The Shoe thread
 

What do you like? What's the most comfortable?

For me, I like Chucks, but there's tonnes of downsides. The price easily outweighs the quality of the shoes, and they usually fall apart rather easily. The inner linings of mine are starting to tear. I like them for fashion, but I'd rather have something that's fashionable as well as had pretty good quality.

I don't give a damn, as long as they fit. I have really difficult feet. Last shoes I bought were 200$ asics cuz they were the only ones I felt comfortable into. Yet all my clothes come from value village!

Emerica's are 80$. Just a suggestion so you dan't have to keep paying too much for shoes. & they are strictly skate shoes, so, they're made for comfort.

yeah but skate shoes' soles are too often too soft, meaning they'd probably fuck my feet more than they already are. plus I buy my shoes in a rather renowned joggging shop in montreal, so I get good advice. but yeah it'sa bummer that they're so expensive, yet my mother usually pays the bill :)

Well, as long as she's paying, it's all good.

im trying to get a picture, but Golas are great. I got my first pair at a garage sale for $5 brand new. then i got some autralian flag shoelaces, which made them look awesome. i just got a new pair for $50. They last for a bout a a year and a half, and i wore them everywhere. i prefer them to chucks because i hate goin to shows and my feet hurting from chucks. I can even mosh with the Golas. Heres my shoe

Emerica!
But lately i'm starting to wear allstars

I have Chucks, I call them Chuckies though cause they get holes and I sewed them back together.
Hahah they're my favorite shoes, I couldn't throw them away.

I really don't care a lot of what I wear... I prefer buy discs...

Speaking of long lasting shoes, EMERICA's have lasted for me as long as 3 years. & considering the wear & tear that skate shoes go through, that's pretty damn good.

Hahahaha, nice, I do the same with my chucks with the holes. It looks fashionable. I use white thread so you can easily see the stitching.

summer=chucks
fall-winter=globe+ethnies
spring=depends
skaters shoes are so comfy....any opinion on DC shoes?
here in italy some of their spots are being aired during this weeks...

3 years?!? i shredded mine in 8 months!!!

DC... buh i dunno it's such a stupid brand. i don't like the models and the skaters on the team are dumbasses.. except for danny way.

I have some imitiation allstars which I got in Shoe Express for £6. They seem to be lasting about as well as actual converse. I also like Dunlop Green Flash. They are pretty cheap. Both the above shoes tend to fall apart within about 6 months though. My Dunlops have been going since January I think and there are holes starting to appear.

i wear allstars for a while now and they last very good :) i sewed buttons on them, everybody says they look nice.. during the winter i often wear boots, and during the summer just flat open shoes or flipflops

I've only worn either Chucks or One Stars since I was in 6th grade. Yeah I was a little "grunge kid".....still am really!

I wear Vans. For some reason I've always been a fan of Van's shoes. I have a pair right now I love so much I'm afraid to buy new ones.

I had a pair of Black Chucks for about a year or so until my mom washed them. Now I can't wear them... just... no. So I went out and got some blue suede converse low-tops. They ruled, until I got them covered in mud and they need to be cleaned. Now I have some Nike Tennis shoes which are holding about pretty good.

I like shoeeeees.

I have worn the same red chucks for almost 4 years, and they are still in great condition, I've washed them twice, Danny why can't you wear yours since they have been washed? One thing that sucks about wearing chucks is when you jump off a high place and land and it hurts like hell because they have no padding! oh yeah and also when it rains because water gets in those hole on the side.

my favorite shoes.

i have this pair of puma's designed by philippe starck. they're waaay futuristic and wierd looking.


that's them.

its like 2080!! must be comfy if yr into those kinds.

You know, I always think that there is a very distinct difference between shoes and trainers/ sneakers/ daps. The former being what I though this thread was about, the latter being what it was actually about.

For the record, I always buy the former, and haven't owned the latter for over 10 years. My current favourite shoes were about £300 worth of Italian wonder, which were buggery to break in but are beyond comfortable now. While that may seem like a lot to pay for shoes, I've had them 8 years and they still look as good as new with a bit of polish, which means that's worked out at less than £40 per year on shoes. I have other shoes, of course (climbing, trekking, interview) but these have been my mainstay shoes for a looooong time now.

Shoes. It's all about shoes with me. Mmm. Shoes.

Fuck that! I have had about 5 different pairs of Emerica's and they have only lasted 4 months tops. I usually wear Vans which don't last that long for skating but feel super good on my feet.

I don't really know. They just look weird when they're really bright white.

I used to wear chick taylors alot, but id go through so many pairs cause they fall apart so fast. They also dont provide much support on the soul. I just wear vans or something. Im not a very materialistic fella.

I fuckin hate chucks
, i wore them in winter when i walked two miles to home and school everyday. it was hell. I prefer vans. they're strong, comfortable, and rugged.
