i do NOT need the temptation of customized vans!

mark c has GREBT taste in sneakers! i LOVE those green and red ones!

nathalie, Friday, 23 February 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I have had a rethink - I kind of prefer them with the top-of-toe area coloured and the band in front of the toes white (i.e. the opposite of above), so I'll work on a redesign. The ones above look a lot like the New Balance I have which are quite nice but have always slightly disappointed me.

Thanks Nath :)

All this talk of custom trainers makes me miss Pink Panther.

Maybe someone should tell her about Nu-ILE, then she can come and see if she fancies it?

Mark C, Friday, 23 February 2007 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Booooo!

Anyone know who is making a nice basic flat these days? I tried nine west earlier but found nothing. I'm five ten and being tall = big feet and an inability to walk in heels so it's important that I find cute flats or very low heeled shoes. Any recommendations?

ENBB, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude, I have the same problem, but I have oversome it with some interpid searching and general patience. Cute flats are totally hard to find, esp. in a size 10 for some reason. What is your shoe size?

What kind of shoes are you looking for? More casual? Pretty dressy? Open or closed toe? A weird sneaker-dress shoe hybrid (a fondness of mine) or leathery? Boots.

I have to admit this is one of my favorite threads.

Abbott, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I wear a size 10 too and it sucks! I love being tall but it makes shoe shopping so tough. There are so many cute shoes out there that I could just never wear.

To be honest I'm in the market for a couple of pairs at the moment. I definitely need a basic black flats as well as something fun and a little dressy. I'm kind of liking peep toe styles right now. Do tell more about the sneaker-dress shoe hybrid please, I'm intrigued.

ENBB, Friday, 9 March 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Sigerson-Morrison makes GREAT flats, but I suspect that's not quite what you're looking for for daily wear. :/

Laurel, Friday, 9 March 2007 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Altho their Belle line is a little younger and less expensive, that might work out.

Laurel, Friday, 9 March 2007 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

These in chocolate brown are my latest purchase

one month passes...
When I was 'shoes in hand' upthread someone accused me of fetishing shoes. I deny it no longer. I've found this:

I am desperate to find a pair of these in a size 8. Online I can only find them in a max 7; Debenhams only have them in Navy (which are lovely, but not right for the outfit). If I can't find them in Frasers at lunchtime, I'm going to start phoning every Bertie in the country :(

Madchen, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Got them! BUT I had to get a 7 because, according to the lady in Frasers, Bertie have stopped doing most shoes in an 8 in favour of more size 2s (wtf). They do fit perfectly well, though - yay slingbacks - and a size 8 would definitely have been too big so I'm all smiley. NEW SHOES!

Madchen, Thursday, 10 May 2007 12:30 (sixteen years ago) link

I need some flat sandals, kind of a strappy gladiator style, pref in black. where do I find? I was looking at some frye ones but my size is nearly always sold out.. plus I don't know if they run small, I really wear 10.5 and maybe a 10 wouldn't fit anyway?

daria-g, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:54 (sixteen years ago) link

my most recent pair (little disclaimer, because I do have kind of a habit):

I am considering getting a pair of birks for summer, this style -
http://www.birkenstockusa.com/shared/productimages/large/043661.JPG

they also come in all black, but the all black is twice as expensive ($150)

daria-g, Thursday, 24 May 2007 16:18 (sixteen years ago) link

also thinking of buying a pair of neon yellow-green adidas, since my favorite grey pumas are about wrecked

daria-g, Thursday, 24 May 2007 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link

D., I have the above in olive. They are super comfortable, and not too embarassingly Birk-y.

These just arrived in the mail:

Virginia Plain, Thursday, 24 May 2007 18:04 (sixteen years ago) link

exactly, i figure i need some sandals for walking around the city and it's very hard to find anything that's walkable, not hideous, and won't fall apart. fashiony people have def. been wearing those kind of birks

daria-g, Thursday, 24 May 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

yes
there is also a company called naot that has some nice styles, if you can find them - they also have a lot of hideous styles - i have naots from about 3 yrs ago that are light green with pink flowers embroidered in the leather straps - pretty - they are still holding up

rrrobyn, Thursday, 24 May 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

whatchoo talkin bout deej, those are the height of fashion!

gabbneb, Thursday, 24 May 2007 20:00 (sixteen years ago) link

I am considering getting a pair of these kind-of shoes for summer:

kenan, Thursday, 24 May 2007 22:50 (sixteen years ago) link

I think I am going to get some Teva-styles sandals ala deej and sacrifice all of my self-respect because it's too hot for shoes and ALL other sandals either kill the tendons in my flat feet or fall right off because I walk like a shlub.

Abbott, Thursday, 24 May 2007 23:34 (sixteen years ago) link

I can't wear the flats they make for girls bcz the soles are too thin and ZERO arch supprt, and walking on gravel or anything but linoleum/carpet in the is torture.

Abbott, Thursday, 24 May 2007 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link

kenan, don't write off the birkenstock-like sandal for guys - there are dif styles, like with backstrap etc - and you won't nec look like a hippie, and they are good for your feet. they are pretty much the only sandals i like on guys really.

both my flats are clarks, i realized! and they have decent support (i have really high arches too)

rrrobyn, Thursday, 24 May 2007 23:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Being an aussie (m8) i pretty much only wear thongs (or flip flops what do you guys call them?) during summer.
They fuck my feet up pretty badly. I may invest in some birkenstocks. I don't like the style of ones daria-g posted upthread though.

Drooone, Thursday, 24 May 2007 23:44 (sixteen years ago) link

they are pretty much the only sandals i like on guys really.

Oh, well as long as YOU like them...

rrrobyn, Friday, 25 May 2007 00:12 (sixteen years ago) link

the thing i like most about the kind-of shoe (the pic i posted are Sketchers, the only good thing they're doing anymore) is that they're sandal-ish, but still have a real sole and a real toe. So still a good gum shoe, not too pricey, breathes v well, etc.

kenan, Friday, 25 May 2007 00:20 (sixteen years ago) link

whoa... GYM shoe not gumshoe

haitch, Monday, 30 July 2007 12:57 (sixteen years ago) link
