. It's like having a party on my feet.

According to the how to look expensive thread.... if you happen to give a fuck...they are a no-no ....the blingier the better i say. Make sure to have brightly painted toenails

AnyFucker · 29/05/2018 13:40

I like those, Loonoon

purplelass · 29/05/2018 13:42

I'm so relieved they exist as I can't wear flip flops, they make my toes hurt so much!

Wouldn't be up for fluffy ones though, or ones with anything longer than a trainer sock...

ElspethFlashman · 29/05/2018 13:51

Loo noon those are excellent.
