Shirley it depends on where you're going? If you're off a beach holiday you'll not want to wear trainers on the beach?Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostMe and the missus are having an argument. I hate wearing sandals or flip flops. Wearing trainers with shorts on holiday, are they acceptable?

I'm off to Malta on Saturday, will I be taking my trainers, of course I will be.
Will I be taking my barely worn sandals, will I f**k.

I said before a mile, the chaffing began almost immediately but I soldiered on. The beach was approaching a mile away and I don't recall how near to the goal I got before I went Zola Budd.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostIs it possible to walk a mile in flip flops?
