Kilt socks scrunched down or?

Sandals are all you need this time of year. Let your feet breathe a little.

I'm with Martin on this one! If it's too hot for hose and regular shoes, I don't feel like boots are gonna be any more comfy!

I am unlikely to sport sandals though, I just wear short socks and sneakers (trainers) when it gets 90-95 degrees F and up.

I don't wear sneakers unless I'm actually at the gym. I wear sandals most of the time, but usually with a linen shirt and shorts. Something about the kilt and very low (or visually small) footwear doesn't work for me.

Plus, boots are comfy if properly broken in. AND, when games are hosted at boggy sports pitches (ie ALWAYS, at least round here), boots come in awfully handy. It's easier for me to buff and polish my boots than it is for me to clean a pair of sandals inside and out.

I'm with you on this one Artificer, it's a pet peeve of mine to see sneekers/trainers/sport shoes with kilts. It doesn't matter with socks up or down, short socks, long socks.

Go Docs for those muddy days

Should have known better, like what?

Like the Beatles? Like Jim Diamond? Or Sick Puppies? Maybe Richard Marx?

What's her name, and is she hot? Pix or ban.

Hey, ask a question here, I guarantee you'll get an answer

My answer? Socks up. Which side of your bread do you choose to put the butter on?

And if you give an answer here, someone will disagree.

Should have known better than to mention sneakers.

Must add it to my list of things it's just not worth bringing up around here! Not a big deal, I was a little cranky that night and I forgot that some of our membership finds the most ubiquitous footwear in America so plebian.

All I wanted to say, is while boots certainly have their place, I find the pairs I own (at least the ones that are presentable) a bit too warm for my comfort as general wear in the Texas heat.

Dunno about washing being any easier but I know that sandals don't offer any ankle support at all.

If I'm working a door at a club or going to be standing/dancing for long periods I'm pretty durned certain that it will a) be hot and b) I'll want the ankle support.

I prefer boots for that sort of thing.
