Wouldn't be seen dead in them !

I have a pair of black patent stilletos; I tried to charity shop them recently but couldn't; I now just look at them and sigh . I haven't tried M&S recently. I know their comfort shoes are pretty good.

Sorry, Nonnie, meant to add 'welcome back' to my post

Ana not sure I'm back properly, either that or I need my eyes tested. I missed the 'i' in your post!

Tegan many years since I tried M * S shoes but when I did they were the most uncomfortable ever so haven't been back. I'll stick to their undies!

Have just looked inside my summer shoes which I have worn without any pop socks or other unmentionables today and they still feel fine. They are not very glamorous, navy blue with a bar across, but obviously comfortable as I find it impossible to find shoes that don't make my feet hurt; they are last year's Flyflot shoes.

I have nerve damage in my feet and have been advised to wear high fronted shoes so

THESE

and

THESE

are my summer shoes as well as my trusty fit flops.

I've just bought some Sketchers 'Go Walk' pull on shoes, light as a feather and very roomy -bliss!

Just a little word of warning, I have had three not pleasant falls the latest yesterday. Each one was when I was wearing flip flops - not the cheap rubber kind. The first fall was wearing fit flops in the wet. Quite funny really I was walking our new lurcher puppy, she saw something interesting and took off at greyhound speed with me attached to the lead. She dragged me along on the grass to the feet of a rather handsome dog walker. Strong dog as I am no lightweight.

Sorry I digress. Second fall left me with broken nose, etc etc. yesterday's effort was embarrassing but fortunately left me with nothing worse than scarred knees. The upshot is flip flops are OUT for me.

Just to clarify, mine are Flyflots. Can't wear flip flops, not even the ones with the strap across, definitely not the ones that go between the toes. It would be wonderful to have strong well-shaped feet.

Wellies can be dangerous as well, especially if you try to run in them as DH did when he was younger.

Oh, Birkenstocks are so comfortable Baubles and they do some lovely styles.

I hate flip-flops, crocs and the like. I need arch support - how on earth can anyone drive in flip-flops or bare feet?

I wear thongs (flipflops) most of the time in summer - love 'em. This morning I went to Debenhams as I had a £10 voucher to use and came out with a pair of Sketchers Go Walk trainers to use for walking instead of my winter boots. I have had them on all day minus socks and it's like walking on air - the best £54 ( less £10) that I have ever spent!

I do agree with anodomini about crocs for round the house, except mine are not the genuine article but some cheaper version I bought for a few pounds. Useful on holiday too, ideal for trekking across a muddy campsite and no great loss if they get left behind by accident. I've also taken mine into hospital as bedroom slippers - easier to take on and off and less sweaty in a hot room.

Sadly I have had to give up heels to help my poor arthritic knees. Also bunions put paid to nice shoes. I do have lots of nice bags though!
What to wear on a warm but drizzly day with a dress? Can't wear sandals due to wet and can't wear trainers with a dress. I am trying out wide ballet pimps with small heel but the foot liners always show.
I love wearing boots that cover my feet up. But I am not wishing away the summer.
