neverdie Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 So what are your favourite shoes to wear when knocking around in Thailand. in Australia, I like to wear flip flops, thongs, Japanese riding boots or whatever you like to call them, mainly because I always end up somewhere along the coastline with my feet in the water. in Thailand I like something a little bit more substantial on my feet because I never know when I might end up on the back of somebody's bike or motorcycle taxi. what shoes do you like to wear in Thailand? I don't see a need for my Texan cowboy boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Mostly flip flops or Teva sandals that I order from the US..... Leather closed sandals if going out to eat around a beach..... Spikes/cleats a couple of times a week of playing a sport..... When we travelled to France I took a couple of pair of hiking type shoes for day trekking....My feet were so not used to shoes it caused me some uncomfortable walking - and a couple of toenails......

tifino Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) yeah! surrendering the japanese safety boots, in favour of a pair of good leather sandals is a great idea Edited August 6, 2016 by tifino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob8891 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Flipflops in the garden or if we go to the beach, but leather sandals beyond that. The red slingbacks with the 6" heels are only for Saturday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipi Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Flip flops. A different pair for every occasion, including the hong naam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Casually is Converse(Cons as I have always called them) or Onitzuka Tiger tenny's. I seldom ever wear flip flops here and have never in my life owned a pair of "Sandals" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpokaneAl Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Birkenstocks for me. Comfortable, well made, and easy to kick off which is especially important in Thailand.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I wish i could wear any shoes. As my legs dont work anymore, just being able to wear any shoe would be a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I also wanted to add I purposely do not wear or own slip on shoes of any style as I want to always tie my shoes. This will always make me bend over or kneel down and tie them. Same with putting on socks and lacing up my work boots for the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick dasterdly Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 More than anything I'm suprised at how hard it is to find non-slippy (when wet) soles on sandals and flip flops - i.e. rubber soles . Sadly, my main criteria for footwear is that they are non-slippy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
