Hey dude! These are the best shoes around!

This past Fathers Day my oldest daughter Nicole gave me a pair of new casual shoes that I thought were kind of fun so I planned on saving them to take on the cruise that my wife and I were taking in late June to celebrate our 27th anniversary.  I put them away and never even tried them on.

Now, keep in mind, my job as a morning show host allows me to dress casually everyday, not just Friday. This means I usually wear sneakers or some kind of slip on, nothing fancy, but these new shoes looked even too casual to wear to work.

These are the ultimate casual shoes

Well, let me tell you, after finally putting them on for one of our excursions in Bermuda for a day of walking around Hamilton, I decided that these are now my favorite shoes! I can't describe how comfy they are, easy on and easy off and a cushiony soul that are the most comfortable shoes I ever had!

Now I'm hooked on them and wear them everywhere and anywhere, even work....and so today LBF took a look at them and said, "my dad would like those!"

Your dad? How about your husband Dave? "Nope, I think that my dad would like them but not Dave"

Well, too bad for Dave, because he's missing out on these babies!

Meet "Hey Dude" shoes

Bob's new shoes

<em><strong>These are the shoes that I love and LBF not so much!</strong></em>

If you're not familiar with Hey Dude shoes, you will be soon, because they were purchased by Crocs  for One Billion dollars from an Italian shoe designer named Allesandro Rosano who started his company in 2008. Crocs CEO Andrew Rees says they will bring in over $750 this year!

I run into other guys who are wearing them and we have a quick comment to each other about how comfortable they are and they often say what I do, "my daughter bought them for me and I love them!"

So LBF, have Lucy have buy them for Dave!

Bob is a native New Englander, growing up (sorta) in Maine where his love for radio started at a young age. While in high school he hosted radio shows on a local radio station, and he has never looked back. Bob joined the US Navy and served onboard the Sixth Fleet Flagship as a radio and TV host. After serving for 3 years, it was off to Emerson College in Boston. Bob hosted shows in Boston on WMEX, WVBF and WSSH in the 80’s and 90’s before heading to radio stations in Raleigh, NC, Manchester, NH, and New York City. Bob has been married for almost 25 years to Carolyn, a Woburn gal and they have 3 daughters, Nicole, Taylor, and Bridget. Bob and Carolyn are proud first-time grandparents to baby Caroline, who they plan to spoil every chance they get! “I started my career in New England and could not be happier to come back to Boston where I can root for all the Boston sports teams and eat lots of lobster rolls and clam chowder (okay not lots)… It is an honor to host the WROR morning show with LBF and wake up the World’s Greatest City!” Bob writes about recipes and restaurants, pop culture and trending topics.
