This Trend is Stupid and Dangerous
If you thought fashion’s appetite with chunky footwear would die down, then think again: The industry is still high on huge rubber soles. Since 2017, major luxury players like Gucci and Balenciaga have ushered in an era wherein ostentatious — and at times downright ugly — sneakers are signifiers of status; but more than that, they’re instant indicators of cool.
Much to the dismay of minimalist shoes lovers, Bottega Veneta and Prada took this obsession with bulky footwear up a notch for Fall 2019, when they each showed lug-soled boots (the winter equivalent to brawny dad sneakers), which later became streetwear standouts during the Spring 2020 season. Now, almost a year since they first clomped down the runway, the combat-inspired style has been brought to the masses with affordable options from Everlane and Mango. What’s more, a slew of contemporary brands — think Simon Miller and 3.1 Phillip Lim — came out with investment-worthy versions that play with luxe materials and come in range of platform heights.
Ahead, shop our gallery below to find a lug-soled boot that’s just for you.

Yeah, it makes no sense to computerize an emergency brake. But what find even stupider is the parking brake that automatically comes off when you put it into drive. If I set the brake so I can get out of the car, is in case the car shifts into gear, which I had one do many years ago. I had to chase the car around and I nearly got run over because I didn't set the emergency brake!

It’s not an emergency brake, it’s a parking brake. It’s designed to prevent a car from rolling away when at a stop, not to stop a car already in motion.

They want to be able to exert more control over events remotely. Whether that means disengaging your now-parking brake when you're parked on a steep hill, or overriding your accelerator and disabling all of your ability to brake, thus killing you.
Let's be real here. Just say it. Everything is about control. For them, not you.

wtf are they thinking electric e- brake DUMB, DUMB, FUCKS.come on already with all the electronics.this is exactly the reason i do not buy newer trucks,or cars i restore all the older stuff.

I didn't know they had done that to the emergency brake ( cuz I only have old cars) so when my sister drove me to town, I went to put the window down and !!!! I had switched the f*ing handbrake…it made a bad noise but thankfully didn't work as we were doing about 50. This is stupid, many cars have the window button on the centre console.I have experienced a brake failure in a car and your first reaction is to pull on the handbrake. If it don't work when your moving…Arrrrg..

Kamil Pelak

Definitely agree with your video. The more electronics they put into cars, the more dangerous they become. Maybe in the future these things will be a great thing, but as of now it's all a trial run. (that makes you the dummy) aka not worth it.

Technically, the CTS is just being redesigned and renamed the CT-5, but I suspect it'll be equally bad.

They've just done it ( imposed it like dictators -no one asked for it) to save time and cost on the production line and dressing it up as an innovation -that only benefits the maker.

Please! It´s a Parking brake, NOT a Emergency brake! That´s why the warning light on the dash is a "P".

My 2016 Civic has the electronic PB system in it. I can't stand it. I'm always looking for the handle. Not to mention it's impossible to whip the rear end around in a freshly snow covered parking lot now. 😁

I rented a Chevy Traverse with this and I immediately thought what you did Scotty. I would not feel safe if I was relying on electronic e brakes while it was up on a jack.

Only positive thing I see on the Electric parking breaks are they automatically engage when in park. So all the idiots that ruin there transmission from parking on slants with out using the parking break it helps. Other then that its a dumb idea

I love the idea of electronic brakes in super cars, but for regular vehicles, just give me a typical handbrake. The thing I hate the most about the electronic brakes is that their functions differ from car to car. The way it works in a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is way different from a 2019 Mazda 3.

ever have to put the e brake on when a car battery dies? or take it off? or put it in neutral? yep exactly. so many of us had had to do this one way or another. now think of what wouldve happened if it was all electronically controlled. even with older automatics, you could press the shift lock release if need be. with those all electric ones, good luck.

Electronic emergency brakes? How stupid can you get? Where are the bean counters when you need 'em? You would think the trend to go cheaper would extend to this area too.

On very cold days my E brake doesn't work on my Toyota Tacoma if it's on it stays on (meaning that you can't turn it off) but the hand mechanism that you pull stays slack…so you have to remember to not use them when it's really cold.

Attempt to cut down on materials. No hat on rear rotor or brake shoes, steel cable, etc. It has a little motor that just clamps the stock rear disc brake. Can see cable brakes being an after market thing.

It's funny to see all the oldies get their knickers in a knot once a physical system is replaced by electronics. People fail to realize the technology has advanced where the electronic parking brake (EPB) is statistically less prone to failure vs a traditional parking brake with cable which has much more failure modes with higher failure rates such as from corrosion, lack of adjustment, steel parking brake lines stretching and much more. An EPB is much more reliable and being able to control the amount of braking with a manual parking brake is irrelevant since the PCM/TCU modulates the electronic parking brake when applied at speed to apply it at the max rate without slippage to provide the shortest stopping distance

I really wanted a Cadillac ELR so I joined a Cadillac group on Facebook. I know Cadillacs can be a little bit delicate but after a few months of reading about stupid problems I decided that it isn't worth it. At my like to get from point a to point b without too many problems. Most of these cars are way under a hundred thousand miles. They're truly unreliable.
