all right in this video I have a new
pair of slides from Crocs this is known
as a mellow slide and of course I needed
to check it out see how comfortable this
thing was I've done a bunch of different
slide video comparisons on my channel in
the last year and I might do an updated
one with a couple new additions to it
including this guy right here but I
wanted to give you guys my thoughts on
the new Crocs mellow slide and then
compared to the Adidas Yeezy slides and
let you guys know which one is more
comfortable and let's go ahead and get
into the video
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
what's going on guys hats here hope you
guys are having a good day out there
thanks for stopping by and watching if
you guys are new to my Channel please
hit that subscribe button and if you
guys would like to please hit that
notification Bell I'll let you guys know
when my videos are live if you guys do
want to buy a pair of the Crocs mellow
slides they are 50 bucks you can buy
them in Crocs website Linked In the
description of the video and they do
have a full Sizer and last I checked of
the black colorway they did have a cream
colorway that was really dope it's
actually the first one I ordered but I
got the wrong size I got the women's
size not the men's so obviously that was
not gonna work out and I had to wait for
the next round that's why I've kind of
been waiting on doing this video but any
which way we got the black pair here and
I gotta tell you guys so first initial
Impressions right out of the package
it's not a box it's just a package that
they come in like a plastic bag but
these uh these are actually pretty nice
I like the overall sculpted shape of the
upper it's kind of rounded in a sense
from the midsole and then up through the
heel it has a really nice Sleek look and
appeal to the shoe then you have little
side vents as well that adds a nice
little visual but overall they look
pretty nice pretty Sleek not like a
traditional pair of Crocs clogs or
anything which is something that I've
grown to love through the years as much
as I hated on them originally but you
put these on and I was like wait a
minute these are really soft on foot you
definitely feel like the marshmallow
effect your foot squishes down
especially the heel squish here is very
significant in the shoe it is a very
slow responsive foam though so it's not
one where you step and then bounce back
it's kind of like your foot melts into
the shoe and just like I don't know how
to describe it but it definitely doesn't
have like a rebound or anything like
that which is kind of fun for me to
notice because I've done lots of reviews
on lots of different foam Technologies
on sneakers primarily but usually
there's two main purposes for a foam and
cushioning inside of sneakers one
comfort and Squishy feel and basically
just overall cushioning but the second
major function is having that bounce
back so you could have one that you
could press down on and then it Springs
back really really quick some of them
don't do that and this is one of them
that does not but let's go ahead and get
in some words what Croc says about their
own product you just got home from a
long day at work sink into the couch and
relax with the Ah that's the feeling the
Mellow collection brings to the mind and
body kick back and relax in our most
comfortable slides yet with a simple yet
modern Design This mood boosting
silhouette creates the Bliss found in
pure comfort with an Innovative blend of
soft light ride foam that lets your feet
melt into the footbeds mellow out with
the squishy comfort of mellow collection
it says they recommend sizing down and
it has deep cupped footbed offering sink
and comfort with a slow rebound
contemporary upper and modern styling
with a sleek and simple aesthetic upper
window for increased breathability and
light ride revolutionary sink and
softness Innovative comfort so people on
crocsite leaving reviews are actually
only giving these a 4 out of 5 star
rating and I found that really odd so I
had to dig in and read a little bit more
and then I found out well it's really
mainly a sizing issue so if you read the
description it tells you to size down
which is what I did I got a size 9 men's
instead of a size 10 men's there is no
half sizes now normally I'm a 9.5 and
with slides I usually fit a little bit
snug depending so I usually go up a half
a size that's what I did with the easy
slides I went with a size 10 instead of
a nine and in this case I went with a 9
instead of a 10 and I think I made the
right move it fits me just fine a lot of
people said that they felt just
massively big on feet and it was not the
right size so I think that it was a good
thing that I got a size nine instead of
a size 10 primarily the main reason why
a lot of people are saying that they
didn't like the shoes the Comfort was
there though and that's something that
I'm happy to report like these things
are definitely soft squishy comfortable
and like they said you just kind of melt
into the shoe because of that soft
feeling now the big question is how do
they stack up next to the Yeezy slides
and this is an interesting one because
they honestly don't feel as soft and
Squishy as the easy slides the Yeezy
slides have an overall similar shape as
the Mellow slides the main differences
that I can point out is the toe section
area right here is actually bigger on
the Mellow slides there's a smaller
exposed section down here on the easy
slides and then also the metal slides
have the vents on each side and the
biggest difference is the wave-like
shark-like bottoms of the Yeezy slides
there's also a little bit of a midsole
design in the back of the Yeezy slides
and none on the Crocs but the big
difference between these two that really
make the easy slides a little bit more
comfortable in my opinion is the fact
that the foam stack is actually just
higher than what it is in the Mellow
slide so if you look at the footbeds of
each of these shoes the easy slides are
just much higher there's more curvature
and an arc in the Mellow slides which
means there's less actual amount of foam
in the heel even though it looks fairly
similar side by side that dig out of
that foam actually makes a big
difference and that's part of the reason
why I think that the easy slides do feel
a little bit more comfortable on feet
which is a softer so I do have a
durometer and I did a foam density test
this one's in about 27 and the Yeezys
are sent about 28.29 so the Yeezy slides
are a little bit more firm than the
Crocs light in the Mellow slides but not
by much and I don't have my adolette
slides out here for my Baseline test but
those ones are actually softer than
these so the adding lit slides I think
are the softest ones on the market the
foam in the midsole of the outlet slides
are just amazing for like a 20 slide you
can't really beat the softness that they
have and these have a very similar feel
to that but obviously with a little bit
different stylings so my overall
thoughts on the Mellow slides from Crocs
first of all for those people who are
like yeah yeah the Crocs are copying the
easy slides you got to realize that
Crocs has been on the market for many
many years before Yeezy with with
respect to the all foam like pairs of
sneakers like Crocs clogs have been
around for a long long time so when the
foam Runners originally came out and
people saw those people were like those
are easy Crocs right like that was the
thing so I don't really think it's fair
to say that Crocs is Binding off of the
Yeezy slide because Crocs were like the
original innovators of the slides and I
have had a pair of Croc slides in the
past as well I do have them somewhere in
storage but this is a very revised
version of that the original Croc slides
were all foam as well just the same as
this it's just this is a better
sculpture uh in my opinion than the
original one so just wanted to debunk
that a little bit Crocs has really been
the originator for the most part and it
really is hard to track down origins of
everything in this day and age like
there's so many different people that
have created things who knows what's
actually first but what I can say is I
do like the design of the shoe I do like
the side Vance it adds a little bit of
extra Flair to the shoe they do have the
little Crocs massage dots on the bottom
of the shoe it's kind of like one of
their things that they're known for as
well not bad nice to see those as well
and then the overall comfort of the shoe
is really good like it's very soft and
Squishy on feet one of the softer Foams
on the market kid and you definitely
feel that sink in the only main issue
that some people might have is with the
sizing the shoe it just might be too big
or too small depending on the size that
you get and so I can see that being a
bummer for some people for sure the
overall traction pattern isn't too bad
on the shoe either and this is one of
those slides that you could wear inside
of the house or outside of the house
whatever you really want to do with it
but it's not a bad option for 50 bucks
to be honest it's one that you can wear
it doesn't have anything fancy across
the strap like leather or any other
materials so you can obviously wear this
in the water and around the beach and
you're going to be just fine as well not
a bad experience on Feed and I would say
a great alternative to the easy slides
if you can't get your hands on a pair of
these at 70 to 90 to 100 or whatever the
prices are and the colors you have a
couple options out there on the Croc
side for these guys so that's my
thoughts leave a comment in the comment
section what do you guys think about the
Crocs mellow slides and again if you
guys would like to buy your own pair
check the link in the description take
you over to Crocs website and you can go
ahead and purchase your own but thanks
for watching hope you found this video
with some informative and if you did
drop a like in the video subscribe and
hit that notification Bell it will let
you know of when my videos go live every
