Can someone explain to me why so many people like these shoes?

Is it the look? Are they comfortable? Is it just a typical summer fad?

I had to Google that.

Over here I think they're known as "boat shoes" - I'm not too fashion savvy haha.

They are mostly worn (with no socks) by people in turned up jeans or by chino w**kers. And they've been in fashion for a fair while. I think they're quite gross

From the looks of them they should be cheap and comfortable.

The are huge in Britain too, the land of rain, I think they would disintegrate if you stepped in a puddle.

They look like something extras in martial arts movies wear.

A quick look on their website tells me they sell for $44 a pair.

That's not cheap to me

Also, in my experience, cheap shoes and not comfortable. I could see these being comfortable in that they are not restrictive, but they also look very flat.

They look comfy and light on the feet. I hate heavy shoes. I'd wear them. I wouldn't pay $44 for them, maybe $10. I can beat the crap out of a good pair of shoes just as easily as a pair of cheap ones.

Very popular with the gay crowd, at least in the UK. So single guys that wear there and are straight may not get a date.

I don't find them repulsive, but I also don't see the appeal. If someone gave them to me I'd wear them, and I may even pay $10 or $15 for them, but I don't get why they're so popular.

Yeah I work with somebody who wears them with no socks and short jeans- a terrible look, especially for a straight man! They are quite repulsive to me

I believe they are called "Deck shoes" because they are made of canvas, can get wet and dry out fast. No socks please!

They remind me a bit of espadrills. Not something I would wear but it's hardly the worst thing I've ever seen either.
