new shoes

An accquantaince of mine is the head designer of Clarks north america. Are the wallabees really comfortable? Not sure how I feel about them but if they are maybe I should see if she could swing her friends and family discount for me.

the wallabees are ridiculously comfortable. i wore mine last night. i can walk in them like they were sneakers. i have the clarks desert boot also and those shits hurt my feet. they look a little "nicer", but i walk a mile to get to the bus and my ankle/heel feel like they're on fire.

i feel like a lot of the shoes v & j rep for might be a bit too californ aye aie for my tastes

being a san diegan i don't walk as much as jaxon does but here are my feelings about the comfort of clarks

with the wallabees, the only problem i had was that the crepe soles seemed really high and wobbly at first compared to my sneakers and i constantly thought my ankle was going to roll and break. after a breaking-in perioid though the crepe got worn down enough that it wasn't a problem.

as far as the desert trek goes i actually have suede and not leather and it feels pretty nice to my feet, i think.

i walk a fair amount and my sude d boots are great, i wear them more than any other shoe

v. otm about the soles

Loving these:

I just bought these and although not the most stylish ever they appeal to my desire for comfortable shoes and the inner 17 year old riot grrrl into clunky mary janes that is still stuck inside me:

I got a black pair of these as kind of an upgrade/variation on black Chucks. I like em.

also a pair of brown leather boots by Jump that I can't find a picture of ... nice and comfy but in retrospect the leather's too soft for NYC, the toes were scuffed & shredded in like a week from going up and down concrete steps all the time

Not even the manufacturer has the Spring Courts I want in stock in my size (13/46).

just get purcells, spring court is hella pretentious

purcells make me think of little kid shoes
― moonship journey to baja

^^ i got over this feeling btw

Do Purcells have the same soles as regular Chucks? I had to stop wearing the latter, they're so hard on my feet.

dave those are dope

i like spring courts, they're not pretentious imo just a basic tennis shoe

ps i have worn my rod lavers ~1000x and my purcells ~2x, just sayin

i should probably replace those lavers

lavers are a+

laver vintage is a really good looking shoe:

what? no perforations?

just get purcells, spring court is hella pretentious

i dont get this - purcell vintages cost more than spring courts and the plain canvas purcells are kinda cheap looking and offer less support. the canvas spring courts look pretty dope to me and like something u would totally vibe

threw this together on the Converse site last week - y/n? Probably in a low top, hopefully I can fit a good insole in

yeah can you do insoles in chucks? they kill my feet

Wings+Horns Service Boots - $800 retail, almost worth it at the places going 50% off if I could find a 13.

anyone got any experience w/nike blazers... are they comfy?

also I see liberty have released a blazer adaptation of last year's dunks

womens

not comfy, though not unbearable. they're basically just heavy and don't really fit the foot like a modern shoe does. on the other hand they won't give you blisters or anything like that, the seams and uppers are generally soft

cool, thanks, I guess I shd go try some on before ordering online

never did get a pair of low dunks, maybe I shd take the plunge

they hurt like fuck. but look damn good.

Yes, Church shoes. On sale still 250 euros. Did I say they hurt like fuck? But I've been wanting to buy some since I saw a pair of those in Miu Miu (Tokyo) five years ago or so.

Church's are good. My dad's a big fan.

Boat shoes and shorts for the summer, y/n?

campers - y/n ?

kick back with a rolling rock & a fishing hat?

almost bought some boat shoes for summer 08 but they all seemed too stiff! still think it's a pretty good look though

campers are a little too corny indie fux imo

boat shoes are a lil too corny indie fux. i do love the look, but it's so ubiquitous

y/n - wearing out a pair of shoes and buying a new pair of same shoe/same color?

y -- esp w/ the classics

those boat shoes are SICK. are they quoddy?

oh duh, i just checked the image name. i want a pair of those, too.

and jaxon you are sorta right but the thing when the shoes are as nice as the quoddys i think that makes them a little more classic than like cheap white sperrys or whatnot.

damn, son, where can i cop

could get the same shoes in "team red" but not really feelin them AT ALL

yea those grey ones are some buttery ass kicks

I saw these boots today that look like vintage wingtips except they go up to the ankle. Awesome imo even though I don't usually like mens boots.
