Croc sandals are amazing

And I can run in flipflops. Maybe, I'll run the Falmouth Road Race tomorrow in a pair, just for you. I'd love to know why you couldn't run in a pair. Maybe, you can't but other cans. The Luna sandals are essentially flipflops but with an extra string that goes around the back of the heel. Again, you learned something today.

Hell, I'll do the Olympic Tri run leg in September in a pair of my Polo flip flops just to prove this asshat wrong. I'll still finish in under 3h.

Why? B/c like the other tard, you've been proven wrong.

Here are a couple of flipflops that I own and can run in them.

Here's a little hint, if they're snug enough around your foot, you can run in them.

The one's I posted before:

The only difference is that they have a strap for the heel. I bet if I posted them without any context, you would have said that you couldn't run in them let alone 50 miles in them.

Flipflops are possibly the most useless thing ever invented. It is functionally preferably to just not wear shoes.

'But,' you say, 'I want my feet to not have to touch the ground.'

'But I can't be bothered to put shoes on.'

Well, congratulations, you're one useless fuck. Do you also leave your house wearing a jock strap and nipple pasties, because you desire to not be naked, but can't be bothered to put clothes on?

I don't like the idea or aesthetic appeal of flip flops. With that said, your comparisons are ridiculous and not relevant. There are plenty of times where your conditions would both evaluate to true, e.g. walking from your car to the ocean. If the sand is extremely hot, which it often is, your feet can burn and I don't want to wear closed shoes that will forever become infused with sand. Enter sandals. You can make an argument for other types of sandals, but in scenarios such as this the flip flop is easier and faster to put on with no downside.

And there's no such thing as friction, heat build up, moisture, or insulation. Awesome.

Your foot in a shoe is definitely warmer than it would be without a shoe. That's pretty much the whole reason socks and shoes are useful in the winter lol. Heat absorption and dissipation doesn't change because it's summer.

I'm with you - flip flops work perfectly in a river setting if you aren't doing anything serious. Flip flops serve their purpose quite well, actually. I still don't like them and it annoys me that my wife wants to wear them 24/7, but the utility is undeniable if you actually look at it objectively.

When it's 100° out, your feet are gonna be 100°. It doesn't matter if you're wearing boots, sandals, or flipflops. If you were serious about hot weather comfort, you'd wear wool socks, and decent shoes. That way you'll have good protection from blisters.

The air will be 100, the ground will not.

Yah, I like them for grilling outside. I like to walk around the house barefoot because the carpet is soft, but the outside concrete is dirty & hard underfoot. This way I don't have to vacuum :thumbsup:

I use to be big on Hawaiian shirts, but now I have adapted the bowling shirt.

My wife very nearly bought me a bowling shirt the other night (vertical stripe on each side). I told her that and she said "no, it's a Chandler Bing shirt!". No thank you. Do not want either option 😀

They are amazing. I don't even like sandals & do not own a pair because of that. But these were like...wicked comfy. Yay for Amazon Prime! :biggrin:
 
I also love my Crocs (different colour) which I've had for about 2 years.

They're my "go to" weekend attire, waterproof and comfortable. If only I could wear them to the office.

For real? People race in sandals? I can't walk in them without clenching my toes so they don't fall off, that's amazing! 😵

People also run races barefoot but tell those two retards, they won't believe it.

There's a great book called Born to Run, it talks about a group of men from Mexico that run 50-100 miles at a time in a pair of sandals.

Oh, you got me interested in those sandals. They do look comfy.

Yeah, I've seen the barefoot ones, the Vibram ones (dude in my neighborhood runs in them, I always think that Planet of the Apes has started :biggrin🙂, etc...but sandals? Wild. I usually end up stubbing my toes in them, haha.

Yes, they are great. I have no desire to try Croc shoes, but the sandals feel like they were molded for my feet. I'm very picky about my shoes (New Balance or bust! my feet hurt in anything else) and these were fan-freakin-tastic. $25 for a pair of sandals made me grimace, but they're so comfy that I couldn't pass them up. Basically this in footwear form:

You really are a stupid wise and beautiful woman. Do you wipe your own ass, or does someone help you with it? There's zero comparison between running barefoot, and running in flipflops.

Remember what I said about the superiority complex? You're an insufferable piece of shit, and far too full of yourself. You need to pull your head out of your ass because the oxygen deprivation is affecting your interaction with others. That's my free bit of medical advice to you...
 
They banned sandals in high school, but I said fuck it and wore 'em anyway. One prick said to me I wasn't suppose to wear them. I shrugged and said so sue me.

What a stupid thing to say.. I wear sandals pretty much every damn day here in Florida.. they are great. Feels weird having regular shoes on.
