Dp HATES my flip flops.......What could I buy instead that are comfortable but attractive?

[LoveMyGirls]

Ideally I need a cheap pair of shoes that I can wear with jeans or skirts run round after the kids with etc

Btw I usually tell dp to sod off and i'll wear what I want etc but he's seriously going off me apparently and as we have only just got engaged I think it might be nice to give him a treat

Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

or these? Please help me I'm rubbish at clothes type shopping.

Footing the bill ha ha! We share our money so we're both paying

Oh no don't give up your flip flops, I discovered flip flops last summer and there is nothing as comfy as them. I've never found a comfy ballerina style shoe either.

Some gladiator sandals would do nicely.

like these?

personally i would be a bit wary of satin shoes (in summer, also because they won't last v. long...)

new look have lots of leather ballerinas...(i have a nightmare finding comfy ballerina styles too - must be my hobbit feet again)

Accessorize sells pretty flip flops, there will be some in the sale, worth a try?

sparkle i love gladiator sandles! haven't got any tho

Sparkle thanks for your help but sorry don't think they will be any good, can't imagine me getting those on and off in a hurry, can't afford the £35 either.

Snooks will leather make my feet sweat? I've got a nice pair of hush puppies but they make my feet really sweaty, I do need to start wearing those though actually because they were £50 and I promised I'd wear them and they would last forever.....

Pannacotta its not the look of the flip flops he hates it's the sound, so all flip flops are out

Well i would have thought leather would be the best bet for sweaty feet, but i'm no expert cos i live in my birkenstocks as soon as the weather's warm enough

is there anything in the clark's sale? sorry to be a fogey

what no flip flops - denied!!!!!

My dp said he didn't like my summer bandanas because they make me look a bit American!!??!! Now dd is 2 and because she is a ginge and I am a blonde we both wear them and he says when we walk in the street together we look very sweet!!!

My advice - if you love your flip flops wear them this summer and next summer he will tell you how lovely he finds that little flip followed be the little flop!

Lol no he won't! We've got 2 dd's and dd1 wears flip flops, he doesn't mind hers only mine for some bizzare reason!

Clarks have a sale? I'll have to have a look!

I must admit my sister had a really annoying loud pair last year. Try a few for volume of flip or flop! Mine aren't that loud.

Can't you secure your flip flops to your feet with a pair of stout elastic bands?

or better still, just wear some elastic bands (i do find wearing flip flops feels just like that)

Birkenstocks can be bought from QVC

Sorry to offend anyone but don't like ballet pumps except on small girls and not so keen on crocs either.

Flip flops OK

gladiator sandals -

what about something like this:

cod my current ones are on the floor of my bedroom.

I'll be popping out today to try and find something.

I think cod meant can you show a picture of your current ones.

ohhhhhhhhhhh sorry was still half a asleep! They are just plain black with a weaved bottom.

How about Skechers sandals? They are sooo comfy & I don't think they make a flip flop noise.

My ex used to hate flip flops - now he wears some ugly man sandal flip flop things himself!
