New Shoes.

But Suzy has agreed to take me shoeshopping at the weekend, so hopefully this will change.

(Ironically those holey shoes were bought because the last pair were ruined in hurricane flooding.)

Cozy boots, Pink!

I went to DSW the other day and strutted around in some brown boots, but they just weren't nice enough. I'm so greedy. I haven't even worn my Nordstrom's tall boots yet!

Mark C - I cannot wait to put my parka back on! yay!

I have to say that I find hiking/walking etc. boots to be the least stylish things ever invented. They go with fleeces and mutlicoloured rucksacks, for god's sake. Sorry Ed.

With a cat face!!!!

i wear the kenneth cole tone locs

I need help in this regard, because I don't like heels either. I used to be able to get away with a Cuban Heel, which I could actually balance in, but these days it just makes my feet hurt.

I've GOT to find something to wear on my feet that isn't trainers or hiking boots! (I forgot about my hiking boots until Ed reminded me, but I only ever wear them in Wiltshire.)

the chuck taylor slip-ons are pretty great. i bought mine a half size too big and can put them on without bending over. i haven't worn them without socks, so not sure how stinky they get. all of the anti-open-toe ppl so, so, otm

xp I think women have been wearing those forever - except they call them shoeliners

Adidas are sweet, but holy god are their tongues obnoxious. I mean they've bothered me so much that I've emailed the company... and browse thru any Zappos review, a lot of ppl think the same. They're v long and stiff (bite into you w/ every step), iono why they're so fond of the design.

canvas? canvas doesn't really breathe i dont think

Yeah mine were canvas. Converse are made of canvas, right? Lotta friends tell me their feet feel great in them, that they really get to breathe and are great barefoot...and I'm just always going wtf. Sometimes I really think think people are misinterpreting the quality as some sort of metaphorical thing... like their feet get to "breathe" via nut being "crushed by cushions or thick materials. imo I don't think I've ever owned a shoe where I felt my feet... um, tickled by the wind.

just got these yesterday.

your new dancing clogs, I take it

I don't think the word "scoff" means what u think it means.

your shoes have contracted a terrible octopus disorder, rip

I really like your new shoes where did you get them

From under a sofa cushion...IN HELL.

the new Reebok OMGWTFROFLMAO

Someone needs to post that first picture on the trypo thread.

it goes without saying that those are ugly, but what are they even for -- is there some new sport where you sort of sidle around instead of running?

they're suction cups so you can walk up walls like spider man

they're for being awesome

I am having a miserable time finding decent-looking (like, somewhat officey professional style) shoes that I can walk ~3 miles a day in. Question for in orbit and anyone else who knows anything about character shoes: these are intended for serious wear, yah? But are they somehow OK for dancing on stage but not walking around a lot in places that, er, aren't theaters? Because I'm getting desperate here and a nice T-strap with a 2-2.5 inch heel that is kind to feet and can take a beating would be sooooooooooo great.

Been wearing these as one of my work pairs:

and I really like them, but the bottom layer of the sole is this weird synthetic material that I guess is glued on, and I had the glue melt and the sole come loose while I was on a subway escalator. Luckily I was at Lex/53rd and my shoe repair guy is right in the subway station -- he said he had never seen the sole material before.

Want:

those do look nice

not being familiar with opumo, why are they so expensive?

hello I am a big nerd and wear these in the black/gum color
https://www.nike.com/t/sf-air-force-1-mid-mens-shoe-rlVGpl

they are "expensive" because they're made of natural calfskin, made in europe, and aimed luxury consumers. but they're actually rather cheap for a sneaker that ticks all of those boxes.

yeah was gonna say price actually seems very reasonable, in a similar range to campers, many of which are not as expensive a material as calfskin.

i like both the shoes recently posted itt

picked up these in a sale at soula

First time I have done one of these leather nu-sneaker type shoes. It has nice details, photos actually don't do it full justice.

Those look really nice, what's the brand?

Bought these recently:
https://cris.nu/img/productcolor/90_14augus-32-1.jpg
They are fantastic. Quite pricey but I've bought similar shoes (though leather instead of suede) ten years ago and I'm still wearing them.

the brand is Pointer, I didn't know it before but I pretty much trust whatever the store stocks and have discovered good brands through them before

Those pointers turned out to be kind of a bust. That brownish coating on the sole is glue-like and sticks/peels easily.

Meanwhile, thinking about maybe getting these:

sucks about the Pointers those are some of the best-looking "nu-sneakers" I've seen

I've switched from Chucks to PF Flyers because I needed to be able to put in an insole - somehow the sizing is even dumber than Chucks so I had to order 15s.

I bought some black Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue factory seconds in their factory second sale. No obvious defect that I can see. Def the nicest pair of dress shoes that I’ve owned, simple but the leather just looks and feels so much richer, even the smell is nicer.

I bought some checkerboard vans. Solely because SPICOLI. LOL

aside: user half jack near top of thread posted a pic in 2003 that still links. i was kind of amazed at this and went to the source, a blog called style with substance that hasn't been updated since '09 but still holds its place on the web. kind of a little internet museum for ya if you're curious. wayback machinations.

carry on.

they aren't new but I'm being an even bigger nerd and wearing these today

https://bdgastore.com/products/af1-downtown-hi-sp-acr-003

caved and bought my first pair of knit sneakers -- can't find a hotlinkable pic but it's these swift run pks
https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Swift-Run-PK/dp/B07B4PSDKZ

most comfortable thing I've ever worn and gonna be amazing in hot weather

lol, I just realized the image I posted above a while back of my pointers has been replaced with images of silver and gold vejas

Anyway, I was actually gonna put in a word for Beckett Simonon -- one of these internet only companies that takes advance orders, mostly for dress shoes but now they also do boots and sort of luxe sneakers. I'm not really a fan of their sneakers, but I did order a pair of burgundy oxfords from them and they are pretty sick and incredibly well-made for $160. I want to buy boots from them now, the only problem is the lead time means I won't have them til January and I kind of want boots now.

is that like a white contrast stitch on the sole?

they look nice though unfortunately i have no reason to buy or wear dress shoes these days.

No it’s just the light reflecting I think. The color is also oddly hard to capture in photos.

ah ok, that makes much more sense.

I wound up ordering another pair of beckett simonons in *the before time* and finally got them recently. This is a pic from the site, not of mine, but this is what they look like

wow. beautiful.

I am becoming a bit of a stan of the company - wish the shoes didn't take months to arrive, but I guess that's why you pay what you pay for them.

I have two basic leather dress belts from them as well, also v good

Trying to decide between these two:

Just ordered my first ever pair of Chukkas. I used to be sort of against them, but I need some kind of non-black, semi-casual office shoe that goes with a lot of stuff. Guess we'll see how they look in person.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0277/9027/products/2GBRA_PairFront_116201_2048x2048_crop_center.jpg?v=1630686995

Yeah, those turned out bad and I'm returning them. Color is really ugly in person, less red and more tan than pictured, and I'm not sure the chukka shape suits me anyway (I feel like in pics they're always shown with extremely slim leg pants, jeans that are hemmed high, and I have thick calves and can't wear super slim-legged pants without looking like I'm wearing tights.

Seems like tons of mens shoes are out of stock rn. Supply chain I suppose.
