I’d love a pair of John Lobb Riva
No longer made unfortunately and also rather pricey
Since we have a winterboot thread, I thought this was appropriate.
I'm more of a sturdy boots (R.M. Williams, Paraboot) kind of guy, but since going to Suriname regularly I'm also addicted to good slippers/flipflops. But my employer wasn't to keen about short trousers including flipflops, so I had to find an alternative.
This dandy oldtimer is now going to wear the below pictured footwear when the weather turns nice.....
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

The Dutch shop I bought these had some very nice slippers looking a bit like the John Lobb ones, including the leather soles (had to look the Riva model up) under their own brandname, they operate since 1883.Originally Posted by GOAT

Last year I discovered Hey Dude shoes, unbelievably comfy with great styles and colour schemes.
I have a pair of Wally's and will be adding another colour or two this year.

As soon as the temperatures allow, it's off with the socks and R.M. Williams, and on with the Source Gobis, the sandal equivalent of the RMWs.

‘The perfect holiday shoe
Summer it's Teva sandals, Birkenstock thongs, deck shoes or suede driving shoes a la lounge lizard, trainers for the squash court

Another Teva man here, usually Hurricanes or Winsteads. Their outlet shop is pretty good too.
If I'm going somewhere dressy, I might wear Birkenstocks...

They are brilliant, you can just chuck em
In the washing machine too.
What fresh hell is this?
+1 on Teva's
Boat shoes, slippers and Keen for summer
Fear not Richard, the inns and taverns of the North allow sandal wearing folks to enter!
Keen Clearwater here. For hours on the RIB and the keelboat. The nose perfectly protects the toes and the material is more or less water-repellant. Driving a classic car with the narrow pedal arrangement is something else... I wear not-so-chunky shoes then.
Working in the garden. clogs or wooden shoes. Yes, people still wear them.
In and around the house: Birkenstock. Point is that the first thing I do when I return from work is putting my socks in the hamper. I prefer to walk with bare feet. But that's not always possible (garage, driveway etc), that's where my Birkenstocks come in handy.

I'm chav-meister general when it comes to hot weather wear.
Flip flops are no good to me, I don't like toe posts and need arch support so these slides fit the bill.
I spend a couple of months a year in Florida and they are great for getting out of the pool, washing the beach sand off under the hose or slopping around a shop.
Cheers,
Neil.
Avoiding the 'No Shoes, No Shirts, No Service' shops and restaurants, I guess. Most of them have a 'No Pets Allowed' sign as well, I think.I spend a couple of months a year in Florida and they are great for getting out of the pool, washing the beach sand off under the hose or slopping around a shop.

I switch between a classic Sebago boat shoe (proper ones you can get saltwater on, soak in a bucket and they dry off like new) and chequered slip-on Vans. This has been the case since I was about 16 and now I’m 50 I see no reason to change! Please note this is a strictly no socks situation

Green velvet slippers for me from Ede and Ravenscroft, well more of a house shoe really and quite often wear them down to the shops if I cant be bothered to change

Sebago makes good products. I must have had 10 or 15 pair over the last 20 yrs or so. Problem is: they’re expensive here in Holland and not all sizes (wide) are sold here.

This is true Menno.
Dot has to stay at home anyway.

Ben, you should get some bullion wire initials sewn on to them. I have two pairs - one with RE Ubique officer's beret badges and the other (green) with BD mess kit badges.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
