Shoes with shorts

[iona]

What's wrong with deck shoes , decent ones obviously, worn with deck shoes?

Nothing, in this purely hypothetical world where decent deck shoes exist. They're all shit IRL though.

I just looked up deck shoes because I didn't know what they are.
Possibly the worst shoes in the universe. Particularly when worn with shorts.

I'm with you.
All of them are dreadful.

I share your dislike of the gaudy ones. But like the beat-up leather ones.

I struggle to love any mocassin type footwear tbh.

Life rule: Never wear flip-flops or anything with a toe post. Ever.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Clarks Jinks, innit.

This is bullshit. Flip flops feel like freedom

Havianas ftw. Yes I'm one of those cunts

 

[Spymaster]

Havianas ftw. Yes I'm one of those cunts

Don't get me wrong, they're the perfect beachwear for 4 year old girls!

Havianas

What are those?

[farmerbarleymow]

They are a bit bright.

 

[Spymaster]

They are a bit bright.

Marketing genius though. They have a shop on pretty much every beach in Europe and sell them by the ton at 20 quid a pop when they cost pennies to make.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Yeah those ones are rank tbf

No, they're extremely uncomfortable and the noise they make is intolerable

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Wear your shorts Kiwi style....with wellies

 

[Spymaster]

Aye. How can anything with a lump of rubber/plastic between your toes ever be comfortable?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

You funny fucker

I beg to differ, and worn with office shirts such as RL Polo, M&S Blue Harbour, Fatah or Barbour Twill shorts an entirely acceptable indeed pretty sound combo.

Noticed several people wearing shorts, shoes and socks today. Looked odd to me, to the extent that I had to ask my daughter if it was a new thing.

Espadrilles are the ultimate sock free summer footwear choice.

I don’t really understand this thread - are you not meant to wear shoes with shorts, or are there some restrictions of some kind?

Like the Pirate Code, they're more guidelines than actual rules
