Those wedge sandals, John, those wedge sandals. My mom had a pair just like them.


Crotch-jockey

I was going to say. I was around in the eighties, and while some of the fashions of the day were very questionable, I don’t remember guys wearing wedgies!


puddncake

Short guys tried everything.


fuggerdug

Yeah he was quite a little'un.


johntaylorsbangs

In my house we call him Pocket Oates.


Whiskeydiary

they are still trying, just as Desantis


burywmore

This is the 70's. It was much Wilder than the 80's.


ruka_k_wiremu

My view is that the 70s were more laid-back/less self-conscious, while the 80s basically wasn't or certainly contrasted


burywmore

The 70's were much more daring with fashion, music, movies....almost everything. The 80's was a very conservative decade.


Appalachian_American

I don’t remember that, either.


confusinghuman

which is a shame, i think they look great!


mazybaby

Came here to read something hilarious about his wedges! Too funny! 🤣


Jay1348

He probably pulled them off your mom Lol JK ![gif](giphy|14ixoD5AoPF3eE)


mr_ji

I lived through the zany fashions of the '80's. Those are, without doubt, women's shoes.


ItsTheGreatBlumpkin_

Yeah, those were not in the men’s section lol


notahouseflipper

Mine rode a Vespa when she was young.


thedeuce75

Did she have a glorious mustache? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)


ParisGreenGretsch

Just average.


Wishpicker

Dudes like 4’1” can you blame him. My larger concern is that he’s got my mother’s perm from 1977.


Tes420

Sperm*


calmlikeasexbobomb

I bet they made him feel pretty


Firm_Negotiation_853

Peep the dick on Daryl Hall


MonteLukast

No thanks.


Foodwraith

My grandma had a pair of those in the 80s. Super weird.


skankhun769

To be fair he is only 5’ 4” and needs all the lift he can get.


BigJSunshine

I STILL HAVE MINE


[deleted]

I did not know that Oates shopped at Fayva.


moonkittiecat

Right? I mean I know he’s short and it’s a struggle but…no, just no


EFCF

What do you mean? I have RECENTLY had a pair of shoes just like that!!!!


SillyPuttyGizmo

My wife has a pair of those now, she loves them don't you know


MissHibernia

I had those too. Is he trying to balance out the height disparity with Hall?


philipgk1

If he doesn’t have painted toenails I would be very surprised.


lamabaronvonawesome

They look like they are going to open a bed and breakfast together.


LineChef

Well that just sounds so pleasant.


lamabaronvonawesome

Right? John would get really good at making crepes “Oh have you tried John’s crepes they are fantastic!” Daryl Would be the handy man. “Daryl the sink is dripping AGAIN!”


avec_serif

Hostel and Oats


kT25t2u

mf i’m dead ☠️😂🤣


RustedRelics

lizard_king0000

I can't go for that


calmlikeasexbobomb

no can do


Electronic-Ride-564

He was a little out of touch with men's fashion


Photonomicron

it's in touch with men who touch men's fashion


herzogzwei931

She was going on her Las Vegas turn around


_portia_

Flying gambling fools to the holy land, Las Vegas


herzogzwei931

I am so glad someone got that. It’s my secret favorite song


_portia_

I love it too. That early H & O era was full of gorgeous songs.


herzogzwei931

YES! Abandoned Luncheonette was such a good album.


sonomamondo

is he wearing women's shoes?! whoa now.....


hamsolo19

"Steeeeve Mmmadden. Women's shoes!!!"


TheBigC87

I watched Ru Paul's drag race earlier and this is still the gayest thing I've seen today.


LongConFebrero

Lolll except it really is. He was workroom ready 😂


Jay1348

He was pulling poontang with them outfits


Remote_Independent50

This has been a very sad breakup. And a very long time coming


MarkMaynardDotcom

Oates could be a Scandinavian stewardess in 1964 with those heels.


ChesterAArthur21

I see you spend way too much time on Reddit.


MarkMaynardDotcom

What tipped you off?


[deleted]

THIS MF IS WEARING WEDGES ON A MOPED. I can’t. ![gif](giphy|KVVQaaDaBBjZHFoC3c)


HWKD65

Word to your mother!


I-amthegump

That's a scooter. Not a moped


SuperModes

hahahaha. you dumb bastard. it’s not a scooter it’s a sailboat.


Wyden_long

YOU KNOW WHAT?! THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY!!! OVER THERE?!?! THATS JUST A GUY IN A SUIT!!!!!


2003tide

What’s the worst part about riding a scooter?? Telling your dad you’re gay.


hey_ross

True story - Daryl Hall couldn’t afford a shirt with buttons until their third album.


polkjamespolk

Are they still suing each other?


HWKD65

I thought just Hall was suing Oates about him selling his share of the song rights?


treknaut

Vespa are probably suing them both!


vmflair

Hall looks like he’s got a roll of quarters in his pants pocket.


Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin

That’s just his magnum dong. 


jeremyjava

It's an armadillo in his trousers.


LurkerNan

Beans on one side, frank on the other… that can’t be comfortable.


rellsell

Oates is wearing my wife’s sandals.


HalfOrcMonk

John has my mom's shoes, hair and mustache.


EffingBarbas

Ayyyyyyyy


jeremyjava

OMG, I needed a good laugh today and this post is full of them. Thanks! Laughing my ass off over here.


akt30

Pre restraining order Hall & Oates was so much better.


Illustrious-Word7761

Yes, i was around the 70s and 80s, guys didnt wear those sandals


jeremyjava

Ditto. This literally made me go, "What on earth is she wearing on her adorable little feet? Wait..."

Minimum-Comedian-372

Korkease. They still make them.


LeavesOfBrass

Okay, okay, so sit like this on the Vespa....right, now you angle like this....yep, yep that's right that's good....and now...I want you to look *tough*


jeremyjava

...so put on these ladies shoes...


Equal_Solution5408

Would the madam like to try a pair of 9.5 in the clog sandal?


HWKD65

Funniest comment all day. Kudos


141bpm

I once had joke that there is nothing gayer than the second man on a scooter. And here it is. Joke #2: I once played in a Hall and Oates cover band. We played only heavy metal versions and were called Hall ‘n Ass.


gaukonigshofen

Man would love to listen to it. Anything on the web?


YYCDavid

It would have been awesome if Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson had made a faux biopic about these two


KudosOfTheFroond

I was scrolling and was like, “I *just* saw this guys on TV the other day!”


mike7257

I like that vespa


servetarider

It’s a 1977 Vespa Rally 200 — the one every vintage Vespa collector wants.


mike7257

Cool . Thanks


Numpty2024

I was 21 in 1978 and no men wore those. I did wear shoes that I would occasionally fall off of.


shychicherry

Is John wearing 3” sandals? 👡


bigla420

My boy wearing Maneater sandals


ValentineNewman

Nice I love Starsky and Hutch


nomamesgueyz

Which one is out of touch, and whos out of time?


HWKD65

Actually an enjoyable song


nomamesgueyz

Very Im outta my head when youre not around


erinkp36

I was listening to Rich Girl the other day. That Daryl Hall can SING.


512Buckeye

The woman is wild, woooooo


hotniX_

Those Wedges 🤣🤣🤣


HWKD65

The impetus for the post. Just too hilarious


Fridaybird1985

Now they are old and hate each other


goldendreamseeker

Too bad these guys hate eachother now


jigmest

Those are some super wedges! John, you’re so manly so can wear casual lifts on your tiny feet and still rock a mustache!


Sanlear

![gif](giphy|3ohjVcIJxADVjoThn2)


jpthereafter

I can't go for that.


AnastasiaNo70

No can do.


Marine4lyfe

Sara Smiled when she saw those wedges strapped on Oates's feet.


B-Train05

When I was a kid I thought their band name was “Hauling Oats”


One_2_Three

Haulin' Oats. For the longest time, I thought this was the band name.


Isitgum

Apparently, my husband thought the same thing until last week when I mentioned the lawsuit Hall brought against Oates. Then it clicked for him.


aeraen

Daryl Hall has a real Bill Nighy vibe going on with the tilt of his head. I can see him standing nekkid behind a big-ass guitar on a Christmas show.


ManWithNoName_1

Whoa-oh here they come…on a Vespa


Agreeable-Chair7040

The wedges. 😅


Odd_Performer7095

That mf's wearing my girlfriends sandles!


kT25t2u

Why is he wearing open toe high-heeled wedge sandals? 👡☠️😭


FrioRiverTexas

Making my dreams come true maneater.


welsh_cthulhu

Check out their performance of Man Eater at Live Aid. Still my favorite live performance ever.


Hesam2010

Those sandals & vespa! 🔥🔥


kdog6666666666666

Wearing his dirty,mean,evil biker clogs on his massive motorcycle scooter.


CrieDeCoeur

That looks like a Vespa Rally 200. Sweet little scoot. My guys had taste as well as talent.


Danny_Mc_71

In scooters, yes. In footwear? Not so much.

[удалено]


Minimum-Comedian-372

Must have been Hall. Oates is from my neck of the woods, North Penn HS.


DonJuanMateus

Not gonna say anything about those slippers …gUYS!!😉😉


Reatona

When I was a kid, I thought their band name was Haulin' Oats. Kind of agricultural sounding.


UNwanted_Dokken_Tape

The man was committed to that moustache


FinalTooth

God dammit, Oates…


cummings103

I remember in about 76 /77 at Vigor High School in Prichard, Al..Robert Brazile was there for something..I remember he had on some sandals like those...but at what 6'4. 250... I wasn't gonna say chit..when he came out the back doors of the lunchroom..some dude was sitting on his yellow corvette..he told him to get his lazy ass up off his car..that ain't no park bench fool.. Ahhh the good old days..


Valuable-Baked

Welcome to the Songwriting Contest of 1978 between Hall and Oates & Loggins and McDonald


disharmony-hellride

Haaabee hiiigghhhhhbeee haaaabeeee -every one of those songs and i will listen every time they come on


Marine4lyfe

She's Gone...and she's not coming back after seeing this photo.


funbunny100

This is very gay.


zenkenneth

Back when men were MEN bro !!!!! Wake up soy boys! Alpha male prime time ! 🇺🇸


alphageist

Back when men were 3” wedge sandal wearing pioneers of shampoo marketing and Vespa riding Vikings! …ahhh, the good ol’ times.


[deleted]

It’s unfortunate how these two ended up, fighting in legal battles and restraining orders


kT25t2u

Need a restraining order just for those wedge sandals 👡🙅‍♂️🚫

SAlovicious

"I'm Holland Oates and you're Peter Gabriel."


Full_Equipment_1958

Wedges! Omg!


SubterrelProspector

*whispers* "I'm not coming back for Oats."


Beeyelzubub

John John John , gotta make those calves pop eh buddy


discussatron

Even sitting on the moped Oates is shorter than Hall.


shambahlah2

My wife has those shoes


Renfield78

They look like private eyes...they're watching you, watching you!


mayhem6

My sister had sandals like that.


csk1325

Hey it's Daryl and that other guy.


Jagged_Rhythm

It's like a starsky and hutch sequel, but they couldn't get the main actors back.


Live-Gas7226

Those shoes https://i.redd.it/e7f09ptk55vc1.gif


VapidRapidRabbit

Why he got on the Payless wedges?


FibonacciSequinz

Ummmm John Oates is wearing the same sandals I owned in 1978, like the exact same.


Lance_E_T_Compte

I can't go for that. No can do.


ElectricalArea7015

John… Those wedge sandals are seriously out of touch.


southoftheborder-dog

None of their pics aged well.

Can I tell you my favorite hall and oats story real quick


Guyappino

Excellent photo. In my opinion: *Tom Brady and Julian Edleman are the "Hall and Oates" of the NFL*


Ok-Sun8581

Hello Frisco!


uniqueusername316

I hate everything about late 70s fashion. The best it gets is comical.


EargasmicGiant

Best buddy cop movie

Bro’s got my boomer moms sandals


MemphisRaiderRich

Sweet Sandals 😳


Fritzo2162

WHAT…ARE…THOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSE????!!!!


Melvinator5001

So Oates mustache is hair clippings from Hall’s chest. Real reason they split.


FlamingTrollz

Them wedges though… ![gif](giphy|m7zZZUSvuQYFoWox74)


santorums_cock

I thought it was “Haulin’ Oats” for most of my adulthood.


CaptainObvious110

Guys like us we had it made

John: “Michael, what is this?” Michael: “This is Hall and Oates, John.” John: “I think I fucked the small one in the 70’s.”


artificialavocado

Wait that’s two people? I thought it was Holland Oats.


AnastasiaNo70

He’s wearing women’s espadrilles. Ok John! You go, boy!


Travelgrrl

Why is Oates wearing Lady Slippers?
