What are your favourite shoes to wear when knocking around in Thailand?

thongs or asics

Thongs are skimpy underwear to me!

 

Any recommendations on the Asics line, and do you know if they post to Thailand?

[Thingamabob]

Wouldn't wear flip flops under any circumstances. They look pathetic on men, and are bad for the farang's image.

OK.

 

Why are your last 2 posts (?) so pointless?  But perhaps you have a good reason or explanation to defend your POV - that you couldn't be bothered to explain?

With all those slippery when wet shiny surface just waiting for me to go arse up the only hope I've got has been to wear scholls slip on's. That when the neighbours dog doesn't get hold of them when I am visiting.

[Lokie]

Scholl Biomechanics (makes you walk correctly) Bean Sandals in brown (leather upper manmade sole)  look smart and really comfortable around 1900 Bhat, got mine two years ago from Robinsons, so happy with them and they are still going strong that I bought another exact same pair but in black (for best) I am currently debating getting some Birkenstock Ramases premium as I like the look of them but don't really need them... I do not put my feet in any crappy cheap flip flop or knock off trainer as it is your health. Trainers I use asiacs they are like slippers and have sturdy Nike tennis shoe for anything needing stronger support. have also a pair of what my mate describes as Mick Dundees lol, an old pair of Clarkes (from UK) slip ons in tan but so comfy are my weapon of choice but alas are about 4 years old now and starting to show it

For some expats here, these seem most appropriate.

You can buy them in Silom at the sports store about 20m from Exit 1 access stairs to the BTS on Silom Road. There are also a few Asic Sport Stores around Bangkok. The sport shop associated with Robinson used to sell them as well but I think they phased them out.

I wear Kayanos, but you need to look at the website and get a brand that suits what sport you play and with Asics they recommend different models for different weight ranges and whether you are a short or long distance runner.

Those who say they only wear flip flops or sandals - do you never take your wife or girlfriend out to a nice restaurant or anywhere like that?

I wore expensive top range Nike's until someone borrowed them during a bangkok temple visit

 

I have high insteps and my feet are prone to blistering unless I'm wearing quality walking/running shoes, except for brief outings.  They're expensive, but keep my feet in shape and let me go distances I could never do in sandals.  Flip flops just not my style except for the pool or the beach.

They wouldn’t be allowed in.

Tods to work. The most comfortable shoes ever. That's 70% of my day. The rest of the time I almost always wear flip flops. Trainers if I am going to the pub or casual restaurant tods to a nicer one.

ECCO shoes , the best shoes for your feet. Danish company but factory is in Thailand. I need big size and they always have some in stock  (Mega Bangna).

Used to wear flip flops but I'm sure this caused me to get plantar fasciitis so a decent leather slip on is perfect

[pigeonjake]

wellies for cleaning pigs,

trainers or shoes if we are going out, dpending were we are going,

yes I do and on those special occasions I put on a pair of socks.

Stilettoes or hob-nailed boots, lime green preferably.

for general everyday things

But some black slip on Skechers if I'm driving anywhere far.

[SoiBiker]

Even by sandal standards, those are ugly.
