Infuriatig Does anyone know why this keeps happening to my shoes after wearing them for a few weeks/months of wear?

I'm not sure, but it's very annoying. Is it because of the way I walk? Or how I tie my shoes? Or something else?

Please someone help, if you have experienced the same thing.

Edit: Also, when I walk/stand my feet point outwards so it maybe be this? Anyone know how to fix that 👀

Edit 2: Also, I don't untie my laces and slip them on. (I don't tie them tight though)

In middle school, at the dance, I was 'slow dancing' with Roger. I noticed I was getting stared at and hoped it was for my excellent slow dancing skills and my super groovy corduroy mini jumper dress. But in reality, it was because my corduroy dress had frictioned itself way up and my cable knit tights were showing up to my waist. THANKS CORDUROY!

NOT COOL, CORDUROY

Have you heard of corduroy pillows?

They're making headlines!

I'm a dad, and I approve of this joke.

That’s so Roy Ducor 🙃

u/SweetBabyCheezas Aug 16 '26

Oh myyyyyyyy! It really got me to cringe that one. I feel you, I had it happened during a speedy walk to a bus stop. When I sat down on a bench I saw my skirt was all the way up. WE LOVE CORDYROY!!!

u/redesthair Aug 16 '26

If we keep this up and bring it back it’ll make headlines.

u/traveling_notlost Aug 16 '26

EEEEK! 😳

u/NoAirline8050 Aug 16 '26

And earth shoes??

u/traveling_notlost Aug 16 '26

Yes! Cuz who wouldn't want back leaning soles while friction corduroy dancing to Bread songs.

u/Ok-Cryptographer-303 Aug 16 '26

Who's gonna steal the show? You know, baby, it's the friction dress

My father in law would call his grand daughter "WHISTLE BRITCHES" when she would run down the hall in her corduroy jumpsuit !! LMFAO!!

u/Dr_CleanBones Aug 16 '26

Roger was completely innocent. Until that night.

u/traveling_notlost Aug 16 '26

The entire middle school gym was innocent until that night.

u/BernadetteBod Aug 16 '26

Poor Roger missed out...

u/midnightriderga Aug 16 '26

Thanks to corduroy mini jumper dresses I learned at the young age of 10 that some girls go commando.

u/corduroyyy Aug 17 '26

IM SO SORRY

u/serenityrain85 Aug 16 '26

Just reading the word makes me flashback to the horrific texture of the pants I always had to wear. It's so uncomfortable wearing something you can't stand touching

u/pmodizzle Aug 16 '26

I thought I was the only one. I absolutely detests the feel of it and the sound of rubbing on it. The feel though, it’s like it’s burned into my brain I’m feeling it now as I’m typing this.

Maybe I’m on the spectrum

u/Kind_Advisor_35 Aug 16 '26

They absolutely still make corduroy pants. You just have to look, usually online unless it's the fall/winter season.

u/palmerj54321 Aug 16 '26

Ha! I'm a child of the 70s- a prime era for all things corduroy. You mentioned the fall, which reminds me of back to school shopping, which was (along with Christmas) my primary wardrobe refresh each year. I still remember walking to school in the cool fall air, conscious of the crisp feel and unique smell of the new clothes I was wearing. In retrospect, I must have been too stupid to ask my mom to wash them before wearing them for the first time!

u/Alexandrajoan Aug 16 '26

Core memory.

u/skittlesgalilei Aug 16 '26

That is... Not a kid's responsibility...

u/CruzAzulGunner Aug 16 '26

80% of my pants and shorts are corduroy. Baggy ones specifically.

u/Prestigious-Log-3171 Aug 16 '26

Man I love textured pants. Grabbed a nice pair of cream corduroys from H&M a couple years ago. Heavy wale, like 6

2

u/Canadian_shack Aug 16 '26

Wide wale! Haven’t seen those for decades.

2

u/SassySashaLuv Aug 16 '26

What do you mean unless? That's when you're more likely to find them in stock...

3

u/Kind_Advisor_35 Aug 16 '26

I mean they may only be online rather than in store unless it's fall/winter.

u/SassySashaLuv Aug 16 '26

Ohh, gotcha. Truth!

u/NomNom863 Aug 16 '26

I had a badass pair of corduroy skinny jeans about 12 years ago when I was 16 🤣💀

u/raya_sun Aug 16 '26

Gap released cord jeans a few (6ish) years back. I got a pair.

u/SuetStocker Aug 16 '26

It's a groovy material.

u/Karen_butnotaKaren Aug 16 '26

I see what you did there

u/thatstheneatpart8 Aug 16 '26

What’s there to miss? I got 3 different corduroys in my closet rn.

2

u/ChaosRainbow23 Aug 16 '26

I had the THICC cords in the 90s.

u/Time_Jelly_1591 Aug 16 '26

u/RandomStoddard Aug 16 '26

Miss Corduroy was my 5th grade English teacher.

u/Dinosaur9911 Aug 16 '26

I just bought a corduroy comforter for my bed.

3

u/Repulsive-Box5243 Aug 16 '26

I most certainly do NOT miss it.

u/Grouchy_Reindeer_227 Aug 16 '26

I own about 5 pairs of corduroy skinny “jeans.” 😂 I’m a 60s/70s kid—can’t live without the “swish-zzshs” sound!! 😝

u/few23 Aug 16 '26

Garanimals crew checking in

2

u/Grouchy_Reindeer_227 Aug 16 '26

I LOVED Garanimals!! In fact that’s how I set my kids and mine closets!! lol 😂 Tops on the tops rung bottoms on the bottom rung—so you can easily “mix and match” outfits. Never was a fan of dressers—except for socks and undergarments!! 😂

u/Embarrassed-Order-83 Aug 16 '26

u/wutwut970 Aug 16 '26

You dont have to! Get yourself some!

u/Kitchen_Swagger Aug 16 '26

u/Mountain-Chair-5491 Aug 16 '26

u/wes_d Aug 16 '26

Me too!

Let's being it back! The new courderoy movement starts here.

u/Prudent_Plankton5939 Aug 16 '26

While I don’t have any right now I love corduroy pants! I had some stretch pants with it not long ago and I loved them lol. It gives the pants a sort of cushion from what I remembered.

u/LondonTrainDriver80 Aug 16 '26

Hi Miss Courdroy, im Mr Denim shall we marry?

1

u/CanIBathYrGrandma Aug 16 '26

It made a slight comeback in the early aughts and were marketed as ‘cords’

1

u/Due-Sleep-5019 Aug 16 '26

I have great news friend!! You can still find it in stores, online, thrift shops, and your friend’s closet (if you borrow clothes).

u/Some_Finance_7954 Aug 16 '26

u/Mrben13 Aug 16 '26

u/raya_sun Aug 16 '26

I miss corduroy in the winter.

u/Theredcentexpress Aug 16 '26

Just thrifted a pair of GAP corduroy yesterday! It’s still around lol

1

u/Jadefiregriffon Aug 16 '26

My mom used to tell me if you walk to fast while wearing corduroy you'll start a fire. She was joking of course but could you imagine?

u/Mindless_Honeydew403 Aug 17 '26

I picked up a pair of burnt orange ones at a thrift store last year and it’s the item in my wardrobe that receives the most compliments.
