Great review. I just bought a pair today. I agree with everything you said. I got them primarily for hanging out on the back deck. My only negative is that the laces are something that I am going to have to get used to.
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts! Hanging out on the deck sounds perfect for a pair of Hey Dudes. And I understand about the laces but you can use them to adjust the tightness of the shoe.
Which models were you comparing ?
Mostly I was comparing the brands in general because I believe there is some design consistency within each brand. But yes, the model would make a big difference in the experience. In the video I had the Cloud Runner and Cloudmonster from ON and the Arahi and Bondi from Hoka. Huge thanks for checking out the video and asking!
What is THEE best razor, money as a non issue??
The best would be difficult to say of course because everyone is different. But I can tell you my fave so far is the Gillette Labs Cartridge. For me it’s smooth and efficient. Huge thanks for checking out the video and asking!
I can’t get past Hoka’s looking like glorified athletic Dino stompers.
So true🤣. I’ve gotten used to the looks and really like my Hokas. But yes they are funny looking. Big thanks for checking out the video And sharing your thoughts!
Thank you! Great comparison video.
Big thanks for checking out the video and for this comment! I do hope it was helpful.
Hocus are better. They're a little more money but they're a better shoe. The only thing I don't like about him is their laces. They're very weak and lazy They don't have much body to them.
I really like my Hoka Bondi, they are my favorite shoe for being active. I don’t know about better however 🤷🏾♂️. Although I can see why many people would prefer Hoka. Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!
Wore Hokas for a few weeks, switched back to Nike Air Max and the Nikes hurt the bottoms of my foot right away for several days.
Air max were my go to for years and years. But agreed they are not as comfortable as Hokas. Air max still look cool tho! Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience!
I like hoka better but best comfortable sneaker is pegasus
You know I haven’t tried the Pegasus. Gonna have to check it out. Currently working on the Invincible Run 3. I wonder if the Pegasus compare 🤔 Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts!
ON!
I really enjoy ON Cloud shoes. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Trailer park loafers.
On is one of the worse company's out there. I bought a set of the On-Running Water Proof 5 and the sole has gone flat. I can feel all of the rocks and bumps on the road. and when I ask them to fix my shoes under a warranty (4 months of ownership) they told me to kick rocks. The Olympic champion didn't wear "On" shows. Avoid these shows.... the company is trash! PURE TRASH..
Thanks for sharing this experience and that sucks! After four months I feel like they should have stood on warranty and sent a replacement. Now I will say all of my shoe soles get that kinda flat feeling after some time and steps. It really just depends and my On shoes have held up okay. Not any more or less durable than most. Still disappointing to hear since I like ONs comfort.
I am a heavy guy approx 300 lbs and i prefer the hoka's because the On Clouds are almost too soft and i almost roll my ankle.
I can see how Hokas would be more comfortable. I really enjoy my Hoka Bondi, they’re some of my faves. Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thought!
pf flyers are underrated, i could run a marathon in those things
Ya know I’ve never tried PF Flyers but I looked them up and they remind me of Chuck Taylor’s. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts.
Your a smart dude. Never get caught up in hype something better always comes along. Most things we don't need its marketing that tricks us into needing it. Most stuff is overpriced cause most overpay cause of emotions. Most want to be rich to brag than actually enjoy the purchase or experience.
Dunning what’s your name bro? Huge thanks for checking out these videos and taking time to comment!! Agreed 100%, can’t buy into the hype but it’s challenging. Brand loyalty and beliefs run deep.
Nice comparison. Thanks!
Huge thanks for checking out the video and commenting! I hope it was helpful.
Thanks for a great video!!!
Big thanks for this comment of for checking out the video!
Thank you sir 🙏🏻 just booked a trip here for me and my girlfriend, super excited!!
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing a comment!. Hope you have a great trip. I think the Grande Vista works for families but still could work well for a couple!
I bought a pair on sale for $35. because i was curious to what they were. i would never pay full price for these. they are junk. Bottom line, junk. They are kind of comfortable for a minute until your feet start sweating. The soul is literally a thin piece or rubber. They are vary hot, non breathable and will make your feet sweat. Like i said, they are comfortable for a min, until the thin soul packs down and there is nothing left between your feet and the ground. The only thing they have going for them is they are very lightweight. But what is that worth? Not a shoe for adults.. maybe a child.
Big thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. Great example of how much experiences can vary. I’ve enjoyed my Hey Dudes but admittedly I haven’t worn my down, even though I’ve put lots of miles on them. I usually wear them casually. Also I usually wear sock so sweat hasn’t been an issue. But yeah if the shoe sole goes flat they’d be trash

Such an interesting comment?🤔. Wheelchair Larry? I only know one person that called me that. Do you know Swan? Thanks for checking out the video and for the Amazon tip!
derby black blades amazon 200 for $10 wheelchair larry
Thanks for the review. It's very helpful. Going to resort
So glad it helped. Have an awesome trip. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
I'm a lineman, I wear thorogoods for work and hey dude's when I'm not working. Hey dude's have a similar toe box to thorogoods, which are moc toe boots. They're very comfortable and great for casual wear!
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience! I’m sure the Hey Dudes feel great after a full day in work boots. Agreed, great for casual wear.
Great review. I love DE razors, but I still use the Mach 3 sometimes. I decided to do my own super test, and it gave me 24, (yes 24) comfortable shaves so far. That's a two-pass shave every time. So, Gillette is right claiming the blades will give you 15 good shaves. Again, DE shaving is cool, but when it comes to cartridges, Mach 3 is the king. No tugging, no cuts, no irritation. Just a great razor. And for me, no need for more than 3 blades. But the key is to enjoy whatever type of razor you're using. It's all fun.
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience. Yes the Mach 3 gets the jobs done. Still very serviceable after all these years.
Better than toms
Ya know I never tried Toms 🤔. But I can say Hey Dudes are worth trying. Huge thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
subscribed the moment i read the shirt 🤘
The t-shirt is the best part of the video! 🤣 Big thanks for the comment and the sub!
Ross has HOKA everyday in the Men's Dept.... but not so much in the Women's Dept.... just know that it's Random Selection store to store and good luck finding a pair in your size and colors you like
Agreed you’re not going to get the pick of the litter at Ross but I’ve seen respectable deals. It does come down to luck. Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts!
Both poser trash! Overpriced and underperforming. Also no style just crap. These shoes identify as shoes but are not must be why gen z wears them
never ask what a german company did between 1939-1945 😂
🤣 truth. Big thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
I lived in Germany 2011-2014 and was where I first learned about these 2 brands. Been wearing both ever since.
Early adopter. I can see why both brands appealed to you. Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience!
Another great review Larry, very in depth!
What’s up sir! Huge huge thanks for checking out the video and taking time to comment. As always, much appreciated. Hope you and your family are doing well!
@@fitnessnbeer9835Everyone is good Larry:) Hope you and your family are well!
keep up your work man!! 👏🏼
Much thank you for checking out the video and for this comment!
Bought a pair of Hoka and had to return them for a pair of on coulds. The hokas were killing the tip of my toes
Big thanks for sharing your experience and for checking out the video! Bum deal with the Hokas causing pain. I’ve had a good experience with the brand. But yeah toe pain would def be a dealbreaker.
Yes , at age 55 l finally started using HOKAS and WOW. I can’t believe I never tried them before. My feet feel great after a run or walk. I will never waste my money on any other brand of shoes.
Understandable, when you find something that works it’s tuff to deviate. Glad you found something that works. I really like my Hokas too. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting!

Hola, como estas? Me gustan mucho tus videos. Cual hotel me recomendas de todos los que fuiste en Orlando? Somos dos adultos, un chico de 20 y uno de 12. Saludos y muchas gracias
Soy muy bien. Muchas gracias para busca los videos. Para Orlando me gusta el Marriott Grande Vista y el Marriott Cypress Harbour. Tambien me gusta HGV Par Soliel. Neccesito practicar mi espanol.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Hablas muy bien español, muchas gracias por responder. Consulta, que te parece Margaritaville Resort y Reunión Resort&golf?
King Gillette has the same refill cartridges (razors for neck shaving) that will fit on the handle and they are cheaper. It is the same company
Huge thanks for the tip and for checking out the video! I had no idea the King Gillette for neck shaving existed. It’s absolutely the same thing in a different package 🤣I’m going to have to try that out.
Very good review
Huge thanks for this comment!
doubles opened up at UPs for me and i ended the week with 51 hours being a part time employee but my feet are seriously killing me and i dont know what to choose for wide feet
nothing compares to Nike Scorpio
I got 17 pairs of Hoka and love each and every one of them (Especially my Bondi 8 and Clifton 9)
Huge thanks for checking g out the video and sharing your thoughts! I really like the Hoka Bondi. My favorite shoes for running and working out.
Hoka
Huge thanks for checking g out the video and sharing your thoughts. I like Hoka a lot too, just not better than ON.
That's a great video. I'm planning to go there in October and would like to know if I can buy fresh meat at the supermarket in the resort.
Huge thanks for this comment and for checking out the video! The Market is mostly prepared food and snacks unfortunately no fresh meat but there’s a Publix nearby that’s not too inconvenient.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 Thank you for your quick reply. We will mainly buy souvenirs at the market in the resort, and we will buy meat and vegetables for cooking in the room at Publix. Thank you for your kindnesses.
Thanks this was helpful
Thanks for checking out the video and for this comment!
I'm from the Uk and have just returned from a Tennessee road trip holiday. I hadn't seen or heard of the brand. I quickly noticed literally every I would say third person were wearing Hey Dudes!
Huge thanks for checking out the video And sharing your experience! Did seeing so many convince you to get a pair of Hey Dudes while on your road trip?🤣. I’m sure they were also selling in lots of shops when’re you visited.
@@fitnessnbeer9835 yes wearing them right now!
Your momma is adorable! And I agree with her Hokas! Which style does she wear?
Thank you that’s super kind to say. Huge thanks for checking out the video. I’m not sure which style of Hokas my mom has 🤔. I should find out.
I wear Hykes Pinnacle and my husband has the Hykes Escapes, best shoes I have owned, my feet are so much stronger after only a few months, we both also love them for walking.
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts. I haven’t really tried lots of barefoot or minimalist shoes. I’m going to need to get in shape and test out a pair.
I am a resident here in Clearwater Fl, I enjoyed the video I lived here for 15yrs & I've only walked passed the sand pearl 🤷♀️
Huge thanks for checking out the video and sharing this comment m. The Sandpearl is a nice place. I think it’d be worth it to stop by for a nice dinner at Carretta’s. A little pricey but worth checking out.
