My son is wearing slip-ons from Sketchers. Don't ask, he can tie his own shoes, just likes the slip-ons better.

Wears a men's 10.5 and he's 12...yes, he can look me in the eye already.

Hokas makes a good slip-in … shoe I wear almost all of the time because of lower back arthritis and bad knees. Just look up Hoka Restore TC … list is $110. Best slip-in you will find. I used to go the Sketchers route and they are good, but nothing like the Hokas.

I have about a half-dozen different brands of slip-in shoes, and about a dozen pair. the ones I wear the most are the canvas crocks santa cruz (cheap from Amazon) . the ones I wear the least are the margarittaville boat shoes

none of them offer the support I need
None of them last longer than a year, maybe two (None built for wide feet)
all of them stink like feet after a while and get destroyed (face it, we sweat in florida), and walking thru the machine shop eats the soles
only the crocks survive a bleach water bath
all of them get cycled from going out in public to going to work to working in the garage to doing yardwork to the trash.

really hate the sperry's (over-priced and built for chinese people with narrow feet) I have EEE feet (tripple wide), sketchers offer a bit less support than the crocks, none of them fit my wide feet right

I am getting to be an old guy but not to the point where I am going to comb my gray hair straight back, wear a big gold necklace and drive an escalade. The idea of wearing shorts with dress shoes barefoot nope.

Do you know how the Restore TCs compare in sizing to Hoka's other models? I wear Hoka Bondis all the time and recently I had to switch to a wide model because they changed their sizing and the regular sized models became too tight.

I have bad knees and have worn Hokas for years, before Deckers bought the brand in 2013. (I actually think the brand was much better before they were bought out.)

I do not because I did not wear any Hokas until I did the Restore TC. I get the same size as with any other most other shoes with them and they fit my feet. It was a Physical Therapist friend that hooked me up with Hoka to begin with. Glad she did.
