What footwear is trendy now?

[inezname]

I really need new shoes and I want something trendy.

I'm thinking Birkenhead soft clogs, with white socks on.

But I'm not sure. I have one pair of LV sunset comfort sandals that I love but I feel bad for wearing them daily, what stylish shoes can I buy? Sort of this style but not too similar.

I live in a warm climate.

Budget is around £70.

Literally everything I've seen on this thread so far is hideous.

I'm quite happy in my cosy Pavers boots and tan/black Adidas Campus at the moment...

I'm inclined to agree with you even though the word 'literally' pisses me off

i think any style of Adidas would be a winner for at least another year, comfortable, can wear with everything... low profile models getting the most praise of late

Sorry 🤣🤣

I've been messing about trying different models lately and I can't get the Spezials or Gazelles to fit or feel comfortable on my feet. Campus are the ugliest but god they're so comfy.

@FletchFan , thanks. I might retreat to Pedants' corner.

Who What Wear is a load of crap and nearly everyone wears adidas where I live, which makes the crocs-wearers look stylish.

Hahahaha I loved them for holidays. So nice to slip on and off when needed to climb steep steps or a hill, and then quickly switch back to cooler flipflops for beach or flat pavements. Not sure my ageing feet would cope with them again, but I wouldn't mind otherwise.

To be fair they are absolutely amazing for walking in hot places. I wore something similar first time I went to Disney Florida in 2012. They looked hideous, but very practical.

Useless?

I overbalanced on heeled mules 25 years ago and can still vividly remember the "crunch" as my ankled folded sideways. Never again.

Aaaand all of these us why I'll be sticking to my ancient Birkies.

I wouldn’t be wearing Birkenstocks in a warm climate, to be honest.

Maybe some Onitsuka Tigers to get away from the adidas overwhelm.
