I don't ride, but I have wide feet and they fit well. Excellent for walking in and they do pretty well against the elements, except for snow, but at that point unless you have snow boots you're ****ed anyways.

I just bought these off ebay

I avoid wearing shoes if possible. If not, I wear flip-flops or moccasins.
In winter I wear rainboots that look like frogs. :)

Oh hey, sneakers! I love sneakers. Here are the ones I wear most at the moment. I've had the Adidas for probably 5 years, and have another pair that is maroon with dark blue stripes but I feel like a clown with them so they're hardly worn. The black/gray/red Pumas I wear the most right now. The brown Pumas are closer in color to the Adidas, the picture is very dark. Gold/yellow trim around the white stripe thing.

I've really been wanting to get my hands on a pair of these, but they were limited and I can't find my size anywhere.

No but seriously, both of those shoes are sick.

Some sneaks I was wantin:

PUMA 2009 Japanese Monster Pack | Hypebeast

I'm talking about all the sneakers as they are all beautiful, but the silver (Mecha), reptillian skin (Lizard), and furrrry low top (Gorilla) ones mainly.

Freebase Dali 06-16-2009 05:33 PM

^ is that animal hair on those shoes, surell?

simplephysics 06-16-2009 05:37 PM

they're all kinds of awesome reguardless. I really like the moth king pair.

Freebase Dali 06-16-2009 05:41 PM

I just haven't been able to keep up with what new kicks are out there.
I'm perfectly happy rockin' some shelltoes, or some sandals. My shoe collection is not very diverse.

I'm wearing a pair of blue Chuck's right now. The rubber at the end of them are sticking upward and my toes can be seen. It also has been treating with a rainbow of sharpies.
Still <3 them though.

Freebase Dali 06-16-2009 09:53 PM

I'm pretty much anti-chucks.

I used to wear those things when I was 14, prior to it being a fashion statement. I fucking hated them then, and I hate them now. They're hardly even shoes. They were just the cheapest thing around.
And now that they've been pumped up by the music media and faved teen idols, everyone is all gaga for them... and the current price is ridiculous for how little shoe is actually there.
Plus, they look retarded.

Thanks.

Why so much Chuck hate? Over here they're around $70AU which is a lot cheaper than most other shoes. I like my chucks. They're comfy and practical and not expensive to replace.

I"m with you there man, I bought a pair and they messed my left foot up something fierce. Too tight for my feet and with absolutely no arch support.

If you do a pricing in USD, it's around 45 dollars. That's still too much money for so little shoe quality. But that doesn't even matter, because trends provide the market, and the prices follow.
Inflation isn't even a factor. Chucks prices have shot up due to demand as a result of trend whores. It's not an assumption, it's a fact.
I realize that happens a lot in every aspect of materialistic product, but Chucks really takes the damn cake.
You could probably make a better shoe out of construction paper.
And if we're basing our Chuck-lust on visual qualities... well.. heh... you could make a better shoe out of construction paper.

It was a fad, but it's currently a zombie.

Well, they're still miles cheaper than other shoes here and I think that appeals to people. I don't really have a problem with the quality of the shoe. I like them. Plus there's hardly any sneaker-type shoes that don't look lame on girls. But I can see what you're saying... how they've brought out all of these 'special edition' chucks with lame, novel patterns and shit on them. Anyway, I'm not going to reject something I like just because it's trendy. These days pretty much everything is commodified anyway.

Oh I totally agree with not rejecting something on the basis of trendiness... I mean, ultimately that's just as trendy and even more ridiculous.

I just know that there are better shoes out there, for a guy anyway, who just so happens to not be trying to look like every other hipster jackass at the sake of his own comfort and bank roll.

Taste is taste, yea I know. But when it comes to Chucks... I just look at them and know that the explosion of unfounded love for them has everything to do with a trend, and absolutely nothing to do with a quality shoe.

Surell 06-16-2009 10:23 PM

I like Chucks, myself. Period.

I was also gonna put a picture of my heels but I decided not to. But you go Vanilla!

Astronomer 06-16-2009 10:27 PM

I can't stand heels. They are bad for your feet and they hurt :( I don't care if they make your legs look hot or that I'm only 5'2".

I could just hug you.
Finally, a real woman.

sidewinder 06-16-2009 10:48 PM

Wow, $45 for Chucks now? Crazy! I bought my girlfriend a pair like 3 years ago and I paid about $20. Anyway, I had some back when I was 12 or something, they were teal high-tops. They were in style then too...in fact, they've never gone out of style.

But me personally? I find them very uncomfortable, and don't like the looks of them enough to warrant wearing such an uncomfortable shoe.

Exactly.
So you know that the poor sods who're bearing the cross of horribly aching feet are doing so for the sake of style.
(style isn't worth it)

Do you even care about shoes at all? I suppose because I love fashion and model that I adore heels but how could you not like them! The fact that you're 5'2 (as am I) means they give you a sense of power and height.
