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.

[@f4llenstarr]

Aaaaaand I've just gone and bought 3 birkenstocks.

[@MIKExMASSACREx]

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

[@albertquintero8716]

Paid like $25 for mine in Mexico instead of whatever these people are paying

[@stacks3892]

@@albertquintero8716 these huaraches cost like $120-$150, yikes

[@MIKExMASSACREx]

Huaraches are sooooo fire 🔥🔥

[@catherine1057]

Very helpful gift ideas thank you

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

[@edwinner100]

deadass I can't wear sandals without socks cause I be straight slipping in my own sweat

[@Cloud.210]

@@edwinner100 It’s like our own personal slip and slide.

[@LuisTrey]

It’s disgusting wearing sandals without socks regardless! Only flip flops should be wore barefoot.

[@jlsc4125]

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.

[@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.

[@ParkourUnited100]

It’s simple, Germans aren’t cool

[@gfeast4518]

I saw a bunch of Germans wearing Birkenstock’s at the mall the other day, I still think they’re weird hippie shoes haha

[@johnsmith4071]

It’ll never be cool to wear sandals with socks the only reason it’s been catching on is because of the dadcore trend over the past years

[@linus8632]

GQ finally got editors that can dress with the times LFG

[@CDankies]

They been trying to do this for years. Once Will Welch came on the the scene being relevant instead of timeless was the agenda.

[@jacopodelpuppo]

Love this vid

[@Calispeedboi]

The palest guy you know telling you how to dress in summer.

[@hugocolin8114]

Well now I have to wait for next summer 🙃

[@abdullahramadan1234]

Crocs and birknstock

[@elijah.j3288]

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

[@panchosayson5852]

Whats the brand of the fisherman sandals?

[@Harleylover14]

Love his nails!

[@jesuruiz12]

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!

[@benjaminshulman2407]

teva makes a pair like that

[@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.

[@justasentientmclarenp1879]

Most people wear crocs they’re getting some attention

[@donnieroush58]

Do this for dress boots

[@MTNorville]

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

[@Franky8z]

Oh God, a guy wearing his sandals with socks givin' fashion tips...

[@strangerfacestark]

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

[@Ganiscol]

They cost all of 6 bucks to produce en masse. Prada knows how to print money, or rather has the customers dumb & wealthy enough to fork the dough over like there is no tomorrow. 😂

[@4demon9]

“HA-RAH-CHEESE” You already got the origin wrong (they originated in Mexico). At least pronounce it right.

You can tell zero research went into prepping to talk about Huaraches

Dude, please stop saying Huarache. My ears are getting murdered. Pronounced "Guarache", the "H" sounds off like a "G" Avidan. Also, you might as well be wearing a parachute for an outfit with that body type, not a good look. Who dressed you?
