>>2753216The price is funny for a piece of rubber and some straps. You can DIY something like that for 1/3 price.
>>2753216how did they not break their ankles the second a single drop of water got between their feet and the sandal? I have sandals perfectly molded to my feet but as soon as any wetness occurs they get slipperier than a Chicago politician in a baby oil bath.>>2753225>obvious trolling slang term>"THE STATE OF EDUCATION"Jesus Christ you people are sensitive little morons. I'm guessing you probably also have a heart attack because we write "July 10th, 2024" as 07/10/24 like logical people.
no you can't idiot
>>2753231Mutts waste unholy amounts of money and then die alone and destitute after accumulating debt. Such is the curse of hog people, germs are the same.
>>2753259>>2753231I'm currently researching how I can make something that looks a lot like a pair of caligae but that have a modern base. Rubber or plastic or whatever. Want them to be practical for hiking as well as outdoor rock climbing
>>2753286Why can't you just be normal?
>>2753231>>2753259I didn't realize Europeans just wake up in the morning and seethe because their playgrounds their call their forests are now filled with migrants.It's polyurethane, vibram rubber, and nylon webbing, made in us, and resoleable for a product that lasts over 3000 miles.Your average trail runner made of eva, mesh, off brand sole, and pig leather, made by 3rd worlders costs the same and gets 500 miles.Sure you can DIY for cheaper.>>2753251Who are you talking to?
>>2753216>2,800 miles / 4,500kmWe can see the Vibram logo. It’s a very popular brand, but nothing spectacular about any of the soles they make. We know this claim is bullshit>it was in EuropeSo he travelled that far by bus and by train. Cool story.
>>2753216I really don't care. I'm still using my hiking boots.
>>2753234>le I was just trolingclassic
>>2753313Kek we summoned the lardlord.
>>2753216These look great OP, what kind of shoes are they? I need new sandals for hiking, my birkenstocks and chaco sandals usually die after a year or two of constant wear
>>2753231That would be crocs anon.This is 3 different pieces of foam/rubber.While i honestly prefer Adidas beach sandals for my hiking, the strap is most likely better..
>>2753226>1 feet
>>2753362>wot sandalshttps://bedrocksandals.com/pages/compare-sandals
>>2753216those look great. ive been wearing the same pair of luna sandals like these since 2016 and theyre still in great shape. just the footbed is getting worn so looks kinda rough but still passable
>>2753461the unit is feet per nanosecond. it's written with a slash so you know it's the unit. "one foot per second" and "1 feet/nanosecond" are both accurate and equivalent.>>2753226my favorite conversion is the speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second. I found this one to be particularly astonishing when I first learned the subject
>>2753349Oh yeah he must really not know the word "kilometer." Jesus fucking Christ Yuros are almost as stupid as they are elitist.
>>2753586>hecan you stop pretending you're not the OP? it's so embarrassing.>he must really not know the word "kilometer."Playing stupid now? Go back to plebbit.
>>2753234>how did they not break their ankles the second a single drop of water got between their feet and the sandal? I have sandals perfectly molded to my feet but as soon as any wetness occurs they get slipperier than a Chicago politician in a baby oil bath.Can't speak for Bedrock but the grip on Luna soles is crazy, I use them for water crossings etc. and my feet don't budge. Feels like those dry-grip yoga mats even underwater. I replaced Teva Hurricanes and Chacos with the molded sole that had the slippy problem
>>2753286You van by vibram soles in plates
>>2753642Correction: "can buy"
>>2753543>>2753602>>2753543>>2753375Op here. Nice reddit spacing fags but forgot this is /nuout
>>2753725that's not reddit spacing you newfag
>>2753225>July 11th, 2024>Eleventh of July, 2024When you think about it like that, complaining is stupid. Both are equally fine Also it's not like imperial measurements are intended to be scaled like that. There's no reason to measure the length of a wall in miles, inches and feet will suffice. The benefits in conversion don't really mean anything when people operate at completely different scales
>>2753753The problem is when you use short-form. >12/01/24According to the entire world outside of the USA, that's January 12, but according to the USA, it's December 1st. Pretty retarded.
I've owned two pairs of bedrocks. They're very comfy and have a near non-existant breaking period. I think my longest hike with them is only a few dozen miles though.
>>2753754Don't talk to Americans then?
>>2753216I have xero runners and vibram toe shoes and they have their issues. With the xeros they blister your feet and with the tevas your toes get worn out well before your legs do. But I have longer middle toes than my big toes.
>>2753759Xeros are nice to wear. It just feels so good to have a wide toe box. Haven't had any blister issues yet. Where do you get them?
>>2753759I meant the vibrams sorry. I have had two pairs of tevas as well and birkentstock arizonas in leather and in foam. Out of those 5 pairs of sandals the leather birkenstocks are by far the best. And I wore them until all the cork disintegrated and had to throw them out. The foam ones are what I have now and the front part tears when you catch them on something. The other wird thing about these xeros is they give you WAAAAY too long of straps. The vibrams toe shoes I have are the cvt hemp ones and these are my second pair because I wore out the first ones. Also cholla cactus goes right fucking through them. I wore them to the superstition mountains and was stepping on jumping cactus mines the entire time. I reccomend leather birkenstock arizonas out of any sandal I have had.
>>2753762On the ball of my feet right where I put my weight. The footbed also wore on that part and I've probably only walked 20 miles in them at this point. I'll take a picture when I get home I'm at the gym right now.
>>2753766Oh also thr teva hurricanes were black and in the Arizona sun they heat up and burn your feet. And they were too squishy and felt weird especially if you smoked weed. I had to take them off when I smoked weed because the sensation was so weird.
>>2753768Cheers. Enjoy the gym
>>2753216>absolutely not an adWhen I was living in Japan for a while, I was using cheap chinese martial arts shoes because it was to hot and humid for boots. ~15 bucks for one pair, mad only of a thin rubber sole and some canvas. Used them for more than a year, doing 50-100km per week, so something around 4000km. They still had half the profile left after that.tl;dr: if you want to shill your crap, at least make it sound good. 4500km is nothing much.
pretty cool desu senpai

>>2753842>reddit spacing is punctuationlol
>>2753824Well that sucks. Those do look awfully soft which I'm guessing is causing that?
The PCT is long and hard as fuck but not brushy or dangerous to walk on at all. In fact, you can do the whole thing on a horse. Perfect trail for sandals. Almost all hikes here you'd be cut up and shit. I love when I can use my sandals but it's almost never.
I am wear CHACO'S for walk many miles (30km per day); you are mad
>>2754108What is that like 3 miles
>>2753216sandals are nice and all but dont you guys find it eventually leads to just going barefoot. like i only put my sandals on if theres a shit ton of zebra mussels to contend with. i dont even bother if its just barnacles, surely the skin on the bottom of our feet is designed for grip and to take a beating.
>>2753842>>2753833>>2753729Go back
>>2753225American Imperial units describe the human experience, SI units are for laboratories and manufacturing. Blow it out your ass.
>>2756727Kek they have such an attachment to the confusion units.
>>2753831>>2753833"Reddit" spacing was used on 4chan, before reddit was even a thing.
Would pic related work for hiking? It's hot af in suthern europe and I was thinking about hiking in sandals, but then I realized caligae were a thing and they offer ankle support too. Do you know if larp ones are high quality or will they break down after using them?
>>2756991forgot pic
>>2756991Why do you keep trying to make this a thing? Larp as a Roman legionary if you want to, nobody is going to stop you. You're going to discover that caligae suck and modern shoes don't.
>>2757000>Why do you keep trying to make this a thing?first time I asked about this.
>>2757002Ok, I guess all the oddly specific caligae posts I've seen for months were purely coincidental
Boot bros, how the fuck do you deal with sore pinkie toes?
I've been hiking in Chacos with socks for years, and can't recommend it enough.If you're worried about looking like a dork in the woods try therapy.
>>2757022Chop it off
>>2757022Make sure the boots are well broken in, try different combinations of insoles and socks of varying thickness, else change boots. Most modern footwear is not anatomic and causes health issues.
>>2756727obligatory
>>2757073Kek, somehow hadn't seen that one yet.
>>2757000>You're going to discover that caligae suckPeople walked in it for centuries and we still talk about Rome today. yeah, I get the larp aspect today. But fuck it, return to sandals man. feels good on the toes.
>>2753216>stubs toe
>>2753216or get a set of boots and avoid looking like a streetshitter

>>2757134The Romans wore shoes you historically ignorant retard.
>>2757340>Enjoy your back and leg problems when you hit 40Brother I started hiking in sandals in my late 30s and the results after ten years are nothing but positive. Eschew dogma, embrace performance.
>>2753831This was normal and never called reddit spacing until the election tourists from reddit. Really makes you think.
>>2757347>things that didn't happenThe only think you're eschewing is truth.Keep lying, tell another big one so I can keep laughing at your obvious stupidity.
>>27573472800 miles over 10 years is 280 miles a year or around 23 miles a month.I do 23 miles in ONE DAY of a multi day hike.JFC if you're going to brag about something don't be so embarrassingly obvious about trying to make your pathetic numbers look impressive.

>>2757340>The sciences that matter don't use metric or standard because the universe isn't in intervals of either you mouthbreathing retard.best example of dunning-krugar I've seen in a long time.
>>2757389>Incoherent screeching
>>2757392lolI love it when someone who doesn't know shit about science says something like thisHave a you english major haver.
Why are we arguing about insignificant things like the metric system and sandals when there's still true injustice in the world?
>>2757395>>2757340Can you tell me about Newton's second law? What units are used?Can you tell me what units astronomers use to measure distances?
>>2753766>>2757389>WAAAAY too long of strapsWhy don’t you just cut them and restitch the end part, or just burn the ending after cutting with a lighter to stop it from fraying. First option is better.https://youtu.be/bsaditut48E
>>2757421Why not both? Melt the end to prevent fraying, and sew in a fold to give yourself a handle and prevent the strap from slipping out of the buckle.My chacos only have about 0.2 light-nanoseconds of free strap. That's about half a hand for you imperial folks. Seems about right.
>>2757334>sweat>it dries>cool dry feetthanks anon
>>2753225Using month, day, then year puts the information in order of relevance for most people. If I was about to be dropped in the middle of nowhere and had to prepare for the weather, that's the order I'd want it in. Not that it matters much either way
>>2757516>Desperate hail Mary to defend confusion units.
>>2753631For me it's not the soles that's the problem, it's the insoles. If my feet get wet they slide off the sandals when walking downhill and sandals with a thong between the toes hurt my webbing. Do you just suck it up until you get calluses between your toes?
Bedrocks are neat. Hiked a couple of long trails in mine. They have their time and place. Not great on some terrain though.
Just got some earth runners (circadian)tell it to me straight, did i fall for the meme
Does anyone know where to get size US15-16 hiking sandals? I've been wanting to try it out but cannot find anything in my size
>>2757399>Let me use centuries out of date examples of antiquated science Exactly what I'd expect from a midwit who has never actually done any real science. I doubt you even know what a partial derivative is much less how to calculate one.
>>2757399alsoThey use Astronomical unites or relate it to our sun's solar diameter and mass you fuck faced retard. The average distance from earth to the sun normalized to a unit is the most common.So, again, you're laughably stupid.
>>2757955>the laws of physics don't count if they were discovered before the current centuryget a load of this brainlet.>They use Astronomical unites or relate it to our sun's solar diameter and mass you fuck faced retard. Astronomical unites are based on the metric system, you fuck faced retard.>The astronomical unit (symbol: au,[1][2][3][4] or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to 149,597,870,700 m.you are just as stupid and uninformed as your demeanor indicates.
>>2757970Thanks for verifying you have zero clue at all what you're talking about wikepedia warrior.The only thing more laughable than how stupid you are his how far out of your intellectual league you're trying to argue.An AU is the average distance between the sun and earth over a year. You simply converted it to metric, the measurement itself has nothing to do with metric.God damn you're retarded--keep going wikepedia warrior.
>>2757973The AU is defined by a distance measured in meters.>The astronomical unit (AU) is a standard unit of measurement for distances within our solar system. It is defined as: >1 AU = 149,597,870,700 meters >This is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, and it serves as a convenient scale for measuring the vast distances between objects in our solar system. >Note that the AU is not a fixed distance, as the orbit of the Earth around the Sun is elliptical, and the distance between the two bodies varies slightly over the course of the year. However, the defined value of 1 AU is a reliable and stable average distance that has been adopted as a standard unit of measurement in astronomy.
>>2757973I'd also like you to explain to me why Newton's second law is no longer valid in the field of physics.
>>2757980First point out to me where it is still used by physicists. This should be amusing.
>>2757978>No linkObviously you're an idiot.
>He doesn't know about the measurement problem lol
>>2757981>>2757982>>2757983this is the same retard spamming /pol/ with nukes aren't real threads
>>2757981Newton's second law, F = ma, is a fundamental principle in physics that relates force, mass, and acceleration. It has numerous applications in modern physics, including: Particle Physics: In high-energy collisions, forces and accelerations are crucial in understanding particle interactions and properties. Astrophysics: Newton's law helps describe celestial motion, galaxy rotation curves, and star formation. Condensed Matter Physics: It's used to study material properties, phase transitions, and transport phenomena. Biophysics: Forces and mechanics are essential in understanding biological systems, such as protein folding, cell mechanics, and muscle contraction. Robotics and Control Systems: Newton's law is applied in designing and controlling robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles. Materials Science: Understanding forces and stresses is crucial in developing new materials and optimizing their properties. Nuclear Physics: Forces and energies are critical in understanding nuclear reactions, fission, and fusion. Space Exploration: Newton's law is used in trajectory planning, propulsion systems, and understanding spacecraft dynamics. Medical Physics: Forces and mechanics are applied in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and understanding human physiology. Computational Physics: Numerical simulations rely on Newton's law to model complex systems and phenomena.These are just a few examples of the many areas where Newton's second law remains a cornerstone of modern physics.>nooooo you can't use AI that's cheating!!! you have to waste your own time on my retardation
>>2757987Nice try to gaslight and well poison but no you're just an idiot.Plank units aren't in metric retard--they are rounded to metric when convenient (emphasis on rounded).>>2757989So, in conclusion, you can't link one paper that applies this formula.Try again. Just one paper--prove to me you can actually read scientific literature (which you can't) before I openly mock you for saying nothing and supporting it with nothing.Look up the IAU before you embarrass yourself even more.You know absolutly nothing about any of those topics--that much is obvious.Link something to substantiate any of your points: oh wait, you can't.
>>2757989>he doesn't know that Newton wrote the equations unitless and bounced between several types of units LOL
>>2757991here you gohttps://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Classical_Mechanics/Classical_Mechanics_(Dourmashkin)/08%3A_Applications_of_Newtons_Second_Lawimagine having such a low IQ that you need someone to spoon feed this stuff to you...>>2757992and modern science has settled on the metric system. what's your point?
>>2757991>Just one paper--prove to me you can actually read scientific literatureno one needs to prove anything to you, as you've already demonstrated yourself to be a complete and utter retard. please leave this board immediately and never come back. you are a shame to your entire bloodline.
>>2757993"They arise from observation and experimentation, and they have limited ranges of applicability."Ahahahhahaha, you didn't even fucking read your own source. God damn you're retarded and embarrassingly stupid.>>2757993>Modern science settled on metricLOL, nice straw man retard. Re read what I wrote and feel bad about being an idiot.The measurements that matter are not in metric--they are rounded to metric for convenience. JFC you're super stupid.>>2757994lolnice cope idiot.I love that you retarded science worshipers clearly don't even know the basics of actual science.LOL Idiots coping.
>>2757998>herp blerp derpnice reddit spacing. you have to go back (and take your meds while you're at it)
>>2757993let me throw you a bone before you embarrass yourself move about Newton (who didn't use metric as you clearly believe he did)https://books.google.com/books?id=Tm0FAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false
>>2757999>I am out of my intellectual league: the concessionthe cope is palpable.
>>2758000>>2758002>look at me mommy I'm retarded
>>2758005yesThe measurements that matter aren't in metricThanks for confirming and for the concession that you're indeed stupid as all hell.lolcontinue--you're just seething at this point.
>>2758006The metric system is widely used across various scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and biology. Here are some examples: Physics: Example: In physics, the metric system is used to measure fundamental quantities like length, mass, and time. For instance, the speed of light is measured in meters per second (m/s). The universal constant for the speed of light in a vacuum, denoted as cc, is approximately 299,792,458m/s299,792,458m/s. Chemistry: Example: Chemists use the metric system to measure substances' quantities and concentrations. A common unit is the mole, which represents 6.022×10236.022×1023 particles (Avogadro's number). Concentrations of solutions are often expressed in moles per liter (mol/L), known as molarity. Astronomy: Example: Astronomers use metric units like kilometers (km) and astronomical units (AU) to measure distances within our solar system. For interstellar distances, light-years or parsecs are used. For instance, the distance from Earth to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.24 light-years or 1.3 parsecs. Biology: Example: In biology, metric units are essential for measuring biological samples, such as cell sizes or chemical concentrations. For instance, the size of cells and microorganisms is often measured in micrometers (µm), where 1 µm is 10−610−6 meters. Concentrations of substances in a biological sample might be expressed in micrograms per milliliter (µg/mL).These examples highlight the versatility and global standardization of the metric system, facilitating consistent and accurate scientific measurements across disciplines.
>>2753216What are some recommendations for good brands where the straps won't cause blisters and brush burns? Moneys not an issue for me
>>2757905>>2758009Soooooooooooooocks and Chacos.Chaco Z1 don't have a toe loop, so you can wear normal socks. If you buy sandals with a toe loop (or thongs) you'll need toe socks like this gentleman: >>2757908
>>2758008>Physics fundamental unitsAre in plank units, not metric you mouth breathing retard. >Chemistry uses metricYou have zero clue how the unit of a mole is calculated or the difference beteween or even what an ideal gas is.

You keep repeating the same stupidty.>BiologyLOLTHE MEASURMENTS THAT MATTER ARENT METRIC.You're so dumb its unreal how little you clearly understand about science.
>>2758008I also love that you gave up on the newton argument after the book he wrote was posted definitively proving you have no idea what you're talking about.
>>2758026why do you keep responding with this incoherent gibberish and reddit spacing? who are you talking to at this point?
>>2758029>I am too stupid to understand anything you wroteFTFY. Seriously, why are you commenting on something clearly beyond your intellectual depth in the first place?
>>2758031I tip my fedora to you good sir. Have a nice day.
>>2758036I just wanted to talk about sandals and some science cultist just had to star reading lines out of their bible. Embarrassing really how few science cultists can't comprehend that science is loaded with imaginary and infinite constants and that all measurements are relative.
>>2756991You know the Roman army ended up replacing caligae with boots eventually
>>2756400NTA. You’re a faggot.First, you don’t know what Reddit spacing is. It’s using extra spacing for emphasis.ThisIsReddit spacingYou NewfaggotAdding extra lines between paragraphs to avoid a wall of text is typical punctuation. It’s a shame that I have to explain this.>Reddit bad!There are two reasons to even use /out/. One is to laugh at the retards and call them faggots.

>>2758466you're a consume fag. we are not the same
>>2756774Imagine being dumb and pretending like it's something to be proud of.I use both, why can't you?
>>2753216It's the PCT. You're a basehead if you think you can't do the whole thing in sandals.
>>2758911Because yours are obsolete shite, why else?
>>2753216lmao I met this girl on the pct last yearwhat a trip!
>>2758017>need toe socksI ended up wearing those socks mostly while the skin on my heals recovered. I had been very lazy with foot care that season which resulted in my heals cracking, especially in the dry, dusty conditions I was in then! The toe sock bed rock combo is comfy though for sure. I prefer trail runners to sandals for like 99% of hiking and running though.
>>2753216lol at that consumer pleb vibram sole.I get a life time worth of my Rubbermac Defender™ Lundhags.
>>2757073this is like the leftist can't meme version kek
>>2753216damn that girl has some hairy legs
>>2753216my trailrunners are pushing 2000km right now but ok
>>2753543You wouldnt say 1 centimeters per second. Y
>>2753766>WAAAAY too long of strapsLoop the strap ends back into the rubber watch fastener.
>>2757022>>2757043It’s crazy how many shoe brands fuck up the pinky toe area and arch area. Being pretty shouldn’t be their first priority, especially with a shoe that is meant for the outdoors.I need more room around the pinky toe area and I don’t need arch support. Whoever needs arch support should just get an insole with that type of support.
>buying shoes from a country that does picrel to themselvessandals and cowboy boots are the way to go
>>2763798If your pinky toes have been fucked up after many years of using fashion shoes you won’t notice any problem and they will fit within the boundaries, but if your pinky toes are still ok they will overlap over the boundary of the sole a little bit.
>come to cozy sandal thread>50% of the thread is retards arguing about metric and Reddit spacingYou guys are the fucking worst, tell me how to deal with the sole of my sandal growing mold
>>2763971I'd assume you could just leave them out in the sun or rub them down with alcohol. What have you tried so far? How quickly does the mold come back once you clean it? Do you have moldy feet?
Teva Dorado
>>2753313>because their playgrounds their call their forests are now filled with migrants.Yeah, thanks for that, yacob.
>>2753833>>2753849>>2753842>>2756946You talk like a woman, thats your second big tell niggerfaggot.
Damn I don't know how people do that shit. Feels like something you have to grow up with or your feet, knees, etc. would just explode trying to switch to sandles. I'll stick with my comfy shoes
>>2764406>Feels like something you have to grow up with or your feet, knees, etc. would just explode trying to switch to sandles.It's something you have to ease into but you can learn the correct form as an adult. Learning to run in sandals/barefoot/minimalist shoes helped me get rid of my knee pain.
>>2753769I have a pair of Tevas like that. One day I had them on and the bottom sole just separated about 80% from the upper portion, with no obvious warning signs beforehand. I tried to repair them when I got home, but haven't actually had the chance to test them yet. So, keep an eye out for early signs of separation before you start any trips.>>2753803Yeah that is pretty cool, visually at least>>2753962>long and hard as fuckHeh... anyway, wouldn't it be annoying to have to sunscreen the shit out of your feet every day, and watch them get super grimy? I just don't get the appeal.
>>2764806i started going barefoot 4 months ago. so far just dirt,mud, grass, sand, wood. i'm avoiding rocks while i get inured to the earth. i had great toes, but i've done some damage to them pretty much ever being barefoot most of my life.
>>2753216I got planter fasciitis just looking at those sandals.
>>2764406Used to swear by Montrail hardrocks, now I'm in La sportivas, unfortunately these are discontinued too.
>>2764406Here's what I know about La Sportiva:If you find a pair you really like buy several pairs because they will be discontinued.I love mine.Approach shoes are hands down the best footware for hiking where I live. I have a pair of black diamonds for summer and La' Sportiva for winter.
just found a pair of these Timberland Granite Trailray's at a thrift store for $4, look basically brand new and feel pretty good. anyone ever buy timberland sandals? good or bad? gonna test em out in a few weeks
>>2753216I love my sandals for walking in, after about a 300 miles I'll order a new pair and return the old ones. They're great for grounding/earthing too
Just copped the flat version of these but wondering if the little toe mound isn't worth returning them for. Any bedrock niggers care to comment?
>>2769558i'd stick with flat. they will break in over time and form anyways. I think most people that tried both found the ergo fatter version unnecessary
>>2753216Does anyone make robust tabi socks suitable for hiking that are available in adult White man sizes and aren't $20/pair? I've found thin tabi socks, a Japanese workwear brand that doesn't make my size, Bedrock's custom Injinji tabi socks for $20/pair, and a number of product listings which are hard to assess without reviews by autists or holding the sock in person. I'd be more interested in the Injinji socks if their hiking-oriented five-toe socks didn't wear out too quickly to justify the price in my experience; it's possible the tabi socks are more robust since they don't need to put fabric between all of your toes but I doubt it since the wear area was the forefoot and heel. I'd also like to find a warm pair of over-the-calf tabi hiking socks for winter and Bedrock's Injinjis are shorter than that.
>>2753216agreed.
>>2769570ive had the same dilemma as you.. all the tabi socks are way too small i find i cant even fit my big toe into its spot. ive opted for getting waterproof socks that are a few sizes too big and then letting the excess get cinched back by the sandal lace. its surprisingly not that unfomfortable
>>2753216I did 5000km in one pair of shoes over a summer. This was the AT plus a bunch of smaller trails. They were cheap no-name brand shoes that I got for 40 bucks as well.>Shoe scuffers are sub human. Neck yourself OP.
>>2753216I have these. I hike in them more than my boots at this point. excellent sandals. Probably have close to 500 miles on them
>>2769570I bought some for hiking in my bedrocks, but the reason I hike in sandals to begin with is my magma hot feet, so I don't even use them in winter. when I tried, they just got soggy real fast and became uncomfortable.
>>2753216Do you guys wear socks with your sandals? My feet get destroyed by sandals, little dust gets in and just rubs all the skin off. I only barefoot sandals when wearing them in the water.
>>2763798>It’s crazy how many shoe brands fuck up the pinky toe area
>>2753216Sandals are great, i never get any blisters, i don't feel any pain while doing long distance hikes. However, i can"t get over looking like a absolute faggot so i don't wear them, i'd rather endure severe pain
>>2753225Is this the irrelevant shit yuros have to argue about to feel superior?
>>2771957I convert meters to km, grams to kilos etc. in my head on a daily basis. Ameriburgers will never understand how much easier life is when you don't have to break out a calculator every 2 seconds to figure out a conversion.
>>2753769I don't smoke weed, but I did find a pair of these pretty steeply discounted, and just trying them on I didn't like them. My feet crave the chaco toe ring.
>>2753225>we went to the moon>europe cant even stop muslims from raping its culture into non-existence and has the most fucked territories on the globe.we use miles to mesure miles, we use yards to literally measure properties spanning less than 300 yards.if your mid-wit mut ass could understand that you wouldn't have even posted.in 90 years your opinion wont even exist .
>>2771971we dont you fucking retard.we know metric and imperial systems because we learn it in public school.all you told us is that YOU need a calculator because , and i say proudly...euro's can't math.
>>2771999>>2772000also both of my posts are tripps, get power fucked.
>>2771999First of all I'm not European. Second of all, America is getting raped by illegals just the same. Your demographics are far worse than most countries in Europe. In 90 years no one will even remember that there were white Americans.
>>2753216i was looking at the bedrock cairn evos the other day. the different between the 3 models just seems to be the amount of foam? does more foam = more miles or just cush comfort
>>2772188oh nevermind this isn't a real thread it's two and a half autistic shutins arguing about us vs europe
>>2753225
>>2773630>been to the moon
>>2773745
>>2768419you guys were right. sandals are elite for hiking. went off the path and did some bouldering, there was some unavoidable ankle deep water and said fuck it. took these bitches right through and they were dry again in 15 minutes. mind you probably wasnt as agile as i would be in shoes but that's obvious, still did the trick. pic rel
>>2774778Water shoes are also an option, fellow Australian mate.
>>2775050Idk i've always been weird about water shoes, but you're totally right.
>>2775065sick photo
>>2757908wtf is this shit omg fucking faggot.
>>2753216Have Lunas and Bedrock. If you have to pick one get Bedrock. The strap system is way better and the shoe is more durable. Lunas are much softer though and take a lot more stress off my knees and back.
>>2753225This diagram is missing Fahrenheit vs Celsius, which also proves the point
>>2775533There was a point? Here's your chart anyways.
>>2775763Bingo. I've actually managed to convert some Euros to the merits of Fahrenheit using a similar argument.
