The outfit changes are killing me!!! Too funny!

[@terranempire2]

It haunts dreams…

[@sydneykerr7020]

That “non-party” was an absolute rager and we all know it

[@apandaface1630]

Anyone else engage the safety squints when that razor started flexing 😬 appreciate your content man, you bring us a new level to knowing what's in the shoes we buy and that's super helpful info man. Thanks!

[@jes.c.2679]

Funny that your party scene required guests to take shoes off while in the house, I actually bought a pair of these in black solely (hah) for the purpose of being a house shoe. The leather they use is really very nice and what pulled me in, but the flimsy midsoles I did not find all that comfortable even with or without the nice thick insole. The drop heel also does not seamlessly invoke the most comfortable experience, it's like when you put on shoes without noticing a coin or some other foreign object was inside and each step is more annoying than the last, but you actually paid for it to be like that. I feel like the heel design could be better executed if that material had a more practical channel to nestle into rather than just being an 1/8 inch flap you're constantly stepping on. This video reminded me that I actually wanted to return the shoes since I've only worn them around the house a couple of times and was not impressed so I just stick with my Adidas slides, but since I got them for $60 from REI Used Gear practically brand new maybe I'll keep em in case I'm on a yacht any time soon. I in no way want to deter folks from buying this product, I think the concept is great and the materials are nice while my pain points may not be the same as many others. I just hope to provide some perspective to help folks make an informed decision. Great videos, I miss the sound of the bandsaw but the blade ripping through leather is still nice.

[@rgs8970]

An aside: I've been trying to remember "El Camino", the mullet vehicle, name for weeks. I saw one in the wild and then couldn't remember what to call it! So thank you! (Also these shoes look rad lol)

[@Count_Smackula]

How was the comfort when walking on the folded down heel? You didn't mention whether it felt "weird" or not.

[@spencerroberts7918]

I’m with you, for how much of this felt like an ad there could’ve been a bit more on the feel of the weird heel

[@Richardlizhu]

@@spencerroberts7918 This was an ad, at the end (and beginning) he said sponsored by Olukai

[@stirfryjedi]

@@RichardlizhuDude, a sponsored review is *not* the same as an advertisement. Yeah they sent him the shoes for free, but they're not telling him what to say.

[@Bdsteck]

@@stirfryjedi If they sent him the shoe and that’s it, no it’s not an ad, but if they paid him money to make the video it is an ad

[@stirfryjedi]

@@Bdsteck I feel like that just makes it a paid review lol . Also, I'm not sure if they are reimbursing him with anything more than just some free kicks to cut in half. I can email him to ask.

[@sonderevokingbuns]

I can't tell you how much I love it when you do themed videos... freakin' hilarious

[@HandlebarWorkshops]

You may not like the microfiber, but this shoe looks like it was made to be worn without socks. The microfiber will help mitigate the stink level as people's feet start to sweat.

[@MacFingon]

I just bought these and they are nice. I have two pairs of the slip on style fabric shoes and I use the flip down heel a lot.

[@cedricboivin9422]

Whenever you want to test boots, it would be nice if you could test either Royer or Canada West Boots. Royer is really popular but they compete mainly with the low to mid tiers. Meanwhile, I have never seen a pair of Canada West but they seem nice. You could also make a super clickbait title like "Are Canadian boots better than Nick's!!!" (I don't think they are but they are quite cheaper)

[@skeeter2136]

my dad has a pair of the loafer looking olukais they are pretty comfy. i just wear sanuks though since they're half the price and just as comfy.

[@tylerbarnes7628]

I been wearing Olukai for years and make some of my favorite shoes. Lived in Hawaii for 12 years and Olukai slippahs are hands down the most comfortable out there. Got myself a pair of Maloa shoes and they are perfect. Had them for 3 years and they are still the most comfortable shoe I've found.

[@kenny6920]

Hey I worked at Olukai's office as an IC, and have their hiking boot (they were kind enough to give a gift card for my work anniversary). They're okay, not super durable more like a lifestyle/outdoor kick around shoe in general. I would never hike more than a flat, easy day hike in them.

[@H..M..]

I have been in love with the Olukai brand since I saw them in Maui about 15 years ago and have bought a few pairs of their slides, but I just haven’t found a pair I can wear comfortably(they’re all too loose). Their slides and flip-flops feature some great designs, but imo are more style than function. And I suppose that if they actually made them in Hawaii they’d cost a few hundreds dollars a pair - which I might be willing to pay if they were wearable.

[@sandman6298]

@@H..M.. yep ,,loose , and I have a really tall arches and I can't hardly keep them on. The leather footbead is so smooth.. I'm back and forth with them.

[@markknister6272]

LOVE the flipflop$. Never loose, fit my foot 3E and high arch. I wear them when the weather is above 60* in Arizona. Shoes are pricey but so are the flipflop$.

[@DlK69]

thanks for showing us these interesting unique shoes. i'll very much consider this manufacturer because their golf shoe lineup has greap features and look sooo smooth.

[@therealgumby13]

I have been looking at a couple of their shoes and was wondering if they are good build! This video is perfect

[@FunFactOfTheDay]

You should do a flip-flop cut apart month during the summer! I picked up Olukai's top of the line flip flop (the 120 dollar full leather one) 3 years ago and have worn them every day of the week, year round for probably thousands of miles at this point - pushing 100 backpacking trips (basically every single weekend) and tons of other abuse, and they're still in basically perfect condition. It would be interesting to compare them to all the other flip flops out there like Reefs, Margaritaville, Rainbows, etc and see what is inside!

[@AuRowe]

Facts but just fyi Olukai is 100% made in China nowadays and if you're in Hi checkout Island Slipper and support local. They range from 70 - 150 USD but its so worth it, last longer than Olukai (some Olukai don't last long) and they size to your feet. The Mokalua is the best for flex and water. Also far more repairable since they're handmade. Island Slipper been around since the 1940's

[@davidazzolin1019]

Maybe check out Toe Hold flip flops.

[@k3134-x5d]

Can you do a video on the Nike adapt auto lacing shoes? I think it’d be really interesting to see how the internals on those shoes work

[@ryanh3635]

If you buy them, he'll chop em!

[@IggyEGuana]

The finest film making I’ve ever seen. Sorry I missed this five months ago. I saw these shoes at a store in San Diego. They were cool but kinda pricey. I couldn’t really justify it because slip on Vans are a thing. I’ve never missed an ice cream truck.

[@thesharpercoder]

I love the way he just cuts through everything, laces and all.

[@nearly-blindbrian8372]

they would be great for TSA check-point.

[@motorhead4875]

I bought Olukai recently and they awesome after ECCO snickers!

[@rubenbelodedici5702]

Sanuk beach shoes have had a fold down heel for a while

[@jimmccoys5778]

Love the ND1 cameo !! Cant wait till mine show up!! Great content as always and the costume changes are on point!!

[@timvibes]

Please review the Florsheim Crossover Lace Up shoes.

[@_BiggKuntry]

I would absolutely ROCK those grey ones at a "black tie event"!

[@marylinnell]

Huge props for the creativity of this video!

[@itsZdan]

great for a day at the beach

[@nickvoelker7180]

We used to just crush the counter of our Vans down to get the same effect. It only takes three or fourth months to get them completely broken in and comfortable.

[@isaacwilliamson7681]

Any chance of checking out origin boots?

[@SteveSpeirs]

New to your channel. Great video! Do you know if the Charcoal is still available from Olukai? Don't see them on their website. Thanks!

[@Looshbob]

Editing keeps getting better and better - hilarious outfit changes

[@jordangarrison7402]

Weston… could you please do a review and tear down of the Naglev boots or shoes??

[@DocktorHoop]

Careful Weston, people are starting to think you're just running infomercials for your sponsors --- you're going to lose your street cred lol

[@Gonzplays]

Need to do some leather kiziks. Their shoe system is awesome but I always wondered about the leather

[@JohnC-er3rg]

What kind of knife do you cut the shoe open with?

[@2wheelcobra]

Great job. Deserves more views

[@Aggnog]

Will we ever get an idrese nuno review. It's the best shoe that hasn't been cut open.

[@leepfrog7405]

Can you get the adidas superstar boot and do a vid on those? Please 😁

[@MatthewJBD]

The thumbnail didn't make me really wanna click on this video, I don't care about trainers/casual shoes... But the feature is interesting, glad I clicked. You should consider a new thumbnail

[@chrisj5796]

These videos are why i subscribe to this channel. Review and dissection of products i'm extremely interested in!

[@MotoGoato]

As a person who has just purchased a new set of 210cm long laces for their 14 eyelet boots .. this video gave me anxiety ..... thanks ..... 😂😂

[@Lakoda26]

me too

[@leopfeffer2419]

Looks like the Shoebaru Brat I once owned.

[@ryanh3635]

I swear this shoe is just a tariff modification to sell it like a slipper

[@ryankassel5691]

This was a fun video!

[@nicholaswoollhead6830]

But like - dont people usually untie their shoes to get them off? So even to use them as slippers you'd have to re-tie them

[@ClickClack_Bam]

Personally I don't get the whole "I'm too busy to be tying shoes" attitude that's going around.

[@lazaroramirez1372]

Since it is almost MOctober are going to do redwing red moc toe because it is different from the original redwings moc toe

[@loganplonski922]

Please incorporate more skits into your videos, you're killing it

[@mommailuvu]

I didn’t know I needed these

[@OoohWeeeDoe]

The title had me rolling because that's what i called them when i saw the ad lol

[@GetSum77777]

Consistency is the name of the game, great transitions lol

[@karem9605]

They look great , comfy, a pity that just yesterday I bought a pair of Clark trainers/shoe with a hard sole though :)

[@thomasbeckett1245]

I wore a pair for a year now, the tail , heal part is separating… otherwise they are fine, however where the wear is on the heal, they are falling apart.

[@christopherreitz4171]

Georgia Boot Review?

[@dbrown2746able]

I like them a lot. But I will be waiting for a nicks or red wing version

[@0f556]

The deadpan outfit changes was a high IQ move. 🤣

[@mdj.6179]

After featuring romeo boots I am surprised you never mention how laces may make you miss out on an opportunity for a quickie...

[@Gibsonfan1989]

You should check out Keen Cincinnati or San Jose

[@slicedmittens]

Seems like there is a market for luxury fashion house boots and quality of leather that has been left unexplored so far on your channel, if youre willing to cut those in half 😵‍💫🤕. i would definitely watch!

[@nicksboots]

A bit dramatic... 😒😂

[@jarodrolon4814]

Can you cut in half a pair of guidi luxury boots

[@StuffTested]

I bought a pair of these and they were quite a bit too orange for my liking.

[@Bentleemedia]

El Ranchero is cool too.

[@thechief043]

Man, you gotta invite more people to that killer party. Movies and frozen treats??

[@jeffreykatz1330]

Weston, OluKai is a staple for beach and boating, the reason they're not all leather!

[@hasibulhasan7330]

Old intro was cool. Missing that.

[@kartikchary]

😂😂😂😂🤣 lmao . That video is an accurate representation of what that damn shoe is about. I'm happy with my Nick's boots though.

[@BWM135]

Hey RA, just wanted to congratulate you on how far your channel has come. Can you clarify a couple of things for us if you haven't already? 1. Is this vid sponsored solely because Olukai provided the shoes for review, or were you paid additional compensation? 2. On "Sponsored" vids like this one, did you give Olukai copy approval over the video (The right for them to view and approve it before upload)? Going forward I'd be specific about these things in the video itself if you want to maintain your well-earned rep. We just want to know what we're watching is all. A good example of how to do this right is Michael Fisher's channel (Mr. Mobile). He always discloses what was provided to him, and if he maintained copy approval or the manufacturer bargained for that. All the best to you!

[@benblakemore4195]

Wow their awsome im gonna get some of those 😀😊

[@ImprovActors1]

I own a pair of these and I didn't know they did that :O

[@3212009a]

I hope he got paid well for doing this infomercial.

[@phillipdavis3041]

I made the mistake of buying a few pairs. They are Walmart quality but cost between 130 and 160.

[@F0XD1E]

I can't imagine standing on top of that folded down heel would be very comfortable. It looks good in normal mode but not really for that price.

[@mushieslushie]

I just keep slipons next to my shoes, problem solved.

[@richardnathandaniels2534]

Do I like these shoes? No. But do I like the video? YES!

[@jeffreykatz1330]

Weston cutting these boots in halve you've become mandatory viewing before purchasing!

[@oyster_3694]

I never would have even considered these! But because of your video, #funnyshit ! I think I need these! They now seem cool! Maybe I need to bring back my Mullet!

[@chrism4008]

I think youd have less trouble cutting soles if ypu used a blade with the exact opposite curve. Rather than a hook blade i think a scalpel shape would be much easier on the rubber at least

[@bollywood21]

Love the movie clip....very comical

[@starkparker16]

¡El Camino!

[@zomanzombie5049]

Nice!!

[@matthewjennings7645]

As a Floridian now living up North, these would be a great flip flop replacement... if only they didn't need socks

[@seanmcmillan472]

Those are nice

[@sporqfoon5989]

"I like your new sunglasses"

[@fredseekingbibleturth]

These remind me of Kizik shoes or Zeba shoes.

[@loungeevity4846]

You should cut Puma Suede in half

[@randynovick7972]

So, I need to snap into a slimjim? I'm confused, Macho Man.

[@jonmiplaystv3837]

The video killed me XD , It was great

[@pacsunzr2]

samual hubbard review?

[@random1725]

The shoe gave that blade a hard time.

[@robert9595]

Ugh its always bothered me, seeing people fold the back of their shoes... Especially when it's a patent leather shoe...ruined.

[@dislikebutton1935]

Classy crocs!

[@jeremynewell2541]

You know I have a couple of Vans I turned into dropdowns

[@MikeHaggarKJ]

This is an infomercial.

[@thesheepthemightythecrazy]

with the way I wear my shoes, I would go through that thin outsole rubber within a month.

[@coreymonday1375]

I swear the center cut score is completely random theres some that are nowhere near the center an it will be a 7.8

[@KeetNashJavyMartinez]

I just hate the feeling of that spine on my heel

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Neat shoes

[@gdbanks]

sounded like an ad

[@gqfiend]

There’s no way that wasn’t a real party. I don’t believe you.

[@jasangrey6729]

for the love of god why don't you use the saw for all these cuts
