Shoes

[Brummie a long time ago]

I liked Scholl sandals, probably couldn't walk in them now! My father didn't like the noise flip-flips make. I find Crocs comfortable for "around the house" instead of floppy slippers.

I also had Scholl sandals and a pair of their clogs.

Julie used to wear Scholl sandals, but is now very much a Crocs wearer. I think she has Crocs for day of the week and circumstance, indoor, outdoor, gardening, bird watching, car servicing. She has the loop in front of the ankle, I wear it at the back of the heel. No way can either of us change to the others way.
Round the house, I prefer socks, (tiled floors here).
One thing neither of us can wear now is the flip-flip that is held on only by the strip of material between the big toe and the next one.

Oh yes, I had exactly the same pair every summer during my early school days in the 1950s. My mother took me up to a shop in Birmingham city centre which I think was called 'Days'.

There is a short thread about Day's shoes

Day's of New Street

Does anyone remember a very high quality shoe shop in New Street, Birmingham called "Day's of New Street" My late Uncle Sid Spencer owned that shop until he retired and sold out.

I recon most households had one. Possibly quite collectible now.

Yes that is exactly what my mom still has. Makes one feel so guilty when we live in such a throw away society these days
