Cooler weather means my Birkenstock look a-likes have been put away and my new M&S trainers have come out!

It’s lovely wearing a pair of new springy trainers..

What have you got on your feet today?

Still barefoot here, not cold enough for slippers indoors.

Outside sandals (except for the gym when it’s trainers), I put off wearing shoes as long as possible (no socks) hopefully the socks and boots will not see the light of day until late October.

Barefoot around the house Birks or flip flops when I go out, sun and 25 forecast today down south.

I wear light ballet slippers, walking boots or trainers depending on what I am doing throughout the day.

Barefoot shoes. I've really taken to these. I wear them all the time. I have barefoot boots with a fleece lining for winter.

I bought new white trainers in the Spring and have not had them on my feet yet as it’s been too hot. I live in Moshulu flip flops. I have them in pink, gold, multi sparkly, navy sparkly. They are so comfy. I usually wear them right through to October.

I also wear these Rieker sandals when I need a little height.

Nothing at the moment, I prefer barefoot in the house in the summer. I have just ordered some new trainers yesterday while I was idling in the afternoon though. I’ve got really awkward, wide feet, one with a bunion which is playing me up. I discovered Wide Fit Shoes do extra wide New Balance trainers, so I’ve got high hopes for a comfortable and relatively stylish Autumn.

Barefoot in the apartment.
These Birks have been my ‘go to’ since I bought them in April.
So, Cost per wear = buttons.

Mosholu Birkenstocks. And, currently, white trainers.

henetha Sun 17-Aug-25 11:16:52

Ancient slippers. Must get some new ones before autumn.

They are similar to my Moshulu ones. So comfy.

Barefoot.

Not sure at what age I changed to that.

Almost all of my shoes are Skechers. Today's are white slip-ins

Sketcher's flip flops as I am in and out of the garden but often bare foot. I would show you but my feet aren't as pretty as some of yours!

Magenta8 Sun 17-Aug-25 11:49:55

What lovely feet all the three barefoot GNs have.

Kate1949 Sun 17-Aug-25 11:57:57

Tatty old Primark flip flops at the moment but last week I bought these. When I grow old, I shall wear purple

Visgir1 Sun 17-Aug-25 12:01:11

The thought of proper shoes again, fills me with dread! Flip flops until it gets too cold.

hollysteers Sun 17-Aug-25 13:01:13

Sliders in the house, trainers if walking outside.
Can’t wear flip flops, they irritate the inside of my toes.

AmberGran Sun 17-Aug-25 13:51:55

Flip flops in the house. Outside a variety of sandals, trainers or ballet flats depending on what I am doing.

tanith Sun 17-Aug-25 14:09:12

Barefoot around the house flip flops or skechers outside.

livelylady Sun 17-Aug-25 16:11:26

Shysal
May I ask where you bought your lovely trainers? I need slip-ons after a knee op, looking for white. Lace ups aplenty but slip ons seem to be rare. Thanks

Oreo Sun 17-Aug-25 16:36:56

Crocs in the house, the open toed ones and often outside as well in Summer, Skechers otherwise for work and comfort.
Heeled sandals of various kinds for social events.

These are my recently purchased sliders. I always wear sliders with a good footbed during summer. They're my indoor sandals.
