well thx u ! ebay seems cheaper 400bugs for shoes jesus christ.

you're also taking a bigger risk, as 80% of shoes on ebay are fake.

They aren't shoes or what?

More stripes, more adidas.

beyond slip-on shoes there is only one show worth noting: Wallabees by Clarks.


i will own a pair of these for the rest of my life or until they stop making them.  these shoes are twice as comfortable as anything i have ever worn and they look good enough for work use.  Wallabees are the Topre of shoes.

LOL. Are you sure you're not just wearing them because of your love for Wu Tang tricheboars? :P

Not mine but I have a few of these Clarks



I also wear the "high version"



They are pretty comfortable to me.

I also recently bought the sneaker at the front of this picture. I wanted a retro style sneaker, but tried to avoid getting New Balance

From the first time I saw them more than a month ago, I've been looking for a pair since. I finally copped a pair in my size. I absolutely love these to death!

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I've got a pair of Topsiders in soft brown suede, they are amazing shoes and I love them to bits. Though since I live in a fairly rainy part of Norway I can pretty much only use them during the summer, and barely even then, as they'd get drenched in rain or mud the rest of the year...
Edit:
Been looking into getting Vans or similar canvas shoes for times when the weather is not so nice, but haven't found any to my liking so far, so if anyone could suggest me some nice canvas slip-on shoes that'd be great.

Ah, the topsider... Was planning on getting a pair though my arch supports didn't fit in them... Had to get the canvas shoes instead.

I hear good things about Toms, but I don't own any myself.  Even for slipons I tend to prefer leather to fabric, especially when worn without socks.  For summer wear I either go with sandals or the Pikolinos driving moccasins I bought about five years ago.

Anyone got any experience with Supra's? I've wanted a pair for ages but they are ridiculously pricey this side of the pond so I want to make sure they're not crap.

i obviously do. they are very nice.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Yeah just took a look through the whole thread finally, nice! Decided to order some from the US instead, turns out they're about 60% of the local price including shipping.

i've owned a few pair but not since like 5 years ago. the non skate-specific shoes were pretty awful quality. i owned 2 pair of skytops (polka dot and floral print).

then i woke the **** up and now i pretty much only wear vans slipons + a small rotating cast of lace up shoes (1 pair tigers, 1 pair clarks, 1 pair addidas). i live too active a lifestyle to worry about sneakers and honestly i kind of came to the same realization with them as i did with keyboards - almost all of it was tacky flashy conspicuous consumerism for me rather than just finding something i liked and being happy with it.

Those look comfy!  For hiking I had some Vasque Sundowners that fit me perfectly out of the box, talking zero break-in time, but I wore them out and haven't found a decent replacement.  Wearing a pair of Ecco hiking boots today, they fit well but don't have that supportive ankle feeling.

What brand are those Yak leather boots?

They're from HanWag. The good thing about these is that they can be repaired quite easily by a skilled cobbler.
Take a look at Meindl if you have wider feet. And if you want to know anything about these shoes, feel free to ask me. :)
