I agree, but they're the most comfortable athletic shoe I've ever owned. They're more comfy than my Brooks, Saucony, and ASICS.

OC's and hey dudes are strictly for followers/trying to be trending/cool fellas. of course their defense is "you're gay blah blah other men's choices blah fricking blah" reality is those guys have no sense of style and constantly just wear what they see is popular. Or their wives dress them because she knows their style sucks and its easier for her to just go with the flow. which is a little better than the first reason. It's basically a huge beta flag. I know, I know I'm gay for noticing how horribly lame you guys are.

I bought some OCs for work, I walk 12 miles a day on concrete floors, and they don’t do it for me. I don’t know if they aren’t right for my foot profile or what, but they are not comfortable at all. I went back to my ASICS, those gel nimbus ASICS are the most comfortable thing I’ve ever owned.

I've got some freebirds that are real comfortable. I also have a pair of HeyDudes that I primarily wear on the boat. Can fish in them all day with or without socks and they don't stink like some other "fishing" shoes.

For me, On Clouds aren’t anymore comfortable than other major athletic shoe brands. I hated the soles because the rubber wore down quickly, and the shoes were slick on wet pavement. Also, the pockets always picked up rocks.

False, I was wearing Hey Dudes almost three years ago. This is far before they became “trendy”. You’re probably the guy who’s been wearing Sperry’s for years because of how “comfortable” they are. Those frickers will actually eat your heel/Achilles tendon away.

Hey Dudes by a mile.

I bought some to figure out what the hype was about. Maybe put them on my feet for 5 minutes and trashed them. They’re hideous and made me feel like I’d given up in life.

Holy shite, man. Get some help.

The last two pairs of running shoes I’ve had we on clouds. They were a significant upgrade over Nike. I’ve never heard of dude shoes. I don’t wear that type of shoe for fashion so it doesn’t really matter to me. Just want what performs the best.
