: what's on your fEEt?
tripster 05-29-2003, 08:26 AM If only it was legal to drive bare-footed.
What's your favorite driving shoe?
I load my E for a weekend of fun with seasonal sports gear (hiking boots, ski boots, bike shoes, etc.). But I love driving my E wearing my Havana Joe sandals with socks! :D
StLouisPenguin 05-29-2003, 09:31 AM I have Adidas Sandals on if that matters....but I had my running shoes on about 10 mins ago before I hopped in the shower after my bike ride :)
So what doe sthat say about me???
Do Tell...I am dying of anticiaption!
foxtail 05-29-2003, 09:55 AM I don't see a category that fits my Merrell clogs, which are all I wear, unless absolutely forced into dressing up...and even then I prefer my Merrells.
Sunstoke 05-30-2003, 02:53 PM I ALWAYS wear my Birkenstocks, I take the right one off when I drive though! 8)
Aykew 05-30-2003, 02:57 PM I'm with Foxtail... Merrels all the way! (Unless I'm wearing my land's end lookalikes!)
pedsflightrn 05-30-2003, 03:19 PM Okay, I confess!! :oops: I'm a shoe addict! Although usually "sensible" shoes. I tend to stay away from heels and such. But I do have a large selection of Birks, running shoes, sandals. Just went on vacation and took 5 pairs of shoes with me and bought a pair while I was there!! Is it time for Shoe Buyers Anonymous?!
My Merrells would be on my feet if I had not just taken my hiking boots off. I just got back from a 5 mile hike in the rain.
Hawaiian E 05-30-2003, 05:38 PM How about Swim Fins, or Reef Walkers, or Fishing Tobbies? Thats what I usually got on. For those yet to experience it, the E is perfect for SCUBA. Don't have to worry about getting the inside all wet, ahhh I love it.
tripster 05-31-2003, 09:50 PM Oh no, the roads are clogged..
isketerol 05-31-2003, 10:21 PM All of my shoes are Rockports. I love their fit and feel, and the fact I can get them at a discount mall. :D
foxtail 05-31-2003, 10:54 PM Yeah, IskiE, I used to wear Rockports....till I discovered Merrells. (Available at Hush Puppy outlets in the US)
And Hawaiian E, if the weather ever decides to cooperate here, I'll be able to confirm that the E is a good Dive-Machine. Rain, rain, go away...and don't come back!
wodock 06-01-2003, 04:43 PM I used to wear Rockports then I switched to Merrell's BUT now I wear Naot's the most comfortable shoe in the world. But I like barefeet the best only I can't do it for work or in the cold...
Have fun
janus285 06-02-2003, 02:46 PM Usually Birkenstocks (have 10 pairs!) or else Chaco sandals. Recently picked up a pair of Chaco flip flops too, so that's about it. (Except for those moments when I have to be professional and look like a psychologist - then it's Rockports).
Cloak 06-02-2003, 04:07 PM It's hard to find a good pair of hiking boots for these poor 15EEEE feet, so I'm stuck driving in my New Balance cross-trainers.
misfit 06-02-2003, 04:43 PM DM's,,,,(doc martins).... rosey fresh scent.... :shock:
TheLusciousHellcat 06-02-2003, 06:26 PM ....like to be comfortable!
I'm really a reverse shoe snob. I don't care what's fashionable - I care what really wears well, feels exceptionally comfortable, and does the job I need them to.
I have Sketchers black leather ankle boots I love for winter. Also: Ariat,
For summer, Born sandals, Doc Martens sandals, Birkenstocks, and a dressy pair of Josef Seibel slides.
lon777 06-02-2003, 08:14 PM I only wear Birkenstock clogs and sandals. They're like my E - funky and comfortable. :D
hawaiigirl 11-06-2003, 02:21 PM :D Barefoot! Lucky to live in Hawaii!
hownowcb 11-06-2003, 09:59 PM I've been told that for a guy I seem to have a lot of shoes, but we've got, like, maybe 36 different seasons here, so it may be anything from Reefs flipflops to Sorel knee-high snowmobile boots, or anything in between. And sometimes it will be an entirely different season in the afternoon than it was in the morning. Thankfully, my entire collection of footwear doesn't exceed 675 pounds, though. Yet.
Kayakin' Dan 11-06-2003, 10:37 PM It'll be a cold day in hell before I wear sandals. Sandals look like gender alternative footwear on guys. No exceptions. I wear NRS neoprene boots when I kayak, boots when I'm not.
hownowcb 11-06-2003, 11:29 PM I own two pair of neoprene boots for sailing the Hobie in cold water, but you ought to let the stinkin' toes air out every once in awhile. It won't raise your voice an octive. (And maybe eight pairs of Nike aquasocks for the Hobie and Personal Watercraft applications, both stand-up and sit-on versions.)
Dive Hawaii 11-06-2003, 11:44 PM I get sand or dalla-tree eighty slippahs from Longs 8)
I had a pair of shoes but I can't find them
lae10851 11-07-2003, 12:01 AM what - noone came up with polish yet - not even hownow?
I love my skechers for around town, but when i drive a long time ) like say Anchorage to California, I wear Birkenstocks sandals - with or without socks depending on the season!
dmcarley 11-07-2003, 10:03 PM Always Doc Marten's. I have several styles from dress shoes to boots.
They are the only comfortable shoes for my extra wide feet.

Dude, I'm the last person to be callin' a homophobe. I just think shoes without toes are for chicks. Or guys who wanna be chicks. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
keckhanded 11-08-2003, 02:28 AM I have 2 pair of Birkenstocks. My wife got me my first pair in 2000 for my birthday in May. I had badly broken my ankle feb. 29 and was'nt allowed to put weight on it until Sept. not the best present at the time but I have'nt stopped wearing them. I recently baught a new pair so now I have the loose pair and the snug pair ah life is good. as for sandals I can't wear them I always think I'm going to scrape the tops of my unprotected toes.
hownowcb 11-08-2003, 11:56 AM That's what the polish is for: covering up the scrape marks on your toenails, ya big keckhanded dummy! JK! And K' Dan, size 13EEE black patent leather stiletto heeled pumps are for the real guys who wanna be chicks!
keckhanded 11-08-2003, 06:11 PM Not scraping my toe nails hownowcb silly . scraping the flesh from the tops of my toes while climbing, biking etc.

wodock 11-09-2003, 08:15 PM I wear Naot's - most comfy shoes ever....when I work trade shows and am on my feet for 10 or so hours at a time there are know problems at all. There is something about Naot's were made by Birkenstock but Birkenstock gave the designs to Israel to make up for the past. Something like that.
They maybe ugly but the sure can dance....

SeattleE 01-31-2004, 11:36 PM Naot's are the greatest things since Birks!
Never heard the story 'bout the connection though...and I bought my first pair at the Kibbutz where they're made!
other than that, it's (in order):
Birks
Chacos
hiking boots
then there's the specialized footware, ie ski boots, tele boots, rodeo socks(for whitewater kayaking)...etc...

Maximo Park 08-14-2005, 10:46 PM Sandals, but I always take them off and drive barefoot. Wearing shoes to drive is equivalent to wearing gloves to steer. :grin:
horseygal 08-16-2005, 01:06 PM I were so many different shoes with so many different purposes:
70% Ariat riding boots - when I'm gonna ride or working at the barn (5-6 days a week)
20% dansko's - when I'm just at the barn- not riding
5% croc's - any other time
5% sneakers - when I'm running- 1hr/day
chimphappyhour 08-16-2005, 07:21 PM Chaco's for everyday and tourist hikes
Nike Air Peg's for running street
Montrail's for trail running shoes, serious hikes and work
Addidas indoor soccer flats for kung fu, bars and work

Texas Jon 03-14-2006, 02:45 PM What's on my feet depend on the season and the temp outside:
70 or more - Keen Newport sandals (w/o socks)
40 - 70 - Keen sandals (w/ socks)
40 or colder - Merrell clogs
Its been low, black Chuck Taylors almost every day for the past 20 years or so. Even with my tux on my wedding day. It may be a little hard to see, but...
13903
Otherwise, I wear low Doc Martens as my "nice" shoes, or Rossingnol ski boots, or New Balance running shoes.

Lounging: Birks, Crocks, or adidas sandals

tango 03-15-2006, 02:47 AM driving - whatever shoes I have on - although I prefer none
around the house and errands - I prefer to go barefoot but if I HAVE to wear shoes they're clogs - I have nice ones and plastic ones for gardening/ponding - bet I have 150 pairs of socks too - HATE cold feet
work - usually lace-up ankle boots - sometimes my riding boots (english style) - all of them have a western riding heel
outdoors - one of 3 pairs of hiking boots
dressy - high heels
casual - Cole Hahn loafers
:sad: I have small and narrow feet so I don't own a pair of "cheap" shoes - they don't make em' in my size - even my plastic clogs cost $50 a pair. I envy people who can buy and wear all the cute trendy shoes and sandals.
StevieSegel 04-10-2006, 12:52 PM BIRKENSTOCKS!!!!

I used to live for 5 p.m. when I could slip into my Birks and while I still have a trusty ol' pair of Birks in my closet, CROCS are now typically my footwear of choice... lighter, just as comfy, non-slip, never sticky or smelly and as at home in the mountains as on the beach! Complete function over form. They are the "Element" of footwear. Gotta love'em...
Crocs Footwear (http://www.crocs.com/consumer/product/footwear/)

WoodysBlkElement 04-10-2006, 04:25 PM Well I'm an old school BMX Freestyle rider and I still wear Vans. I get them custom now but back in the day I was sportin the blue and white checkered Vans. At work I wear Redwing boots, only the best. Going out I wear some Dr. Martins. And when I'm just hangin at the crib I have my trusty Old Navy flip flops.

bobhch/hchbob 04-25-2006, 12:47 AM I wear Nike shoes....They have to have a leather tongue and be mostly white. It is getting hard to find Nike Shoes that look like they should be worn by a 41 year old now though. I go for the plain simple look. Style but, no springs or the sorts...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I did buy some "N" shoes to throw in the back of the Element in case I need to go somewhere after work. My work Shoes are always covered in glue from insulating duct work. Eventually my work shoes wear out which turns my other pair of Nikes into work shoes. Then it is time to get another pair of Nikes for everyday.
Nike shoes last a long time. Always White Leather. Yeah baby! I did get some Addidas last time and they were nice also. I always get those aftermarket insoles.....The stock ones bite the big one. I work on a cement floor 9 hours a day.
I am thinking about getting some Vans. James posted some cool looking ones with checkers....They looked cool and I am all about cool :cool:. Do they make them in size 13?
When at home in the house........Barefoot always, Bob
rodaniel 04-25-2006, 04:30 AM When I'm not at work, I practically live in sandals or sneakers. Call me crazy, but I'm really itchin' to try these Vibram FIVEFINGERS (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/) bad boys out! If only I could justify poppin' $70 for a pair...

WoodysBlkElement 04-30-2006, 12:03 PM Vans, always have and always will. I was one of those BMX Freestyle guys from the 80's and I wore blue and white checkerd ones then but now I go a little more toned down. I get em made custom from there website these days. My little boy wears em now too... he likes the ones with skulls.

gisele 08-05-2007, 09:59 PM Keens--Newport H2, Targhee or Seattle. Probably any Keen cuz they are very comfy with good grip.
I also have a well-worn driving moc from Eddie Bauer that is like driving barefoot.
The worst to drive in (but my fave shoe right now) is the Earth Energizer. It's so clunky to drive with...but the best shoe to live in!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not? I have been driving bear foot for 41 years. My second favorite is moccasins.
Maximo Park 08-06-2007, 06:30 PM It's not? I have been driving bear foot for 41 years. My second favorite is moccasins.
That's right, it's perfectly legal to drive barefoot in all states.
Another misconception, that there is a "Health Code" forbidding barefeet in stores and restaurants, is also not true. No such codes exist.
bh241 08-06-2007, 06:59 PM I'm in my socks now. But then again I'm at home and the work is done for the day.
When I'm driving I love to kick the shoes off! But keep a pair of shoes handy for when I have to get gas or something.

lifeizgood 09-19-2007, 10:23 PM Popular Croc Shoes Could Pose Danger To Your Toes
Sep 19, 2007 07:53 PM
At rail stations and shopping malls around the world, reports are popping up of people, particularly young children, getting their toes caught in escalators. The one common theme seems to be the clunky soft-soled clogs known by the name of the most popular brand, Crocs.
One of the nation's largest subway systems - the Washington Metro - has even posted ads warning riders about wearing such shoes on its moving stairways. The ads feature a photo of a crocodile, though they don't mention Crocs by name.
Four-year-old Rory McDermott got a Croc-clad foot caught in an escalator last month at a mall in northern Virginia. His mother managed to yank him free, but the nail on his big toe was almost completely ripped off, causing heavy bleeding.
At first, Rory's mother had no idea what caused the boy's foot to get caught. It was only later, when someone at the hospital remarked on Rory's shoes, that she began to suspect the Crocs and did an Internet search.
"I came home and typed in 'Croc' and 'escalator,' and all these stories came up," said Jodi McDermott, of Vienna, Va. "If I had known, those would never have been worn."
According to reports appearing across the United States and as far away as Singapore and Japan, entrapments occur because of two of the biggest selling points of shoes like Crocs: their flexibility and grip. Some report the shoes get caught in the "teeth" at the bottom or top of the escalator, or in the crack between the steps and the side of the escalator.
The reports of serious injuries have all involved young children. Crocs are commonly worn by children as young as 2. The company introduced shoes in its smallest size, 4/5, this past spring.
Niwot, Colo.-based Crocs Inc. said it does not keep records of the reasons for customer-service calls. But the company said it is aware of "very few" problems relating to accidents involving the shoes, which are made of a soft, synthetic resin.
"Thankfully, escalator accidents like the one in Virginia are rare," the company said in a statement.
In Japan, the government warned consumers last week that it has received 39 reports of sandals - mostly Crocs or similar products - getting stuck in escalators from late August through early September. Most of the reports appear to have involved small children, some as young as two years old.
Kazuo Motoya of Japan's National Institute of Technology and Evaluation said children may have more escalator accidents in part because they "bounce around when they stand on escalators, instead of watching where they place their feet."
In Singapore, a 2-year-old girl wearing rubber clogs - it's unclear what brand - had her big toe completely ripped off in an escalator accident last year, according to local media reports.
And at the Atlanta airport, a 3-year-old boy wearing Crocs suffered a deep gash across the top of his toes in June. That was one of seven shoe entrapments at the airport since May 1, and all but two of them involved Crocs, said Roy Springer, operations manager for the company that runs the airport terminal.
One U.S. retailer that caters to children, Mattel subsidiary American Girl, has posted signs in three locations directing customers wearing Crocs or flip-flop sandals to use elevators instead of escalators.
During the past two years, so-called "shoe entrapments" in the Washington subway have gone from being relatively rare to happening four or five times a week in the summer, though none has caused serious injuries, said Dave Lacosse, who oversees the subway's 588 escalators, the most of any U.S. transit system.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said escalator accidents caused more than 10,000 injuries last year, but the agency has few records of specific shoe problems. Only two shoe entrapments have been reported by consumers since the beginning of 2006. One reported in May involved "rubber footwear."
Agency spokesman Ed Kang urged people who have had problems to report them on the commission's Web site.
Crocs officials said they were working with the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation on public education initiatives. But the group's executive director, Barbara Allen, said that's not true.
Allen said a Crocs official called her in September 2006 about possible cooperation, even suggesting the company might put a tag in its shoes with the foundation's Web address. But since that first contact, Crocs has not called, and nobody from the company will return Allen's calls, she said.
Washington Metro's Lacosse and other escalator experts say the best way to prevent shoe entrapments is to face the direction the stairs are moving, keep feet away from the sides and step over the teeth at the end.
Lacosse, of the Washington subway system, said he is personally skittish of Crocs and other soft-soled shoes.
"Would I wear them? No," he said. "And I tell my children not to wear them either."

gisele 10-10-2007, 10:31 AM OMG, I have seen those funky feet/shoes before! KRATE BIKE has a pair. Are they really comfortable. I guess, kinda like wearing those socks with the individual toes, eh? -g
Right now I am wearing Earth Shoes "energizers". I went on a walk this morning.

They are SUPER comfortable! I'm barefoot most of the time anyways, so transitioning to them wasn't too difficult. I'm looking foward to having them all of next summer...the soles of my feet won't burn on the asphalt!

They are great for driving stick now. Some of my other pairs have a thicker sole but these give me ultimate control.
eletinjenment 01-30-2008, 09:45 AM I bought a pair of these and loved them so much that I now own 8 pairs of these shoes(different styles)but they are really nothing compaired to my 50+ pairs of shoes I own... yea I know call me a chic, but when youve got money to burn out on tour in LA...:mad:

russbuss 01-30-2008, 10:31 AM i ran across these sanuk sandals at a surf shop down by the beach last year and they are my favorite shoes now. they have a flip-flop style bottom and a canvas top. they were designed for surfers by surfers but actually look great with jeans. (the only surfing i do is on the web)
all my friends think they're really ugly but i think my friends are just really boring. the perfect odd looking shoe to match my odd looking vehicle!:)

These shoes look so tacky that I will have to buy me a pair.....
gfoulke 01-30-2008, 08:35 PM $5 flip flops are the only way to drive.
$5 flip flops are the only way to drive.
Man I agree!
I don't know what it is, but I feel like I HAVE to wear flip flops when driving the E:) It's like a "no shoes allowed", kind of car.
Mrs.Anthony337 01-30-2008, 10:28 PM Other? Vans.
Chica 08-02-2008, 04:40 PM A pair of old and worn-out Ugg slippers. I know it's summer, but shearling is comfortable year-round.:-D

Maximo Park 08-11-2008, 01:21 AM Flip-flop tan lines from the last Element meet at the US Open of Surfing. :D
scanrps 08-11-2008, 10:46 AM Personally I feel flip-flops are more dangerous then even bare feet when driving.
I hear of cases where the flops would come off while driving, and
lodge under ether the brake, or gas pedal and cause drivers to lose
control of their car.
I know there are some that are better then others, the cheap RiteAid
type are the worst, and the ones that contour your feet would
be the best choice.
gabelement 08-11-2008, 11:51 AM I have 9 different pair of Etnies... IMO I believe they are the best shoe I've owned and I wear 1 of the 9 atleast 80% of the time.
If not those, then I have a shatton of New Balance, Fila, KSwiss, and Sketchers. But primarily Etnies.
TonyS 08-11-2008, 12:18 PM New Balance 2001's or I ain't walking much! I like Docksiders yuppie shoes (no socks) but they hurt my flat feet.
kerri716 08-11-2008, 08:44 PM If I'm not barefoot (which is most of the time), I'm wearing Rainbows. They're the most comfy flip flops I've ever owned. I wear them all year long. Yes, even in winter
wyldmoonwoman 08-11-2008, 08:51 PM barefoot or sock foot is my preference because I think sadists invented uncomfortable shoes (and pantyhose)
Pope*Mobile 08-11-2008, 09:32 PM . . . I think sadists invented uncomfortable shoes (and pantyhose)
Amen, sista! I don't think I could ever get my feet into anything with pointy toes.
I got mary jane Crocs for my toddler and thought it would be so cute for us to have matching shoes (ok, I'm cheesey- we occasionally have coordinating outfits), now I have 2 pair and wear them all the time because they are so comfortable. Perfect driving shoes, too!
Also love my brown and white polka dot Birks- so comfy and a little feminine as well. Unfortunately, they are starting to look pretty worn and I can't seem to find a good replacement :sad:
E pluribus 08-12-2008, 11:09 AM Right now, at this very minute, I have Hanes socks on my feet.:)

Grandma and I have been wearing Birkenstock sandals for over twenty years. The largest Birkenstock retailer in the US is Footprints (http://www.footprints.com). Check them out for your favorites.
