I like shoes and sneakers and probably own more than anyone rightfully should. But I Love sandals! In the warmer months, if I can get away with wearing sandals all the time, that's what I do.

How old are the people now who first started calling shoes "kicks"? I don't think I ever heard it until long after I became an adult.

I really prefer late spring, summer and fall for the reason of being able to not wear socks and just sandals or be barefoot as often as possible

Yup! And as much as I love me some styling pumps, sandals can look nice with alot of things and they don't kill your feet and I can atest to that as I've never had any foot issue and have a near perfect arch, probably from not stuffing my feet into ill fitting shoes on any regular basis.

Skechers are the ONLY sneakers that fit me. Other brands make a wide size, but they're still not wide enough for my Fred Flintsone feet. Skechers are perfect, though.

they're the only brand i've worn for about the last 10 years. every pair i've had fits like slippers, though the pair i bought less than a year a go both have rips in the top of the sneaker above the ball of my feet. some type of defective design. :furious: i need to buy a new pair.

If everyone cared for their feet as I do mine, this wouldn't be a problem.

And if anyone tries to track their dirty shoes all over my apartment I'll be pissed then, too! The polite thing to do is for them to take their shoes off. Granted, their feet could be funky, but least they aren't caked in urban filth.

On my recent much touted trip to the Cambridge area - I realized that rainy Satruday my shoes had cracked open after 7 years of use. They were a good pair but no longer seaworthy. So I got these.
They were $90 which is about my limit but they should last quite awhile. I have the sandals that are beaten up after years of heavy use and I expect another 6 or 7 years out of them at least.
Really great company.

I've been wearing the Jungle Moc for three or four years; I diggem the most. I work in construction sales so I'm on something other than pavement all day but sometimes I have to go into people's brand new homes for problems. They're highly comfortable but the easy on/off makes them my favorite shoe...ever.

I have some nikes of the similar ilk. same basic design (skate shoe if you will) but different color. Have had one pair for 5+ years. I actually bought two of the exact same style in different colors. So i could wear one with the other (red and black so you know)
Back then they did not come with the color matching laces so i had to buy them to match.
Recently i bought a set that are dark purple and grey. love them.
They are so wide too. thats the nice thing. I wear mine everywhere.
