Welcome to my world of bubble slides !

Alright, in this post, I have a new pair of slides from Crocs. This is known as a Mellow bubble slide, and of course, I needed to check it out to see how comfortable this thing was. I've done a bunch of different slide post comparisons on my blog in the last year, and I might do an updated one with a couple of new additions to it, including this guy right here. But I wanted to give you guys my thoughts on the new Crocs Mellow bubble slide and then compare it to the Adidas Yeezy slides and let you guys know which one is more comfortable. Let's go ahead and get into the video. What's going on, guys? Hats here. Hope you guys are having a good day out there. If you guys do want to buy a pair of the Crocs Mellow bubble slides, they are 50 bucks. You can buy them on the Crocs website, linked in the description of the video, and they do have a full size range. The last I checked, 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 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 add a nice little visual. But overall, bubble slides 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 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 are 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 into some words about what Crocs 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 bubble 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 LiteRide foam that lets your feet melt into the footbeds. Mellow out with the squishy comfort of the Mellow collection. It says they recommend sizing down and it has a deep cupped footbed offering sink-in comfort with a slow rebound contemporary upper and modern styling with a sleek and simple aesthetic. Upper window for increased breathability and LiteRide revolutionary sink and softness. Innovative comfort. So, people on Crocs' site 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 are no half sizes. Now, normally, I'm a 9.5, and with bubble 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 Yeezy bubble slides; I went with a size 10 instead of a 9. 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 9 instead of a size 10. Primarily, the main reason why a lot of people are saying that they didn't like the bubble shoes is the comfort. But 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?
