Ok, this is a stupid question but...

Would someone look stupid at the gym in like, vans slip ons as opposed to regular athletic sneakers?

Yes

They're not the best for your feet. I used them when I was just doing weights, they would be OK to use on the rowing machine, exercise bike and cross trainer - but not running, walking or classes.

They would be horrible for running. There is like no traction on them at all.

u wouldn't look ridiculous, but they would probably hurt really bad or just not work at all. Not to mention with as much filling and thickness those kinds of shoes have the insides of the shoe would just asoak up the sweat and keep it there.. as opposed to with athletic shoes the shoes "breath" cuz they have better kinds of fabric for getting rid of the moisture within the shoe. it wouldn't look bad...but it's a bad idea for both comfort and the shoe itself.

I would get a shoe with a better arch and support. And they'd probably look a little weird, but whatever.

if you were wearing shorts yes

Yes. Very.

Uhm Yes.

well it would be a stupid idea
but you wouldnt look stupid
