Rob8891 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'll stick with my 699baht slip on sandals from Big C. Unbelievably comfy, and look the absolute dog's <deleted> when going out for a 99baht breakfast. Should I worry about being over-dressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to why, as they seem the most sensible option in such a hot country? Incidentally, does anyone know whether Teva sandals are available in Thailand?

SoiBiker Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't understand why people feel the need to wear different clothes and shoes here. It's not that hot, especially when you've been here a while and acclimatised. I just wear converse most of the time, same as I do back home. Also, I value my toes too much to walk around on Bangkok pavements all day in sandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissAndry Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Nearly always Reebok running shoes (I have red and black), but I also have some Nike trail runners. As SB says, the Thai roads/footpaths/jungle trails are too dangerous for my toes in flipflops or sandals.

I find sandals to be very uncomfortable. Crocs around the boat or beach. Airwalkers (£15 in Thailand) are very light, exceptionally comfortable and last forever.

Back in the UK I'd wear clothes suitable for the temperature - including socks and boots/shoes for most of the year. On holiday in hot countries I'd wear something entirely different. Personally, I've no desire to ever wear womens' suits or other professional clothing ever again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yep. UK born and bred. It's really not so hot you can't wear shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Mostly I wear a pair of Olakai flip flops.They last for years. The current pair is two years plus and just now showing a bit of wear. But the best footwear I have ever owned. Hands down....I bought two pairs of Mephisto walking boots in 1989. One pair has been in thirty plus country's. Still in great condition. Cost a small fortune but money well spent. Guaranteed for life and they rebuild them if shipped back to the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockwomble Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Nike, Addidas, Reebok or Puma trainers. Crocs, but not the all plastic ones. Hush puppies for smarter occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjoo888 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 During the rainy season, I wear the plastic/ rubber Adda shoes (Croc knockoffs) much of the time. After destroying numerous trainers and other shoes riding my motorbike and wading through puddles, I bought the Adda shoes. Not only are they very comfortable, you only need to rinse or wash them with a little soap to keep them fresh. Yeah, I know they're ugly, but so am I.

1FinickyOne Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I like to switch off and on... whatever suits my fancy at the moment... they have a wonderful exchange program outside of most temples, just leave a pair and take a pair, according to your mood... so many choices.
