In Australia the term "thong" refers to what we more commonly know as "flip flops". (Irrespective of which name they use I don't like those plastic things that people put on their feet.)

I don't know how anyone can take issue with a flip-flop; situationally, it's a very appropriate shoe.

Don't get me started on Crocs however - the ultimate shoe if you have no self-respect. I think the little holes in them are where your dignity leaks out.

As a person who owns no shoes, I would like to defend the humble Croc. I've been using my very first pair on a daily basis for almost 2 years now. I use them as motorcycle boots, as the rain, mud and dust were taking their toll on my sandals. I can just rinse them in water when I get to work, and then change into my office sandals.

Anyway, big game tonight (3am tomorrow ). I'm just hoping we've got out of the habit of falling in love with ourselves and realise the hard work never stops

Not at all, I do wear wellies down the pigs, but they're a little hot and cumbersome for the bike.

Absolutely not - I'm fully supportive of the ever reliable Wellington Boot; it's a functional and workmanlike option when faced with muddy/wet conditions.

I have some doubts about flowery ones, heeled ones, or turned over ones - but they seem to be worn situationally, usually in combination with denim shorts and a bra at music festivals; a subversion of the original form perhaps, but still functional. I'll get back to you on that.

You wear what you want at music festivals Bren!
