OK, until now, I thought Crocs were the most ridiculous looking shoes...

yeah when i go downtown charleston they are the new "look at me" for the hipsters. its become more of a trend than anything else around here. i work for a doctors office and both my docs run and recommend these shoes. i also "free run" or parkour on the side and a few of the guys wear them. dont have them myself but dig the concept.
 
I keep hearing that about the smell. I have the Treksports, and they don't smell any more than any other shoe. I think the polyamide upper on the KSOs must be the reason. The Treksports have coconut fiber uppers. I feel like such a hippie :(

I'm still getting used to the forefoot strike, after years and years of running on my heels. I have to admit, until I get into my stride, I feel like I'm prancing around on my tiptoes. Once I get into it though, it feels more natural and I can run farther and easier than I ever did before. The first few days of it killed my calves, but they feel great now.

I'm totally convinced.
 
HAHA so all this talk about these made me have to see for myself ;) ill let ya know. so comfortable so far!

I was kinda waiting for someone to just.. say that, in true form. Thanks Louie. With that said, I'm not going to go that far lol, but I ran into a couple highschool kids (i'm 25... I can say highschool kids about 16-17 year olds now) at Oreily's (local auto parts store.... i'm sure you all know that.) that were my size... 5'10, 220, basically... 20-40lbs over weight, not runners, obviously, wearing these shoes around town as just regular shoes. I could Never wear those just as daily shoes and feel that secure.


With that said, the pro's for athletic reason make complete sense, and I acknowledge them for their purpose. Nike was started because they made running shoes for a kid that ran the fastest in the world/us or something, and then-on became a huge rich company. Not from high-tops with croc skin and silver nike checks. (Yes... i have a pair of these that sit in a box and never even get worn, early 90's retro!) :)

When it comes down to it, they're just shoes. I'm not sure I'd want to "hump" someone who's opinion of me was swayed purely by my shoes. But, I'm sure I'm in the minority when it comes to that.
 
What ever... I think they're lame. Style is something I'm proud to take pride in. Garage Rat, I dont think you get laid... Period. Dirty Frank, I'm married... But, My wife wouldn't have given me the time of day with those things on my feet. She's shallow, just like me...

My wife and I joke all the time about what we call "Deal Breakers". These are a perfect example...

Lou
 
hahaha this thread is even getting defensive over these thinks! Louie, you picked the wrong thread to mess with sucka!
 
I could give 2 shits... Those things are ridiculous.

Though I'm a polar opposite of any one who runs. I dont consume spandex, under armor, nike, blah, blah, blah... I smoke 2 packs a day, my diet consists of something similar to John Waynes or Elvis'es.

wingtips, creepers, mokey boots, tuks, Grip Fasts etc. Are my foot wear of choice.

I've yet to see these in public. But I'm not looking forward to what ever I'm drinking @ the moment coming out my nose.

We are all def different. Which is a good thing... I can laugh @ you, you can laugh @ me.

IMO these fall in the Prius, Obama care, liberal, Rocan, tofu, Shape-ups category.
 
I'm all for getting my large self in shape, but I'm pretty sure I won't be wearing the Terminator's toe socks to do so.

LMFAO Terminator toe socks!


And yeah... i'm on Louie's diet my self... they don't make a shoe that compensates for two packs a day and weekly hell raising and club closing.

Thats probably not in your best interest... haha

If I'm going to be a hero, maybe I should start setting a better example. Crap... There goes all the fun.

Tofurkey doesn't sound very appetizing.
 
I have some friends who wear them while climbing, they like them. Also, a guy in my capoeira group wears them when we play outside... I've only heard positive things about them.


I could care less what they look like if they perform as well as people say they do.


I used to smoke two packs a day, drink whiskey straight and have John wayne's diet, but that was 70 pounds ago.
 
yeah honestly i dont smoke a pack a day or drink.. used to. my wife is shallow too but 15 pounds down and REAL six pack later she is cool if some ridiculous shoe keeps that up. my vintage leather boots do the trick on my cafe and the meets but anyone can hate if they want when my light weight foot meets there ass in my "lame" shoes. granted i will be wearing my to work out so i cant speak those who wear them "out". stir the pot or enjoy yourself then eat some damn soup.
