I tried the new Nike Calm slides, wasn't too impressed, I listed 5 alternatives in the description that you should try instead IMO! But we all have different feet, these just might not be for me.
Thanks for the review! Are you excited for the new balance foam slides coming out? The MRSHN slides? 👽👽👽
I didn’t know about the sizing and was so disappointed worn I got mine but my daughter really likes them. She wears a woman’s 8 and they fit kinda loose but perfect with socks. She likes the height and squish but I think it’s because she likes platform shoes and such.
@@D3L3T3he already reviewed the MRSHN. Although, a FFX version might be squishier.
Be interesting if NB releases a FuelCell slide.
Adilette Boost was a near disappointment. Good thing I only paid $20 for them.
I’d like to see a lightstrike pro slide in the future.
Personally, I’m very happy with my Temu $15 ‘feezee faux sheezee’ slides
Always good content I go to your channel before I impulse buy much appreciated 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I was excited for these originally, but glad I watched your vid. Will definitely be checking out some of those Croc slides instead!
Your reviews are always helpful bcuz you bring other items in as a comparison for folks to get a idea from
Reef’s Double Oasis are my recent pick up. Suppose to be my beach/outdoor slide but they’ve turned into my daily’s. Go down a size and you’re good.
Thank you for being honest here. I watched a couple of other reviews praising these slides. I slipped these on and placed them right back in the box and mailed them back. I was super disappointed in the feel and almost no comfort. On my return I told Nike to try again and use Zoomx foam. I will credit Nike with those slides lasting a while. Between the bottoms being durable and not getting use due to being uncomfortable, they will last forever in a closet.
100% zoomx slide would be so good 😮
definitely one of the heaviest slides I've worn. shape is narrow as well, had blisters on my right foot because of this. I'm a size 8, I tried the size 9 and it was too big for me so I bought a size 8, it's too narrow, but I still bought it under the assumption that the rubber's going to stretch but nah.
I love these things. They’re perfect.
Got a size 12 and 13 in black, I'm usually a 12 TTS but glad I got the 13 because it fit wayyy better. Still didn't like the cushion and Hes is right, does not feel like a $50 slide. It does not seem to be made for my narrow feet. Ended up returning both.
i think alot of resellers hate on the calm slide, since the average joe would go and buy calm slides instead of buying yeezy's on the resale markets
Just picked up a pair of the Hoka recovery 3 slides, been wearing them about 2 weeks and they are incredible IMO. Can’t wait to see your review on them. I might have to pick up those echo slides on your recommendation! They kinda seem similar.
Just purchased a pair, thank god I’m hearing good things
After 2 weeks of wear, they do get better. Very comfortable, you need to break them in
do they wear down or keep the same shape?
Answer Bro question please
yeah bro answer bro question
Man....I'm sorry. I try to stay out of comments but the slide bashing was too much. I watched this review and try it yourself. Some others on here all just d riding without giving them a shot. I just got mines and tried them on. They are great. They are definitely comfortable. Don't get what people are saying they are not. And they are not yzy knock offs. How many ways can you make a slide. Stop it. My wife first impression was AF1. I see more of that than yzy slides. I went up 1 size due to wide feet and they felt great! 12 to a 13. I have yzy slides, sneakers, nike slides and jordans, so my opinion isn't bias. These actually look better to me. I never like the wavy bottoms of yzy slides. Also, if I can't get it for retail I'm not getting it. Paying 100+ for slides is ridiculous. Bought all 3 colorways of these for less than 170. That's a steal. Either way stop the hate and try something new.
Got my offcourt adjusts, they are so comfortable. I wish my shoes were that comfy. I'm a fussy sob too. I almost went for these or yeezys, but saw sense. Not cheap but still worth the 40 uk. Definitely getting my dad some.
Have my exact size and they are great, very comfortable and snug on the foot.
I went a Size up and from my experience they are the most comfortable slides I've had yet
So is that worth buying calm slides?
@@jazzx001yes it is
Do a review on these ‘Nike Air More Uptempo Slide” Plz
very curious to know how you feel about Birkenstock eva versus a lot of these slides. your thoughts please!!!!
Mines fit SO slim. I️ took them back & im trying for a bigger size next drop.
I’m surprised no one has done a nike calm vs Adilette 22. Since they were both compared to the yeezy so much prior to launch. I’d like to see that if you can.
Bro, could you please make a review video of jordan post slides and comparison with Calm slides and Crocs mellow slides
I had a similar experience when first trying them on , but I'm a week into wearing them and I have to disagree on this one. Fit and feel seems ok to me and the foam breaks in nicely. Overall I really like the look/simplicity of them with the added traction/durability.
is it absorb water? like adidas adilette?
So for those that don’t know, even with wear, they’ll still blister. EVA is non breathable and causes your foot to sweat. Moderate degrees of moisture increases friction on the skin therefore blistering the foot
I love my calm slides bruh
I think the slides in my recent shorts are way better then calm slides ‼️
I’m glad I waited for your review before pulling the trigger on these. I’m also a wide footer, flat footed too, so I do prefer some support in any of my footwear. So far my favorite slides are the Crocs Mellow and the Puma Shibui Cat. Both are sufficiently soft and squishy but do not feel unstable.
I just ordered the shibuis
Bro get the crocs echo slides. They’re a game changer. Most comfortable slide I’ve ever worn in my life hands down.
@@AvenjaysGuitar I’ve tried them on and you’re correct; they are crazy comfortable. I just don’t like the way they look. I much prefer the Echo clogs, which is what I ended up getting.
Same. I have wide feet too. Sucks these don’t look like they will work especially for wide feet people. I’m getting tired of wearing crocs as slides all the time
@@AvenjaysGuitar How long do they take to break in and get soft, also would you say they are comfier than the yeezy slides?
The first time I put them on I noticed they're shaped weird they're pretty comfortable after you get used to them though
Bro these are by far the best premium slides available in the market right now. Super durable compared to the frail YZY slides. After wearing them a week or so, they feel absolutely amazing.
You’re the man hes
I have a pair of Nike slides that are 25 years old and still holding up and very comfortable. Do you think you could help me identify them if I showed you a picture?
Adidas makes the best slides, crocs classic clogs are great but there new echo clogs are even more comfortable only 2 foams id recommended
Anyone tried these long term yet? I'm wondering if the strap area stretches out at all because my size 9s are just a bit tight on the toes but a size 10 is too loose.
i ussually use 43 for sneaker. Remembering that these slides don't have size 43. What size should I take?
These are amazing. I love mine.
Do you recommend true to size or up a size?
Do a review on the Hoka one one recovery slide. No one ever talk about it but it is by far the most comfortable slide for cushion a stability. It’s a slide you can wear all day without and foot fatigue.
Working on it the recovery 3 is what i got so far excellent pair
I have never bought Nike till the Invincible run 2 and from watching your videos or I wouldn't have even bought it and I love it !...now most folks bought this slide because the swoosh.....and I'll never buy any brand before watching reviews on the shoe I like ever again. I think it was this slide I tired on and hated it. I am on the fence still between oofos spell check and hoka and the new eco slide from crocks
I have a narrow long foot and normally wear a size 13. I had to go up to a 14 and these are super loose and will not stay in my foot . If you have a super wide foot they will probably stay on
I 💯% trust your reviews so da calms are definitely a no go BUT you did steer me into da right direction wit those ASICS 3-D slides which are da King 👑 of slides in my opinion 💪🏼🔥💪🏼
Yeah I wonder why he didn't recommend them in this video
They’re supposedly discontinued
can you review the allbirds sugar slide
Let's see a review of the newer Project Rock slides
I got a pair, these fit great. I have narrow feet though
I got them and they feel great
Review the Jordan post silde
Damn was really hopping these were going to go head to head with the yeezy slides
what kind of pants are those?
I wish more slides were adjustable. I have a very wide foot and while I can make narrow shoes work by stretching them out, for the majority of these kinds of slides because of the materials, it’s impossible, and I can barely even get them on my foot. Anyone reading this, have you tried the new Airmax one slides? I really want that pair but I feel like it’s just going to be an instant return because there won’t be enough
width for me.
If you want an adjustable strap, Adidas Alphabounce Slides.
Just copped for $25 at my outlet!! For that price I ain’t made at it 😂🤷🏿♂️
my favorite slides so far are the asics actibreeze 3d, but damn, when are they ever in stock?!
Discontinued apparently
I swear the first thing that came to mind when I saw these was that they looked a lot like slippers my grandmother's used to wear lol.
Everything you said was fact
From the rip had I ordered a 10 my true size was to small had to return and order a size 13 because I like slides not all tight the calm definitely
fits snug so I reorder a 13 so I can have room & wear comfortable
Also it feel weird
had to break them in to get use to
TIPS: LET PEOPLE CUSTOMIZE CALM SLIDE SAME WAY YOU DO AIR FORCE 1'S
yup gonna have to disagree with this one. too negative. when I saw the vid, I was like “let me go see for myself what they feel like.” I went to foot locker and they felt odd at first but honestly after walking around in them for like 2 minutes, I bought them. they felt really comfy and I really dig the look of them. now after like a 2 weeks of using em regularly, I can confidently say that they are worth the $50 I spent. very happy I bought them. I copped the sesame colorway and I couldnt be more satisfied with a slide.
I'm 11.5 to 12. I got 12 and they fit. Comfort is a 3 of 10. Totally feel like concrete on my feet, and those ridges on the footbed make it so much worse. Also, I'm flat-footed, and these have a high arch. Makes them cause more pain.
Im glad im not the only one let down by these!
@@heskicks I had such high hopes, too. Def swing and miss. Thank you for all your content!
I just got the echo slides and they mad crazy
how do they compare to yeezys? How long does it take for them to get soft, i'm thinking of getting some in April or May
As a widefooter, the slides crinkle on the corners of the top. Then in the middle near the arch its like a stiffer build purposely and its not comfortable. I definitely wouldn’t recommend either
Their marketing killed this shoe, as well as the “hype” surrounding it. I was definitely disappointed in the comfort as these. Out the box..stiff af. Felt like we all played ourselves lol. Sizing: bought my tts 10 and it fits fine with me. Not a wide footer btw.
Thx for the feedback!
Yo hes how do I get a pair of them pdx carpet Apthcry socks?
I wear these at least once every 2 weeks and i notice that I get pain in my knees and my hip almost as if I’ve been working out ,I like them but the pain is not it has this happen to anyone else?
Review a pair of Kane footwear shoes for recovery
Yh bruh got these and went up a size too but the front is super tight cause I have wide feet to
What kind of socks are you wearing?
I returned mine’s immediately. Hated the tight flap, they run small and the overall feel with the air force one bottom HATED THEM!!!!
For how many people complain that Adidas copies Yeezy, these sure seem to have a very specific inspiration 🤔
Yeezy slides aren't even original they're just prison sandals.
How can a company that basically owned the rights and manufactured items of that brand steal from it . Almost every Yeezy design was a collaboration and used multiple proprietary shoe technology already made. Because of Yeezy Adidas ended production of Tubular because of its insane similarity .
Agreed. People will do mental gymnastics to prove a point when it's all hypocrisy.
Yeezy slides aren’t original
Dont listen hype they fit good love em
I swear that side view of the slides sole, really looks like a black airforce 1
They definitely run narrow. Not sure how I feel about them yet as I wanna fully break the foam in first.
"Innovation" 😂
Got these and one slide was bigger than the other. Sent them right back to Nike lmaoo
Shout out that Apthcry 👀
Nike ZoomX VaporSlides ⚡️
thxxxx
Am I REMOTELY surprised?!? Amazing, Hes ..... The best thing about them is the Swoosh?!?
😂
feels very weird on foot. The strap feels tight on the sides of my foot and I don't even have a wide foot
I like them
I got a 12 and they cool with, but i don’t have foot issues, no wide feet mo arch problems so they good with me! I do like the echo slides better
I’m gonna buy one more crocs eco slides after watching this Nike slides 😂
Echo slides the real deal!
Nike always runs super narrow.. I always size a half size up in shoes.. full size if not more on slides and sandals, eg. I'm a 10.5 and wear a 11, wear a 12 in slides, for nike. That said, got the calms and feel ya, they're still not wide enough and I didn't think squishy enough. let me down. Sick PDX socks.
I have both crocs slides and Nike slides and I can say the Nikes feels less comfortable than the croc slides. There much harder/stiffer than the others. Just walking around the house after awhile it starts to feel odd.
If you want to stick with Nike get the off court adjust slide
I just got the echo slide in and honestly I don't like them. Sure they are comfortable (step-in) but thats all they got going for them. 1) These are highly unstable and dangerous (feels narrowish). 2) When walking and foot is lifted, the foot falls off the slide (hence why they came out with a strap) The fact that you can seriously twist your ankle EASILY makes this a terrible slide. Unless it needs some time to break-in and flatten out or widen itself out i do not recommend. Maybe should have gone the mellow slide route or try out the Costco slide. But for now, yeezy slides are probably the best. Most expensive but they literally have no cons besides finding the right size.
Chill u have to wear them for abit
Sorry to hear! I love hearing either side of it tho! They didnt feel unstable to me at all they are so wide, but good feedback
I was so disappointed with these slides when I got them last week. My work boots are more comfortable
They are tall, but too narrow, and because they are so unstable I broke my foot wearing them. I was walking down stairs normally when my foot completely rolls under me, pulling a tendon and cracking part of the bone.
I feel like they get better the more you wear em, they felt so stiff when I first got em
Can be renamed as Walmart-Replica-Yeezy Slides. Also, Nike only paid $2-$3 on each pair in Vietnam😂😂
And you don't think Yeezy slides cost $1to make in China?
they need a v2 , of a different material
Slides like these have been around forever, yet so many youngsters seem to believe that Ye invented them.
NGL the calm slides weren't comfy day 1 day 5 now wearing them around and breaking them in they're fire
Maybe cos ur wearing size 10 rather than size 9.5?
I got these and i feel the stability is better than a Yeezy. True they are not as comfortable as the Yeezy but its not bad either, i have a flat foot and the arch it slightly off-putting but with time that should break down. Overall i gave them an 8/10
Paying all this money for foam is crazy
New balence vs adidas vs crocs vs nike [ slide]🎉
Jordan slides
Nah L take He's kicks
Copped these and they're fire. Yes yeezy slides are softer yet yeezy slides are almost TOO soft. Really easy to feel like you're going to roll your ankle in those and the tread wears away super fast.
Comparatively the calms have a really nice solid tread and sole, they're durable af and they're still comfortable without feeling like you're going to roll your ankle because the cushioning is too extra soft like yeezys. The calms are excellent.
If you're feeling pressure in the balls of your feet with the calms then you're flat footed. My feet are arched so I don't have that problem. With the calms you're also going to want to size up from your tts since they run small. If you have narrow feet you can go tts. People also keep saying "they're stiff out the box" again, they weren't stiff for me, they were quite comfortable yet solid feeling on foot, sturdy. And also once you break them in a bit the comfort only goes up.
Got the calms in black and getting them in sesame/khaki next and also eyeing those red ones. Calms are fire and I prefer them over my yeezy slides (which are discontinued anyway) y'all keep sleeping on these calm greatness.
Sliders*
I deagrea
i went half a size up and i can’t even get my big ass foot through it 🤣
I could see the way you foot is turning as you’re stepping down so I see exactly what you’re talking about so it’s a pass for me!
It’s amusing to me to see how someone that reviews shoes for a living can be so out of touch with footwear. I have the exact same slides you have. Black, size 10 and I’m a true size 10 so they fit snug. But maybe that’s your problem, that you went for what you think comfort would be (larger size to give your foot space) but I find that the true size locks your foot in place and keeps your foot pretty stable. Again, stability being a gripe of yours. This whole video has vague cons (looks weird, fits weird, isn’t a yeezy). So yeah, it’s not a Yeezy and if that’s what you prefer on foot, wear that and say that. But to be negative about a good product simply because it’s not what you want/expect is a bad take.
man do u know what a review is
@@potsuaye69a review is not personal unless stated. Bad review. L video
I know I’m late but definitely agree that the slide size 10 is too big for him. You can see it in the video. Wouldn’t surprise me if he could even wear a size 9. To your point, that will definitely change how a shoe feels. 🤷🏽♂️
Agreed. This guy was way off. The calm slides are amazing. They're actually better than yeezy slides because yeezy slides are almost TOO soft, so they don't provide any stability. These slides were soft and very solid and stable and they look great. I sized up to 12 from 11 in black and they fit me so perfectly and were really comfortable. He's kicks just has a hate boner out for these for no reason and then wants to try and push a bunch of whack alternatives lmao
I agree 100 percent! I don’t find stability an issue. Maybe work on your balance lol. It’s not a Yeezy. It’s also not as bulky as a Yeezy. Funny thing is the echo looked exactly the same in video when walking or moving around. Back to the calm slides. They are definitely comfortable. Made of foam what else would you expect. They don’t move around on my feet but also think he should have got a size correct with his foot. They are true to size
I tried them. Awful. Awful shape. The strap is way too big. It pushes your foot back, so my heel hangs over the back.
Like no thought went it to these. Crazy they made it to market.
I got a pair today from footlocker I don’t have a fat foot so they feel fine to me.
Like he said in the video, if you have wide feet these are not for you.
