If I really need to go out in the cold winter, it's light-weight Keds, but they do hurt my toes.<br /><br />I have arthritic feet and my sisters who have the same problem are amazed that I can't walk in shoes and the two of them can't walk without them. One wears Birks and one wears soft leather loafers. It amazes me how 'crippled' become once I put anything on my feet.

Because who doesn't like talking about shoes? Especially when accompanied by cute pics. Nice job, Hank.<br /><br />I'm a Keds girl, myself. I have 'em in all colors, and I wear them from May through the end of September without socks. I have a few flip-flops of course (and BTW, my 18-year-old daughter and her friends simply call them "flops") but I've never gotten the hang of keeping them on and have an alarming tendency to lose them if I start walking at my normal brisk pace.<br /><br />I suspect one of the great unheralded generational markers is whether you think flip-flops are for strictly house-pool-beach use or if you wear them everywhere.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553268569509053159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-49862528497381402442011-07-02T14:14:42.764-04:002011-07-02T14:14:42.764-04:00Brenda,

I wear mine in the house because there are a lot of shoes I can't wear since my foot and leg surgery. No flip-flops because I have a scar between my first and second toe. No Hank heels because my foot won't bend enough to fit in anything over two inches. <br /><br />I'll gratefully take any sandal suggestions. No slip-ons, no piece between the toes and no heel. And nothing that looks like an old-lady shoe. How hard can that be? I'm desperate. I will wear these Crocs in public if I have to.Sofie Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830230500527705589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-82154349853321056252011-07-02T10:10:08.951-04:002011-07-02T10:10:08.951-04:00Three summers ago I officiated at the outdoor wedd...Three summers ago I officiated at the outdoor wedding of dear friends here on the coast of Maine where everyone was asked to wear flip flops in honor of the bride, who is a big flip-flop wearer. It was a riot. Elderly grandparents, toddlers and everyone in-between was flip-flopping around. Something of a contest developed over who was wearing the coolest ones. <br /><br />Personally, I find flip flops uncomfortable because of the toe thingy. But for that day I managed to find a pair that was both tolerable and matched my outfit. I wore them during the ceremony and an hour or so of the reception before switching back to my amazingly comfy Ecco sandals.<br /><br />Brenda B.Brenda Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161539130987122737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-41498661639987750982011-07-02T09:43:51.591-04:002011-07-02T09:43:51.591-04:00Yes, Edith, bare feet at the airport..yuck.

I hate looking at feet (except baby feet), so I don't wear anything that shows my feet. I wear sneakers in public or my clogs around the house. <br /><br />When someone mentions espadrilles, I'm reminded of my goofy sister who broke her ankle running down a grassy hill while wearing her espadrilles. I don't think she has worn them since.Melissa Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660227475140255088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-16889824372826288122011-07-02T07:34:04.179-04:002011-07-02T07:34:04.179-04:00Fun Saturday post!

I can't walk barefoot anymore, so I have my slip-on Birkenstocks for in the house and my lovely black buckle-ups for outside (the Rio style, slimmer straps). That's it. Nobody would ever call my footwear fashionable, but I'm way beyond caring about that. <br /><br />The only flip-flops I wear are in the shower and poolside at the gym. After over a year of getting plantar warts lasered off the soles of my feet, I do not go barefoot in public. And speaking of that, for plane travel I have to wear shoes and socks. Creeps me out to see all those bare feet walking through the same screening device<br /><br />EdithEdith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.com
