Last shoes you bought.
 
These are so fine.

bout the only shoes I wear these days are my Borns. Got this the other day. My other main shoe is a slightly dressier Born brown oxford. This one is almost as comfortable as a pair of slippers or old broken-in running shoes. Mine are chocolate suede like this but not with the blue stitching--that's weird. Mine has brown stitching, which looks much classier. Oh these are nice--my feet are happy!

 


I also bought some old-school-style green-suede Pumas.

I bought a pair of used black boots. It wasn't until I brought them home that I noticed the previous owner had written "DEATH" on the bottom of one.

blue sunlover 10.05.2006 11:05 AM

after 1/2 a year boots are dirty and you have to buy a new pair of shiny leader boots.

blue sunlover 10.05.2006 11:07 AM

I bought a pair of low top, black on black, Chuck Taylors from a dude on craigslist. when I went to pick them up he was in an un-air conditioned house, an empty house save for a couch near the front room where boxes of chuck taylors were sitting, and he tried to sell me some different kinds and I got my pair and took off
 


thes shits is "hot"!

I find converse are stylish, but they continuously rip on me. It's times in the moshpit that they get pretty bad. My next pair will probably be wallabes or a neater looking shoe.

Must be what all the kids are wearing these days. While I was deliberating over which Borns to buy the other day, a mom and her teenager came into the store and bought a pair of these in like 2 minutes.

erin and i both work for shoe companies in boston and frequently get new shoes for free or dirt cheap. its kind of ridiculous, but in the last 6 months i have gotten a pair of earth shoes (the company i work for), 2 pairs of clarks - a uk moccassin & a pair of wallabees, a pair of sauconys for the gym replaced last night by a pair of 587 new balances thanks to erin's job. i also have a pair of medium shoes that i got from urban outfitters for 5 bucks... however my everyday go-to shoes are a pair of clark's desert treks that are beat down to perfection...

gmku 10.05.2006 02:03 PM

oh yeah, I like those Clark desert treks, too. Used to own a pair way back when and I loved them. Have to keep em in mind on my next shoe-buying expedition (about once a year).

I like my Converse, too, but it's true, they don't hold up well. I save em mostly for summer and early fall. And I don't wear em if I have to do a lot of pavement walking--not much cushion.

dnorsen 10.05.2006 02:05 PM

hands down best shoes i have ever owned. they are so comfortable and perfect.

They do on me too.The pair i'm wearing now are opening at the back wich makes me like them even more.

I got a free pair of shoes from Puma my new place of employment. I don't really like them. Puma shoes are wack. Don't tell my manager.

TheDom 10.05.2006 02:14 PM

Converse about 2 years ago

Everyneurotic 10.05.2006 02:56 PM

some sketchers like two years ago.

hey dom!! we haven't shopped for shoes in years!!!

*high five*

gmku 10.05.2006 02:58 PM

I get new shoes about once a year, in the fall. I must walk heavy or something--I'm pretty tough on my shoes.

Pookie 10.05.2006 03:18 PM

I have a pair of DM's and a pair of Converse.

I buy the same two pairs of shoes all the time and have done for the last 25 years.

I have very conservative taste in footwear.

gmku 10.05.2006 03:40 PM

^ Lovely!

So today I returned a pair of shoes--some black high heels--my wife bought yesterday, because she wanted the next size up. The sales clerk (a young girl) brought them out for me. "Yep, we have them," she said, and then opened the box and handed me the left shoe and looked down at my feet! No joke! I wonder what she would have done if I'd tried them on!!

gmku 10.05.2006 03:52 PM

^ Heavy!

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 03:56 PM

now i feel horrible because i just ordered these and they're marc jacobs.


 

gmku 10.05.2006 03:57 PM

I'm sure Marc will understand.

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 03:58 PM

Not him. They were expensive....


Really expensive.

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 03:59 PM

But they match my favorite coat.

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 04:01 PM

Did you go goth without consulting me first?

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 04:01 PM

Of course, I would be dressing everyone like a dandy if I had my way.

& you gave me shit for shelling out a measly 25 bucks on the Simply Vinyl pressing of Blonde on Blonde...

Cantankerous 10.05.2006 04:04 PM

I know. That was really absurd of me. The amount I paid for those shoes though is even more absurd.
