Just that really. What’s your go-to shoe for every day at the moment?

Animal print crocs. I also have them in snakeskin strappy sandals and in a tiger print heel.

Trainers, I have converse and new balance.

Have worn my Dr Marten sandals once, it's mainly been too cold so far this year.

BestIsWest · 18/05/2023 18:13

Trainers, mainly Fitflop Rally. Fake Birkenstocks.

mangomama91 · 18/05/2023 18:15

I live in my vans or doc martens

JofraArchersFastestBall · 18/05/2023 18:49

Dr martens Mary Janes, a light brown pair that (I think!) look good with cropped trousers or skirts.

Nice to have a casual summer shoe that doesn't need me to paint my nails or shave my toes 🫣

mysonsmother82 · 18/05/2023 22:06

Puma mayze or Birkenstocks. Done with boot's until Autumn:)

alloutofcareunits · 18/05/2023 22:41

NB 327s, Nike Air Force 1s, Birkenstocks and Dr Marten sandals

Noneedtobemean · 18/05/2023 22:44

Fitflop F mode trainers. Love them! I'm thinking of buying another pair in a different colour.

bbyno2 · 18/05/2023 22:54

Crocs or vans

I’ve officially decided that I don’t really like wearing trainers as I don’t like how they feel on me, so I’m bloody buggered.

I’m okay with sandals sometimes but only in proper hot weather not this in-between weather. What’s the solution to a lighter casual shoe if you don’t do trainers and Converse etc?Confused

I want the answer to this too!!

Merrell walking shoes, they’re the only thing that doesn’t hurt at the moment. Also arch support slippers in the house. Oh, the glamour!

Nutellaonall · 18/05/2023 23:34

Varying between high top trainers and chunky sandals at the moment.

petermaddog · 19/05/2023 01:35

clogs and docs

Whowahway123 · 19/05/2023 01:58

@PuppyMonkey im with you!

I just can’t get on with trainers or casual type converse type. I really really really wish I could! But on my size big 8s (43 are comfiest) I cannot get over looking down and seeing some great whites on my feet.

I live in DMs boots for Oct - March and DM sandals from April - Sept.

i would love to rock a pair of NBs or Stan Smiths but I just look and feel wrong. Croc echos intrigue me, but I just couldn’t!

coxesorangepippin · 19/05/2023 02:39

A selection of fake Toms, sandals and furry boots. Yesterday we had snow flurries, 25 degrees next week

Loafers and trainers in various colors. Sandals occasionally

Suede ballet flats in black or pale blue or pink. Comfy, light after a winter of boots, and I can run for a train in them 🙂

Can I ask where you get them from. I'm considering ballet flats but can't find any that I like
Thanks

BuffyTheCat · 19/05/2023 03:37

Vans, Converse, Doc Martens, a couple of pairs of loafers I’ve had for 15 years, Mary Janes, Birkenstocks, white Adidas sneakers (I keep hearing they’re going out of fashion but I refuse to care), several pairs of suede boots in various colours that I find really comfortable and so I wear them throughout the summer unless it gets actually hot. I also have several pairs of brogues that I love and will continue to wear even if people point and laugh.

blahblahblah1654 · 19/05/2023 03:44

Ballet flats. Have been wearing them for years! Not a fan of these new balance chunky trainers. They make me look like I have clown feet! I tend to wear dresses to I think ballet flats look better on me.
