My doctor told me that too. I had a stress fracture in my foot from wearing flip flops all the time. He said that slides were better so I mostly wear them now.

I used to love wearing them on a warm day. I have some Birkenstocks I wear now.

It’s hard to get me out of them once the weather is decent. Been wearing them all week with the warm weather already

I only wear flip flops to the beach or pool. I have a hard and fast rule that no one needs to see a dudes dogs. Ever.

Keen H2O sandals about 40% of the time when temps are above freezing, Sanük loafers a fair amount, boots are a cabelas labeled Danners Crater Rim. Dress shoes are almost a thing of the past at this point, but a few times/month I put on a pair of Rockport slip-on loafers or a Cole Montrose oxford.

In the market for new trail runners as my old ones are shot. Might go Hoka, might go Brooks. I don't know.

I cross country ski and there’s not a single boot I would ever consider as being comfortable. I was always told your boot should be snug as you don’t want your heel slipping out. So between a liner sock to deal with the sweat and a layering sock I’ve always felt my feet were like sardines in a can. I’ve never downhill skied. Are the concept of the boots similar or much more comfortable?

I have t XC’ed for years. The boots I had were lace-up leathers. Pretty flexible and no pain.

Downhill boots immobilize your ankle except for slight forward flex. The boot pain for me was usually in the shins. You are always keeping pressure on there against the boot. That pain was usually on the first day of the season, from then on the boots weren’t a problem. In my later years I really loved the Apex system because they are so easy to walk in after removing the chassis. Also the tightening system is infinitely adjustable

I still do daily stretches

OH WE KNOW. We all read them every day.
