I need to see bite tests in all future videos

Color seems to affect these shoes more than in any other. I have two pairs of hydro Mocs and two Pollex, the responsiveness and squish vary dramatically across colors of the same shoes

I personally have the Merrell and it's been my daily for the last 1 year. Love the comfort and the functionality. It also makes sense for me since I live in Vietnam and the weather is either rain or really hot so having foam shoes is a must

The only thing you didn’t cover was the shrinkage test. Leave them out in the sun for a day and see how well they kept the same size and shape.

Yay, Toaster made an appearance! That cat is mad cute! Looks like you both approved the Crocs 😻

I love all the content you produce! Love watching you take a part shoes and also discovering new boots through your channel ♥️♥️

Merrell looked the best to me. Thickest foam, harder on the outside, and softest on the inside. Seems like the best of all worlds to me.

If this video doesn't crack 70k views at the very least, I'd say the algorithm is sabotaging your videos. Really love your work Wes and Rose Anvil Team, you all make awesome stuff.

I use a black pair of the Merrells as my daily drivers working as a server, I love em. They're running down a bit but theyre super comfortable and light. I do recommend.

For the melt test I think you should add weight to at least the heel bc pressure increases heat transfer by quite a bit

I really like my Crocs. The week before July 4 we spent the week at the lake. All I wore was my Crocs. Around the cabin, on and off the boat, in the lake. Performed great and are still very comfortable and useful as a pair of run ins by the door.

This video 100% made the decision for me I was really considering the merrell ones just off looks but I the support on the crocs looks insane

Love the content u created as a shoe lover. I never think shoes can be present like this. Thank you!

Crocs is the go too, mine last generally 5 years but they're all foam. I've still got my black crocs which are now 5 years old and still going strong actually. The only reason they go in 5 years is the wear though where they've now put the rubber so I'm really excited to buy another set In the coming years.

I'm a swimming teacher in Australia and need water shoes every day. One test for you is the speed of tread wear down in pool environments. Pool decks are universally rough concrete to prevent slips and falls and that stuff wears down the foam shoe tread pretty easily. For me, on pool deck and wet 5 days a week (~30hrs/wk), I wear through Crocs in a year so I need new ones every year... that was fine until a few months ago when crocs Australia upped the price to $100-120 for new season styles! I'm pretty dark at them now so I've gone with the Merrill. The soles have felt great for several months, like most Merrill soles. Sadly, the tread is wearing down to nothing just like the Crocs do. I don't think they'll last more than a year either.

Clomps classify for the mitusa series too right? Would love to see the bite test on those bad boys.

Been a fan of Crocs for more than 10 years now. Their canvas shoes and classic clogs helped me get rid of my tendinitis. Nowadays I’m a big fan of Peak Taichi, from their running sneakers to slides to clogs. Super comfortable at a fraction of an Ultraboost’s cost.

Like others have said, these tests don't really tell much of a story as far as real-life performance goes. Because as someone who has also owned and worn all 3, the Hydromocs are by far the most comfortable and longest-wearing of the 3

I got hydromocs for a cruise and really enjoyed wearing them for everything

Love the content from you on this channel and Rose Anvil 2 as well! Can you do a video on the Danner Quarry boot and how that stacks up to some of the other tough work boots in that ~300 price range. Maybe a comparison of that vs. Whites/Nicks/Chippewa, etc? That would be awesome! Thanks for all the videos you do!

Love it. I have foam runners and the salehe crocs. I was curious of how the merrels were bcuz it was so hard to grab a pair of the other two earlier in the year. I’d agree as well with wearing the salehe esp with that adjustable strap on the back

You should do a comparison of the big companies flagship marathon shoes. There is so much technology and innovation in them. It would be fascinating to see the differences

This video makes me want to average out the price of all three shoes and just donate it to the channel. This is a lot of precise research for a slide. I can dig it. Respect

Best channel on KZfaq here... Should be on network television, or mayb3 have a segment on good morning America

Looks like the Merrell’s had the location where, and what it was made of right in the video bottom of the shoe @4:58 the “sticker”. So, that adds a point. Also, when you did the puncture test you placed the “nail” in a valley and not on the peek of the traction, so that might have knocked down the test a bit. Which all might of had it tied for second place. 🤷‍♂️

I use crocs while im repairing my bikes. Very good toe protection and comfort.

I've got two dogs. Gotta say my croc slides have lasted longer than any other shoe/slipper. So crocs are also basset hound approved!

possible flaw in the bar drop test; the bar was dropped onto the rubber portion of the croc, as opposed to the previous ball drop test which was done on the foam. This may be why it out preformed the yeezy in the second go.

I'd like to see abrasion tests for these. If you're wading in rivers they'll mostly contend with scraping rocks

Would love to see you testing the Nike Lunarforce Duckboots and see how good/bad those boots perform

I have Foam runners and a few pairs of crocs and I end up not even wearing my foam runners because they dig up against my ankles after a few hours and I have to take them off. The crocs (every one I own) have almost molded to my feet and are great for every day use and they hold up really well. All of my crocs are 1+ years old at least and they still look like new. Highly recommend if anyone’s on the fence.

Yuuuuus! Greatly appreciated on this vid 🔥

need to see a comparison on vans vault old skools and regular ones. vaults last so much longer for just a little bit more of a price and i’m curious to see the difference. great video like always!

Been waiting so long for you to cut foam runners in half!!!

I would love to have seen you add Vans Rubber Boat Water shoes to this list, because those're the ones I was thinking of buying. They retail for less, and are 100x cooler looking to me.

I bought FoamRunners after seeing this video. Got the Onyx(wish it was actually black) and the Vermilion will arrive in a few days. They do feel great even though the look is organically chunky

Would love to see you test the Autry Medalists. They are a retro 80s basketball sneakers, but they seem higher quality than the average offering from Nike, Adidas or New Balance

Very entertaining video review...I wear the Merrell foams all during the summertime around my home...they are very comfortable but the holes on the midsole and the generous cut-out by the heels invite small rocks mulch and other small debris to get under your heels and eventually end up in the toe box...if you wear them all summer you get a weird pattern of brown tan spots on your insteps...that said if you wear a thin no show or ankle or even crew sock you don't have any complaints...the strap can work as a sizer that gives you a half size adjustment depending on if you have the strap on your ankle or on the edge near the instep

Merrell Hydro Mocs have two kinds of clogs: classic and bloom. These blue ones are bloom they are much tougher than the classic ones.

Great stuff as always, amazing how we can see these differences even in such similar simple footwear. If I can make a suggestion... A couple simple improvements to the bar drop test that should offer better data... - attach a flat plate to the bottom of the bar so that it spreads the load out, like the footwear is contacting flat ground rather than the smaller area of that square bar - try to make the insert part of the stand that the footwear is sitting on as reasonably generic foot shaped as possible(try to contour some heavier sheet metal maybe or carve out a block of wood? Doesn't necessarily have to be an entire foot lol, just the bottom), to distribute the load across the footwear in a kinda similar general fashion to how your foot inside a shoe causes the load to be distributed in ways that a smaller contact patch won't replicate Both cases, just trying to minimize centralizing the load so that it's more similar to how shoes really work when you wear them. The ball drop test still gives us an idea of how some of these specific materials/constructions act, while the modified bar drop should tell us more about the performance of the overall design. Also, all 3 of these are positively ugly AF! GOOD LAWD with this 'foam foot wrap' footwear styling, it's all just so terrible lol.

I have all 3. Foam Runner are my go to. Crocs are second and Merrell are 3rd. All comfortable.

Yeezy wins without a doubt on comfortability, looks and longevity. I am a foam shoe connoisseur and have owned multiple of all of these as well as many other off shoots.

my day is better when u upload snkr videos

About 5 years ago I found a pair of black plastic/foam/rubber basic model Birkenstocks for $30 at Nordstrom. They started out as my house shoes, and after a month I started wearing them on the street as my errand shoes. They're easy to clean, don't smell, look like black leather Birkenstocks, I wear them every day for hours, there's barely any tread wear, and they still look like they did the day I bought them. I'm still surprised how much mileage I'm getting out of these things, and they show no signs of slowing down. Definitely check em out if you can, I don't even know if they still produce them.

I have all of these so thank you for doing this!

Toaster's opinion is the only thing that matters here 👏🏻

Got a pair of each except the Foam Runners. But if theyre anything like the Yeezy Slides, FRs will be my number 1... Hydro Mocs are my favorite in comfort vs the Pollex Crocs. But the Crocs look cooler, AND can be slipped on w/ no hands if you don't wear em in Sport Mode.

Yes the bite test seemed to be the most accurate. Very interesting

First I’d like to thank you @RoseAnvil for this comparison and all you do on this channel. I really appreciate and enjoy watching your vids. I haven’t tried the Merrell but do have several pairs of foam rnnrs and couple pairs of the Salehe Crocs.. and I must admit, I do love the crocs and tend to lean more toward them over the foam rnnrs. Although they are both comfortable, but if I only had one choice.. I’d go with crocs. Plus there ARE more durable. Foam rnnrs start wearing down after so many wears.

so glad to see Toaster!!! Haven't seen him\her in quite a while!

got some idea for the channel: 1. ) your current rotations including sneakers 2.) after wearing for certain amount of time review. Thanks!

I wore crocs as safety shoes in my welding class for 2 years. Never once had a problem lol

I have the Merrell’s and love them.

I would never pay $90 for foam.

I ordered a pair of Bison Leather Forefronts from JK about a week ago. Thanks for the info about those not too long ago. Doubt u will read this, but I appreciate ur vids buddy. Take care

Merrell is coming out with an all-weather model with a rubber layered sole in December so I would really like to see a test on them. Merrell Atr 1trl

What about the "Mad Ugly" test? They all 3 win first place.

I saw those Merrel "crocs" on a FB ad and I thought that those were the ugliest "crocs" ever made. Thank you for setting me straight on that notion.

Great review! I'm going to buy some crocs now.

Bite test came out of no where and had me laughing for few minutes😂😂

Great video I think you should do the traditional croc next

OMG THIS NEW BITE TEST😲😍 YESSS HOT!! haha! another awesome video from you guys 👏🏾💕

The strap on my Merrell Hydro Mocs had cracks on them after a few months. The video said the blue Merrell had rubber straps but my pair, the Air colorway, had like a plastic strap that also yellowed after some time. I bought the Hydro Moc because I wanted to use a different clog, but I'd go with the Crocs next time.

the flame thrower test 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have all 3 and the merrels are the best for my lifestyle and daily wear. Have yet to wear my foam runners in almost 2 years, and the salehe crocs are way too cushiony for my liking

I was so against crocs when they first got popular like a decade ago but I'm converted. I use them as slippers around the house because with kids there's a high chance of stepping on that one lego you missed or some sharp toy or even a random wet spot in the carpet that could be anything so wearing them around the house became my go to and I feel naked without them. These are a bit much though.

Bite tests will bring this channel to over 1 mill subs.

if you could add fit analysis that would be great. are they true to size? are they better for narrow or wide feet? are they vertically spacious for high volume feet or more suited for flat feet? that would be helpful for those of us with unique feet. thanks!

I think there should be test where you put them in a car outside in hot weather, this happened to mine and they shrunk like two sizes, they were also under heavy bags that changed the shape because the heat made it easily moldable

Yeezy FOAM RNR are a funny one. Most are actually made in China with only a select few being made in USA. I would be interested in seeing you test China made ones because in my opinion, they are far softer than USA ones.

Props to the bite tester; hope Rose Anvil provides a good dental plan!

The Yeezy foam runners are extremely amazing on ice and snow traction. Obviously feet od snow wont work, but inches with ice they are better than sneakers and boots ridiculous traction on ice.

amazing tests

I bought the black hydro mocs 2 months ago in store brand new for 20$ or so, I know it was less than 30. I’m pretty sure they were on sale because summer was ending. Amazing shoes at 20$

How about a comparison of slippers like the classic LL Bean ones in every new englander's closet. Rubber sole traction for mail retrieval on ice; heat transfer test for comfort on icy basement floors; cleanable upper for coffee spills?

I request for the bite test to become part of the standard testing gauntlet.

I have one pair of the hydro mocs but for some reason I own 12 pairs of crocs in different colors. They’re more comfortable in my opinion. Im a shoe, purse and hat hoarder. I buy the crocs with the holes.

Got the Onyx Foams and the Hydromocs. Foams look better imo but the Hydromocs are comfier

Oven test put them in a low heat oven and see how much they shink! I had a pair of m10 crocs in my trunk and they now fit my GF W9!

Putting on Yeezys and then those salehe I'm choosing foam runners unrivaled comfort

Ok, so what I got out of this is: If I'm smelting iron go for the Merrells, but the cat likes the Crocs so that must be the best one.

Hi, Toaster! Nice to see you!

You should have done the second date test. Which one are you most likely to get a second date if you wear them on a first date lol

This is so fun to watch

The foam runners are so easy to bootleg and have the same exact quality for a fraction of the retail and especially resale prices. Like 20 bucks for a legit foam runner. The crocs salehe bembury as well. I really wanted the tan colored original colorway release (menemsha) bc I think it's most wearable however the resale price currently is almost 600 dollars bc of the rarity. Got it for 20 bucks from Chhhina. With crocs tags and everything. Side by side with my friends pair and they're exact replicas. I hate how overpriced some of these foam shoes are. Thought about the Merrells bc I like the sleekness but I really appreciate the traction and durability of the Pollex Crocs. Also the crocs foam has broken in and softened a bit with wear. Blessings!

Awesome seeing Toaster!!!

I’d love to see you test out some grenson boots

I bought a pair of foam runner because I wanted something. easy to slip on for when I travel at airports, I really enjoy them I’ve worn them all summer on different trips. I wore them to Atlanta, myrtle beach, Chicago, Cincinnati and Detroit. The shoes feel amazing the only thing in the front under my toes I’ve worn some of the grip but I also drag my feet sometimes.

Whoever wins, we all lose.

Didn't think I needed to watch an adult bite into a shoe but glad I did.

For the bar drop test, you dropped it on the rubber of the croc. The ball bearing test you did the foam, or arch.

i was not ready for the dog bite test hahahah

As somebody who owns both Crocs and hydromocs, I always go with hydromocs in a heartbeat. Just a way more comfortable shoe

Love the vest you’re wearing in the giveaway portion. Anyone able to ID what the vest is?

I love my Merrells! Super lightweight

Can you do a slide comparison test next? Yeezy Vs adilette Vs Croc slides maybe

u mad underrated actually

Merrel have that information on a sticker on the inside of the shoe..it might have fallen off your particular ones…but I have a pair for each of the family, they all had stickers on saying made in Vietnam

Hi Mom, I got a job! First day at work tomorrow. I am doing footwear product testing for a KZfaq channel. Not sure what I will be doing, but they offer great dental benefits.
