The woman is trying to convince me to get a pair. She says they look nice and tons of PNW-types swear by these things. I think they look like they have cancerous AIDS. I tried on a pair and they immediately gave me a palsy. She claims they break in like butter.

Although originally from Chicago, I have been told I am a PNW type (Spent 4 years in Alaska and 4 in Washington State), and I wouldnt wear them. But thats just me.

 

[worship_mud]

i'm a a euro (my closest to the PNW was when i was in NYC once), but i wouldn't want to be seen dead with these. but that's just me.

Just buy your man slipper/boots and get it over with!


Actually, I have a pair and they are quite comfortable and durable. They don't look as dumb once they are broken in (and worn with jeans), but I almost threw up when I saw my first pair.

I don't think too many in the PNW wear these things, mostly the rednecks and wannabe types (me).

I have no experience, but the one in that picture is hideous.

Why not get something that looks good and is comfortable?

 

[H8R]

Those will make you look like a cabana boy with butt scabies. And that's not just me.

did she also tell you cooking meth is fun and exciting?

 

[Mo(n)arch]

is she the red head you disturb your neighbors with?

 

[JohnE]

For the right red head, I might wear them. And not much else.

 

[Da Peach]

Go with these instead

 

[Da Peach]

Does this guy wear them?

 

[Pesqueeb]

No.

I own a pair of Georgia boots, but they are real work boots. I can tell you that Georgia boots run a little large.

I know nothing about those shoes, and I wouldn't be caught dead in them.

Are you sure she didn't say "grow a pair"?

 

[CBJ]

I think the are fabulous and you should buy them. I can't believe the rest of you are not trying to talk him into getting them.

 

[mandown]

is she the red head you disturb your neighbors with?

yes. the one 12 years younger than i am.

For the right red head, I might wear them. And not much else.

that's my thought, too. disturbing as it may be.

My girlfriend works for the company that owns Sperry, Merrell, Patagonia and many others. I wear whatever shoes she brings home for me.

 

[pnj]

PNW types? I don't know anyone that wears those slippers.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Go for it. The boyz will swoon.

 

[mandown]

PNW types? I don't know anyone that wears those slippers.

she's from a smallish town in NW Washington, and swears they are standard issue. we were just in Bend, OR and i kept an eye out for anyone wearing them. i didn't see any walking around, so i asked why that was if "everybody wears them."

 

[bizutch]

I'm thinking a picture would help us decide if these boots are cool enough.

Of the red head, not the boots.

 

[narlus]

this thread.

 

[rockofullr]

I rock these in the office. Made by Merrell, comfortable as fvck, look good with any casual pants and no goofy strap/stitching/elastic stuff.

I like the brown but I'm sure the black is ok too.

 

[Mo(n)arch]

yes. the one 12 years younger than i am.

And what mature guy buys slippers???
Buy some of these badboys:

 

[mandown]

i'm not looking to buy any damn boots. i just was looking for agreement that these things look like they have the boot equivalent of down's syndrome.

 

[Jeremy R]

Your GWAR looking bandmates will beat the hell out of you if you wear those around them.

I think we can all agree on that. But like a child with down's syndrome, they'll grow on you

I'm thinking these "romeos" could be a nice comprimise. Original slipper/boot, combined with sleek rock 'n roller styling:

do they come with breast implants and a coupon for a free mullet at the local supercuts?

 

[4130biker]

hahahha,
I forgot to mention that they can be ordered with addition heel risers. I think it's like $10 for every 1/4"? That can't be said for the georgia boots.

This post is way funnier than you all realise...

[stevew]

I wear whatever shoes she brings home for me.

when she brings home a sundress in your size....wear boxers.

 

[bizutch]

Shhhhh. Play along and see where she's going with this one. Could lead to something....

Yea......free shoes.

 

[jimmydean]

While not those exactly, there were a lot of folks in the Navy that wore something similar refered to as "engineer boots" that were slip on.

Are those Blundstone wannabe's clipless compatible?
