I haven't bought these yet, but I have designed them on Nike ID, and I want your opinion. What do you reckon of the design? What would you tweak?

ARgh, mine eyes, no. those colours just don't go together. Then again, I am slightly colourblind so pay no attention.

Bought some new Campers recently (on credit card) simply because I was sick of having to check the weather forecast before I could decide which of my battered shoes to wear (old Campers = let in water, old Camperesque Clarks = don't, but were getting disgusting). Also bought some black Dunlop pumps from Office - they were cheap.

Now, why is it that new shoes hurt the second time you were them, but not the first?

I love green and I love deep red (which it is, not pink as Sgs rather cheekily described it) - I am not 100% sure thy go together but I think this looks pretty nice.

― Mark C, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Mike, that happened with the pointy woody ones I posted on the pointy shoes thread. I hope they don't hurt the 3rd time too.

If anyone else wants to play with Nike ID, it's fun! Just go here.

I love how boys have taken over this thread.

Mark, I'm sure the colors aren't 100% true do to being online and stuff, but maybe that would look better with a deeper, more brick red? It looks almost magenta on my monitor. (again, not true colors.)

― Ms Misery, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I agree it doesn't look quite as I'd want it to, but if I remember rightly it's the darkest red they have.

― Mark C, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link

bah, I couldn't find the customize part? Do you have to register? Vans.com has one too which has entertained me many times during lunch.

My little brother has a new business customizing shoes. He paints them and puts any kind of design on them that customers want. pretty awesome. Most of what he's done is pretty, well, loud, but they're made to order and he's gotten a huge response from the hip-hop scene and extreme-sports type dudes. He's been invited down to a fashion show in Houston next month. I'm proud of him.

here they are (unfortunately on a garish myspace page but I'm working on a real site):

― Ms Misery, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

It's the only red they have for that part of the shoe :(

― Mark C, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

You don't have to register - hover over "footwear" (to the right of where it says "Nike ID"), then choose a type, then that takes you to the customisation process.

― Mark C, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll have to check out your brother's thing, sam. customized stuff makes the best gifts.

― lauren, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, had another go, dumped the red. Thoughts?

I'm very into Keens these days.

I have these

and these, which are waterproof for when dog walking.

― accentmonkey, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

those look nice Mark, kind of camoflauge colors. I think the point of custominzing though is that you should get what *you* want, even if it makes others shreik in terror. ;)

yeah check them out lauren. he said he could do some vans for me but I still thinking of the most perfect design.

― Ms Misery, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i do NOT need the temptation of customized vans!

― lauren, Friday, 23 February 2007 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 February 2007 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

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
