I own a Camper Sandals and i must add that it's joint friendly. i have a hip problem i can walk all day with. it's just well made.

[MIKExMASSACREx]

Very disappointed they are recomending an American brand of huaraches instead of Mexican, they are Mexican in origin after all definitely not Peruvian

Who knew all those years ago when my dad and granddad wore socks with sandals and we laughed, they were just ahead of their time, setting future trends.

I've just gone and bought 3 birkenstocks.

As someone with hyperhidrosis, wearing sandals without socks is the worse feeling ever.

[SeDonspeed]

As a German I find it hilarious that we as tourists got shit for so many years, because we were always loving sandals and combining them with Tennis socks.

Nowadays, its considered cool...
That's so odd to me.

There’s a style of sandle that I’ve been looking for and I was hoping he would have brought it up! It was a very simple sandle with the exception that it had a ring at the big toe and the everything else was free!

Huarache Sandles🩴 or huarache shoes👟. Anyways the speaker could’ve added the Draco slides. Brand new & exclusive. Mines got stolen so you know they’re up on tier

[ayywolf]

I think mules and clogs are quite underappreciated because people just brush them off as ugly or unflattering. The moment you try them on and wear them you'll fall in love with them. Comfortable, I think they look good and they're incredibly handy and easy to put on when you're hopping out.

[MTNorville]

socks, sandals and slacks? Nah... But quality leather Flip Flops and some jeans with frayed ankels? Oh yeah.

[panchosayson]

[Calispeedboi]

[EitherOrr]

I feel dress sandals can be worn in hot weather, Caribbean countries and Miami

[strangerfacestark]

Those Prada sandals are $600?! They look like the bargain Crocs you get at a drug store.

[Frankyz]
