I will defend my Sketchers Slip-ons to the death. The individual who designed these ultimate shoes should be awarded an Oscar, an Emmy, the Stanley Cup, and a Nobel Peace Prize.
John, I’m not sure what kind of legacy I’ll leave behind—but I do know it won’t be as impactful as whoever invented Skechers Slip-ons. You’re right. Give that legend the full EGOT plus MVP. And maybe a street named after them in every cul-de-sac in America.
Don’t worry, Chris—true dad status isn’t about the shoes you wear, it’s about the volume you sigh when sitting down. But still… might be time to invest in a pair of white New Balances. Just saying.

Thanks for this. Clearly I’ve been doing something wrong for the past ten years. I don’t have ANY of these 😟

I hadn’t realized this but I’m deep into my Hoka and step count phase.
Ah yes, the Hoka Era—where comfort is king and your watch judges you for sitting too long.
Honestly? It’s a power move. Arch support and ambition? Unstoppable combo.
My sons just informed me they are packing 9,000
points and don't care 😂
9,000 points and not a single arch supported.
Meanwhile, I’m over here in orthopedic-grade dad shoes just trying to make it through Costco without pulling a hamstring.
They’ve got youth. I’ve got cushioning. Let’s call it even.
Love this! Moms wear Skechers too. 5 pairs have become my entire shoe collection.
Five pairs? That’s not a collection—that’s a rotation strategy.
At this point, Skechers should just sponsor parents everywhere. We’re out here logging miles, carrying snacks, and dodging LEGO landmines like pros.
Exactly. :)
Dying to know what the Dad Jibbitz would include.
– A tiny remote with no batteries
– A grill spatula
– A mini bottle of ibuprofen
– A mystery allen wrench
– A “World’s Okayest Dad” badge
– And of course… a single LEGO brick (for trauma bonding)
Limited edition: includes a Crocs-compatible snack holster.
Chuckies are cool, but boy do they hurt. Besides, it looks like I'm trying too hard.
Exactly. Chuck Taylors say “cool dad,” but my arches scream “you’re 40 and made of regrets.”
Give me that orthopedic sole and enough room for my dignity and a backup snack. Fashion can wait.
