The soft leather really is kind of amazing, and the soles are great, and they're obviously well made. I've just never spent so much on a pair of shoes. But I tend to only own one pair of casual shoes and wear them all the time, and I've been trying to make that adult leap to spending more money for things that are genuinely better quality and will last longer (and be a better value in the long run).

I think Campers are definitely worth the price (and I'm super-cheap). I bought a pair of red pelotas five years ago and I still wear them. (Granted, they've got a few holes in the heels, but the soles are so thick, it doesn't even matter.) Take care of them, give them a polish every once in a while and they'll look and feel great for years. Best shoes I've ever owned.

Wots with men's shoes not coming in widths anymore, btw?
― Hurting 2, Monday, 15 October 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
The only person I know who wears eccos is my 89-year-old granmother. There was some discussion of their comfort and style on the High Heels thread so I had a closer look in a department store but ... meh, they still look a bit comfort over style to me. And I'm not old enough to care about that yet.

I really really really love these boots. So comfortable, so attractive.

they look completely dud on their own, but i realize that most men would wear trousers over'em and that will massively improve these boots. :-)
i never ended up getting this cutesy miu mius i ogled some time ago. they didn't even have'em on sale in my size. i ended up buying some boots which are very narrow (for my cow feet). more sensible (financially speaking). also, i didn't want to get something "posh" when i'm still a fat blimp. :-(

maybe like these more tho http://canada.zappos.com/images/729/7290327/4998-355964-d.jpg

maybe they are too dark
use brighter laces?
― StanM, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Totally. Throw some laces that match the light gray and not the dark gray, and you've got a much brighter pair of shoes.
― B.L.A.M., Wednesday, 26 March 2008 19:51 (sixteen years ago) link
haha i was thinking more like 'they aren't fuschia' but point taken
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 19:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Rrrobs I was thinking the same: kelly green laces on those brown(?) sneaks.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i just don't know if i'm that kinda girl tho, with the bright laces - i'd rather have the whole shoe be bright or not be bright anyway, the big thing is that i need a comfortable pair of shoes for walking around in early spring b/c all my shoes of that kind are old/broken
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link
and that aren't runners or hiking boots (though i do kinda need hiking boots/shoes too)
so unmotivated at work today! sunshine is leeeching motivation! if i were a cat i wld be doing that crazy thing cats do where they run from one end of the apartment to the other and then jump in the bathtub and meow really loudly

lace-up cap-toe stacy adams ankle boot + leather soles. classy.
― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link
i'd actually like a pair like that! was for the first time regretting trashing my doc marten boots 6 yrs ago but then they just aren't my style anymore anyway. but maybe something like this wld suit better. hm.
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
robyn are you lumidee?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 26 March 2008 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
i think docs are okay for a look, especially once they get nice & weathered & worn, but I don't really need the chunky rubber sole myself, i'm already a tall dude and don't need boots that add another full inch to my height
― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i want a cleaner look, i guess e.g., i have white-soled sneakers but wld like darker soled sneakers for work purposes, uh, more 'sophisticated'? look i am probably not lumidee
― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link
those are beautiful boots, elmo.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 21:17 (sixteen years ago) link

these i am thinking could be my summer in the office shoes. they are naturalizer, believe it, and i'm all into their style reboot.

I can totally see you in them.
(I went into Schuh tonight and the only pair that appealed were a navy blue and red pair of Adidas Superstars. I've got two pairs of Superstars already)

Oh gosh, I bought some new Nikes. I googled'em but cldn't find'en and found these instead:

Sales! I bought new shoes. But the price was very "unsalesy"
http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/_shop/products/374-351-photo2.jpg
Also boughht a pair of grey shoes. Less expensive: about 80 euros.
― Nathalie (stevienixed), Friday, 9 January 2009 13:40 (fifteen years ago) link
(I bought the ones for women, cldn't find it on the Church's site.)
Those are quality Northampton shoes and worth every penny. While my Dad was working, he used to get a pair a year.

Are those Tretorns?

Got a pair of b/w plaid Chucks this week I'm really liking. They match my scarf, which makes me feel like kind of a tool but I think it looks ok and so do not care. Too much, anyway.

like them tretorns. it's almost spring, means i almost can afford new sneakers

Want Jack Purcells for summer, but apparently they're not made in a size 14. Bastards.

Oh yeah, I was eyeing similar tretorns when I bought the Generic Surpluses. Tretorn seems like kind of a great shoe company.
― pithfork (Hurting 2), Sunday, 7 March 2010 02:00 (fourteen years ago) link
I got some dsquared sneakers. Hurt like fuck but they are super great to look at. lol

I was always hesitant to do a dressier Camper, but these have a more proper-looking sole on them. I may still remove the little camper tag though - kind of corny.
― Kinect: The Body Is Good Business™ (Hurting 2), Saturday, 6 November 2010 20:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Also caved and bought a pair of toms, which are absurdly comfy.

i bought a pair of toms classics last spring & they wore out so damn fast. not impressed
