AgentGrimstone,

Like heelies but the wheels are sideways so you use it like a skateboard. I don’t know how that would work but that’s what I want.

Sneakers/Tennis/Running shoes that have automatically pop/retracting heel wheels like Heelys

You lock your shoes together a certain way to engage the wheels which lock in place so you can skate around. When you’re done, you lock in the opposite direction which causes the wheels to eject and swing out to rest on the top of the shoe so it stays out of the way.

You get the ultimate tactical shoe that you can run and play sports in which also also double as Heelys when you need them to

Optionally, make the wheels electric powered as well lol

I just want basic running shoes that are $30/pair and will not change in any way for the next 40 years. Basically, I just want a pair of New Balance shoes on sale from joesnewbalanceoutlet.com for the good old price they used to offer 3 years ago. The only problem with them at the moment is they have raised the price floor to $40 and the style rotates too much. I just want the same stupid thing every time.

Some key features:

  1. a little rubber around the toe to keep the puddles out
  2. breathable top
  3. cushy bottom
  4. dont change

I hear a lot of this BIFL for shoes stuff. I have no intention of keeping my shoes longer than 6-9 months. At $30/pair, they are disposable. When I accidentally step in dog crap, they become disposable immediately.

I also have no interest in leather. Might last a long time, but for me it is like putting a ziplock bag on my feet and it turns into a swamp real fast.

HonorIsDead,

Id need a fan to get rid of moisture when it’s hot and my feet are sweaty.

Quick swap method for the tread of the bottom as it becomes worn or to suit another purpose - need nonslip non conductive bottom at work -swap as needed or maybe need better support for long distance running on pavement for your work out - swap to the tread for that

Shoe laces are gone I want a one hand quick latch or something. I’ve seen them on helmets adapt it to a shoe please.

technologicalcaveman,

My favorite shoes are the Red Wing Iron Ranger's. I worked for them for 3 years and when I left I was gifted my second pair. They're great shoes in everyway. I only wish they had an 8 inch version available in the states. They had one back then in Europe, but nothing stateside. My two sets and the pile of other shoes I got when I worked there have been going strong some years on so I haven't boot shopped in a while, maybe they finally took my advice and did it.

So like leather barefoot shoes? Those exist.

Nemo,

Do they look appropriate for semiformap occasions, though?

jol,

I searched for “leather barefoot shoes” and found several. Example

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I would just like some width varieties as well as length.

Something breathable like canvas but it is more durable than leather. The soles are as tough as possible while staying flexible enough to accommodate squatting. The soles are designed to be replaced multiple times without damaging the rest of the shoes.

It would have a composite protective toe, few to no seams, and laces that can snug it up to your foot if you tug them and hook them, but the shoes would stay on if you don’t do anything to the laces. Like, they just wouldn’t be as supportive without snugging them up.

It would have aggressive arch supports, or else come with several different inserts for different arch support needs.

Also, very wide toe box designed around normal toes, not squashing toes into a narrow or unnaturally shaped space.

Good soles that don’t fall off while walking.

LemmyIsFantastic,

Slip in (already a thing) and machine washable.

GeniusIsme,

I agree. With “Lemmy is fantastic” part, too.

LemmyIsFantastic,

It’s meh. It could be fantastic but communist have taken it over and it’ll die down over there next few years.

I hope to be proven wrong but this place is just going to end up being fancy forums after everyone bans every opinion they hate and defederates.

I’ll probably be back on Reddit inside a year 😑

    Jaytreeman,

    It's always the quintessential Redditor that complains about the fediverse.

    This place is so much more positive than Reddit. Maybe you'd notice your mood improve a bit if you tried to participate in a positive way.

    weariedfae,

    I’d settle for perfectly comfortableshoes but for special features I’d have to say…

    Okok

    So they’re sandals. Perfect comfort and air flow but they have a forcefield to repel dirt, rocks, water, etc.

    And I’m thinking like hiking sandals so good traction as well.

    Yes, these would be the most perfect shoes ever.

    A phone in the sole so I can smell what I've been stepping in while talking to my friends.

    shinigamiookamiryuu,

    Ruby slippers

    TheBananaKing,

    Steel radial truck-tyre soles. Sick of wearing through them in a few months.

    Fits my weird-shaped feet (wide fitting, deep through the instep).

    Uppers squashy enough not to destroy my feet after an all-day hike, but hard-wearing enough not to fall apart.

    Rocket shoes? Yeah, definitely rocket shoes
