142 - Work Boots Optional: Slides, Crocs, and Real Life

In this episode, Shelby and Rita talk about their shared appreciation for slide-in shoes—and why they’re not just for lazy people anymore. From the simple joy of slipping them on and off while running in and out of the house, to the surprising practicality that’s won them over, this conversation celebrates comfort without apology.

They also revisit the long, strange journey of Crocs. Shelby admits he never stopped wearing them, even when they fell out of style—and now that they’ve made a comeback, there’s a small (and justified) sense of validation. Along the way, they touch briefly on work boots, comfort versus function, and how personal style sometimes circles back when you least expect it.

It’s a relaxed, funny chat about footwear, habits, and embracing the things that make everyday life a little easier.
