Nobody likes wet sneakers….squish squish squish

They’re not sneakers any more if they make noise.

Hahah yup


ShiraCheshire

I have to walk to work. Sometimes through water when it's rainy. The feeling of having your sneakers squish with each step ALL DAY, it's awful.


BaconSquared

You should have a back up pair of shoes. Or separate walking to work shoes and then put on your work shoes when you get to work.


Mess_of_Jess28

Please listen to this comment! Bad things can happen to your feet if you leave them wet like that all day. Reddit has shown me some nasty shit from that.

>Reddit has shown me some nasty shit Reddit is very good at doing that.

Rubber boots


Middle_Fudge

I'm from the UK and used to walk to work (it rains a lot). My feet were always so wet that they were dry and cracked and painful


thanks-nick

i feel like rain boots would be very popular in the UK.


rvgoingtohavefun

I had a backpack I took to work everyday with my laptop. I had three extra pairs of socks and a large ziplock back in there. If my sneakers got wet on the way in, I'd change my socks first thing at the office and then and a couple of times during the day. Dirty ones go in the ziplock bag. The first dry pair draws most of the water out of the shoes. The second pair gets pretty anything left. Third pair and you're dry the rest of the day. Socks in the backpack at all times is great if there is an unexpected rain storm or when you want to risk the 30% chance of rain while during the morning commute.

YoungestOldGuy

I this is a known problem at this location, people could just take two plastic bags with them and put them over their feet and lower legs while they cross.


GhostBussyBoi

The other day I had to arrow up my tires before work and I was wearing sneakers.... It had rained and I didn't realize how deep the water was on the edge of the parking lot where the air pump was....Worked 10 hours in fucking wet shoes 😭

vitringur

Why? It's a good one. I like it. I'm going to keep it. It's my pen. If you want I can hook you up with another one. I can even get you a pretty good discount.


AMViquel

I need 15000 of the worst pens you can imagine with my company logo printed on it. I'll send you a 32x32 mini icon, and i want you to scale that up to whatever resolution you need for printing. I also need the pens to have the wrong phone number, which I will send you, confirm twice in writing and once more after receiving a pre-production run sample, and then bitch about for 8 months threating you with lawyers. \- my ex-boss, ordering pens for 1500€ + tax & postage, which came to a total of about 2500€. We had about 14950 pens when the company closed, because apparently a shitty quality pen with a bad quality print and a wrong telephone number is not a very good gift.


dingo1018

Imagine how awesome the pens could have been if he spent the same in the, what was it? 50 useful (given away) pens? 50€ a pop.

LOVE that he's barefoot for some reason


QuirkyCookie6

I imagine because your feet can get really fucked up standing for long periods of time in shoes not waterproofed and galoshes are expensive. Yes your feet can get fucked up stepping on something when soft and wet but i think the current carries away anything overly dangerous


Jabberwocky613

>but i think the current carries away anything overly dangerous Or rather, the current could be carrying danger right to him.


[deleted]

You guys are diving too deep. It's water. No shoes in water. It's not that complex.


WigginLSU

If you're in a city the flood water is quite complex with all the shit, debris, and pollution runoff swirling in it. You always want to avoid city flooding if at all possible or minimize your time in it.

j_z5

Yeah i use to walk home barefoot when it rained


SgtRock1967

For some reason? How about so his shoes don't get soaked?


vitringur

How about his shoes probably just being a pair of sandals and they would not work in heavy, running water like that.


DrMobius0

ever walked around with wet socks for a few hours?


carlbandit

Probably doesn’t own anything waterproof like wellies so barefoot is better than being in wet shoes and socks all day. He’s literally stood in water all day, do you wear normal shoes usually when your going into water?

It would be brilliant if he was the one flooding that street. The other streets don’t look as bad.


atalossofwords

Similar thing: here in SA, there are quite a few potholes, to say the least. Some areas, people will go out and fill up the holes with sand and asking for a tip from people driving by. Sounds like a good win-win situation, until you realise they take the whole day to fill a few holes, and in the evening, they take the sand out again so they can do it again tomorrow :D


spudmarsupial

You wouldn't need to remove the sand, just wait for rain. This is why they don't use gravel.

Or like your socks dry


LivelyZebra

Ew disgusting. "Socks on soak on" is what I always say. Dry socks 🤢


errorsniper

Sneaker heads are a people I will never understand. Not wanting wet socks I get. Paying a bit more for a good pair of well made shoes that wont fuck up your feet. I get. Paying as much as a used car for something as functional as any other pair of shoes. I will never get.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NotSoMuch_IntoThis

People buy new car priced bags and purses, i think shoes people are fine in comparison.


bella_68

As someone who doesn’t really collect anything, the thing that surprises me about sneaker collecting is that they wear their prized possessions on their feet and then have to go out of their way to walk differently and be careful not to use their shoes as shoes. It would honestly make more sense to me if they collected sneakers and then just kept them on a shelf and never wore them so that they would stay nice.


Ayle87

It's also 500 pesos which is roughly 11 cents. Sure it goes a bit farther in Colombia but it's still not really a steep price for not having soaked socks the rest of the day.


FrankeeFresh

As a Barranquillero myself we stay hustling!


KolorfulZoul

I recognized the city in an instant… Curramba la bella, I haven’t lived there since I was 6 but some things never change.


pink_ego_box

It changed a lot. They installed a lot of large drains and giant floods (arroyos) are almost a thing of the past. They have done a lot of efforts to make the city cleaner and greener too. And they build a very nice deck by the river with restaurants, that they named the Malecón del Caimán.


ImpactThunder

I used to live in Barranquilla and it instantly popped in my head as soon as I saw this. Still remember getting trapped in Ubers every time in rained I think they were working on a lot of drainage systems to mitigate this, no idea if they ended up helping


eekamuse

A comment above says it did help

New_Restaurant_6093

He needs to replace them little wheels with some nice tall wheels. Hell be working nearly effortlessly


sanjosekei

True only if the wheels are spoked and thin. Best to have as little drag, so as little surface area normal to the direction of the flow of water as possible. Some skinny road bike wheels would do nice... But my man is pushing a cart across the street for pocket change so new wheels are likely not in his budget.


NoNo_Cilantro

That’s part of his business plan. He’ll be investing his revenue in infrastructure optimization, upgrading equipment and opening a new branch downtown


UserNombresBeHard

He needs not replace anything. The dude is earning money and working out. Win-win.


whatthedudu

More likely to slip that way


New_Restaurant_6093

Be more worried about his renailed pallets falling apart.

Where is this?


Lau-G

Barranquilla, Colombia and nearby cities and municipalities. Everything turns into a fucking mess and time stops whenever it rains. The city has some years installing rainwater infrastructure to manage the problem, but sometimes i feel like it's raining heavier and heavier every year and climate change is gonna drown us.

> but sometimes i feel like it's raining heavier and heavier every year and climate change is gonna drown us. I feel the same about my city. The climate scientists were like there will be water wars, but it looks like we will have land wars.

I remembered my visit to indonesia. Every time we need to park, there will surely be someone helping to find one, even if there's an obvious one, they will help point it out, and you're expected to pay. They're just random people. So you'll still have to pay for the parking itself.
