gringal Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Not that anyone seems to care, but IMHO, CROCS are a visual blight. Besides, when I tried them on, they felt like they'd get hot and sticky. Just one biased opinion, of course. I like San Miguel shoes for the cobbles and they stretch in the heat.

ComputerGuy Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 On cobblestones, the ankle support is less important (make that, very dependent) than the "grab" of the outsole. If the shoe does well, then there is less sliding off the cobbles and less ankle-twisting. If the shoe does poorly, then yes, ankle support can be very important.

Saw a great cartoon once. Woman is sitting on the edge of the doctor's examining table. Doctor is standing in front of her with a shoe box in his hand. Side of the shoe box says Birkenstocks. Doctor says, "Sorry, I'm all out of birth control pills, but here, try these". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civiized people use crocs with socks Gringal. :-) :-) :-) Joking aside cotton socks do fix that problem. You are correct without socks. What are San Miguel shoes???

ned small Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Shoes that fit with tread on the sole. and if you're a woman take walking lessons from a Mexican. They seem to have no trouble on the highest of heels even after a few pops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideSky Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 When I see a group of women in stilettos, I want to hip check the outsider and then watch the domino effect. I wonder if there is a competition to see who can teeter the best and not break an ankle or a heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfresh Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I've got to say Keens are the best shoes for all conditions on the cobblestones. I've got six different pairs and all with great rigidity in the sole, so your foot doesn't wrap around a cobble, plus they would get sucked off my foot when crossing the street with 4" of rain flowing by. Wet or dry, Keens are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
