Yep, high socks match. I always thought she was weird with the mismatch, now I realize she is just mindlessly following a trend. I think I preferred when I thought she was weird.

Buddies

Buddies
They cost a $1.99

Yeah, it was definitely Bobos, not Buddies in Philly.

I feel like it ended with something like:
You can buy them
At your local convenience store.

Just to push the point of how cheap they were.

So is the problem with these just the white soles, or am I missing something deeper?

If I ever get invited to the White House, you better be sure my Olukais are coming with me.

If you go back to the top of the thread, yes, the blindingly white soles worn with suits (a la the CBS Sunday Football Crew) is a big thing for me, as is wearing these with just about anything other than casual dress.

They're sighthounds, right? The current first couple seems to love dogs but not sure that's going to be allowed.

The whole line about comfort is bullshit. Women wear wires around their boobs for fuck's sake. Quit bitching about your little peedies being squishy.

I’m old enough to remember when taking your coat off in the Oval Office was an impeachable offense.

That's funny. I HATE walking around barefoot, so another style fad I will just have to miss.

I don't love it in the house. Usually socks work, but I nearly always have a pair of slides handy as well.

About 20 mins into the first episode of the Smartless show on Max, Arnett rips the other two for dress sneakers.

“You guys look like hosts for the NFL Today. Fucking assholes.”

Looked more like an outfit for an 8th grade dance.

(Daughter just had her 8th grade dance, most girls wore fancy cocktail dresses with Chuck Taylors).

Despite absolutely hating the NFL today "dress sneakers" and the photo of Messier and Chelios in suits with Jordans on, I take no issue with Kyle's wedding attire. First, Kyle wasn't wearing a suit, rather a sportcoat. Huge difference. Second, the multiple blues (bowtie, pocket square, slacks, shoes) all compliment each other. Looking good, KD!

They are designed for people who want to wear Crocs, but don't think Crocs are embarrassing enough and want to look even dumber.

I wear shoes for a really long time before getting new ones. So I showed off my brand new sneakers to my neighbor. He said, “Hoka, eh? Kind of adult orthopedic shoes, aren’t they?”

Take solace in the fact your feet feel 1,000,000x better than his.

I think of them as high-end running shoes.

I think of them as shitty running shoes (I haven't really given them a chance because when I try them on it feels like they completely change my running stride, almost like wearing heals). On the other hand I felt the same about Oofos but I forced myself to stick with them because I could feel plantars was coming, and now I like them.

Team Oofos and Team Hoka over here.

Same, although my current every day non-workout running shoes are Italian made Diadoras that I'm in love with, the V7000 model.

I really liked an earlier version of the Hoka Cliftons (6s maybe?) and was less enthused about the 7s.

I think Hoka's are made for people with a specific step or stride. All I know is I took my son to a store that does computer analytics of your feet and watch you run on a treadmill and recommend shoes based on how you stand and run. They have a lot of Hoka's, but told my son they aren't good for him.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Sep 13, 2023 8:57 am

Did the same thing and got recommended the Hokas. So at least we know it's not a northeast conspiracy.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Wed Sep 13, 2023 11:41 am

They do feel like they are changing the pressure points on my feet, which is a bit weird. But probably for the best, because I’d been wearing my old Brooks runners for more than two years. The sales clerk admonished me a bit. “Shoes that worn out aren’t good for your feet.”

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Sep 13, 2023 11:46 am

I'm at that exact same point right now. My Brooks are worn and I've grown tired of them only offering wide sizes in the boring ass colors.

Well, I chose grey for my new ones, because that’s me. But they did have some less boring options.

Do you have this shoe or something very similar?
