i like to wear them from time to time, typically with capri length pants and sandals. Are they still "in"? Do you wear them both at the same? Do YOU were either or both?

I say wear what you like no matter what's "in" or "out." Things only become "in" because someone was brave enough to wear something that wasn't "in" to begin with.

Nay for me because the feeling of it would drive me crazy. BUT you do what makes you happy and don't worry about what's "in". Plently of things that were "out" are now popular so maybe you will start a trend |

Wear what you want! Men here wear socks with sandals year round. It's ok. If you like it then only you matter, right?  |

I think it is going to be regional to be honest. I don't think foot jewelry like ankle bracelets and toe rings ever go out of style in Hawaii... and they are never in style in Oklahoma where cowboy boots never go out of style not matter the year OR season.
If YOU like them and feel they make your feet look good, rock the look! Be a trend setter.
Eta: I don't wear either because I have ugly foot issues so I don't wear sandals, open shoes that would be appropriate for foot jewelry, or go barefoot. I think they look good on other feet, just not mine. I have a problem with swollen ankles and super dry skin that looks flaky and calloused. I don't want to call attention to my feet.

I just put one of my toe rings back on after 5 years (pregnant twice in there) and when I find the other it'll go on too. I have TONS of anklets ranging from chunky vintage Swarovski down to simple thin chain. I love them! Oh, I make them all too. I wear them every single day unless I'm wearing boots or tennis shoes. Summer I'm barefoot or in flip flops. |

I have a stainless steel toe ring on my middle left toe that has been there since I bought it in Australia in September 2007. I took it off once for an MRI in 2013 (and had them test it, so I knew I didn't have to remove it for future MRIs). I left in place during three surgeries and hardly even notice it's there unless it twists upside down (happens every few days).
I had another one that was on my #2 right foot starting in 2005 that was not removed until 2014 when I severely sprained that ankle (actually chipped off the tip of my fibula) while on vacation in Versailles and my whole foot and ankle swelled up and the ring was starting to cut into my swollen toe too much. It broke when I took it off, so that was the end of that one...
So....yes. I am a fan of toe rings.

For the record, I've never worn either.

I think that this may be true...I see a lot of ankle bracelets here too. I am in flip flops pretty much 10 months of the year and have several that I wear. (and I don't have cowboy boots.  ) |

I don't see them around here too often so I don't think it's "in" where I live (Nashville). But wear them if you love them!

I've worn a thin gold toe ring on my left middle toe for around 14 years; I never take it off.

 You have no idea how refreshing it is to read about something I love here and not see that the only people that wear them are "OLD". Pins/brouches are just one example I can think of. I always wore pins but now I just feel "out of style and old" when I try one. I can't do a lot about the "old" part and I am sure as heck no fashion plate but I can't seem to get past it after reading the thread here about them. |

Love toe rings, ankle bracelets not so much. I don't like the way they feel. I think everyone should wear what makes them happy.

This is the first time in over 40 years that I have not had a toe ring on either one or both of my feet. I usually wear them until they break from being so thin and worn and then I buy a replacement. Two weeks ago, I had to get an Xray of my right foot and the technician had me remove it. I've never taken one off while it was still a solid unbroken ring. My gosh, removing that ring was painful! That one had probably been on for at least 15 years or more. I typically get them at the Sawdust Festival that is held in Laguna Beach every summer. I wear them until they fall off, then I get replacements. It was just so painful to get off that I haven't attempted to put it back on again. I will probably just go to the festival in a few weeks and get some for each feet again.
I also love ankle bracelets. I say wear them proudly!

Absolutely NOT on the toe rings! Hate them. Can't stand anything between my toes. Hate flip flops too. Have worn the occasional ankle bracelet but not regularly. Don't care if others wear toe rings or ankle bracelets.

I don't care for toe rings but I like anklets. Haven't worn an anklet in years though. I say if you like them, wear them!

Neither in nor out. For me they are like finger rings and bracelets, wear them if you like, don't wear them if you don't like them |

Haven't seen toe rings in ages (but then, it isn't often warm enough here to wear shoes that will show them off. ) but anklets are cute!

I love my silver toe ring but I've never really liked ankle chains though, for some reason.

It's not something I would wear because I don't like the feel. For the record I don't wear a watch or bracelets either. But.....if it is something you want to wear I say go for it!!! I've seen some really pretty pieces

I personally don't like them and don't wear them. Last time I wore an ankle chain I was about 15yo and I thought they were so cool so they seem kind of juvenile to me now. I've never worn a toe ring...and at the time there was an association with lesbians & toe rings, for some reason they were more popular in that group. I don't think any of my friends wears either one now, or if they do I haven't noticed. Don't care if anyone else wears them they don't bother me in anyway, but if I see it on a more mature woman (40+), I'll probably think something along the lines of "older gay lady trying to relive her youth"  |
