Just got feet, don't got SHOES

god i love these visvim shoes but wtf theyre like $700 too.

the sides are embroidered

on reflection all my visvims turned out to be pretty shitty shoes, glad i sold them

i dig the idea of embroidered canvas sneaks but i can't get down with that price tag, not into paying luxury rates for faux naive folk art

you could just get a pair of chucks and some DCM embroidery floss @ $0.30 per skein but

can u make me some?

Sure, for $650.

i am very interested in embroidery but i haven't got around to trying my hand at it yet, but i'll let you know when i do phil :3

those pink hipster princess shoes are on sale for 50% off...

I think you know what you hafta do.

bought 2 inch wedge sandals why bcz cute

now i just need to learn how to walk like a lady and not a farmer fml

new shoes why u destroy my hobbling heel blood red raw :(

According to the Tretorn website, the closest place to Oxford St where I can buy Tretorns is here

https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=+40+Watmore+Lane,+Wokingham,+RG41+5JT,+

i mean

i guess that is somebody selling them on eBay out of their garage?

i went to a fancy sneaker shop on Carnaby St and nobody who worked there had ever heard of them

new shoes why u destroy my hobbling heel blood red raw :(

lol i wore no socks with converse about two weeks ago, as it was so hot, i still bear the stigmata.

that is precisely what i just did with new purcells

ok i just called the head Tretorn office in Sweden. no shops in France or England. what happened to these guys?? Tretorns used to do big fucking business when i was growing up. random girls in Knoxville would be rocking Tretorns.

(xp well not new actually tbh, i got them off ebay expecting they'd be broken in but appara not cos it's only my blood on them now)

uniqlo sell a lot of those short socks in some decent colours. i already had some when i decided it was too hot to wear them, genuinely still hurts each time i put the converse on now.

yeah i had to gingerly tiptoe into sainsburys to buy a pair, and some plasters

not really a fan of those short socks at all though

every pair of doc martens i ever tried, socks or not, mangled some tiny bone in my heel so thorougly that i'd limp for days afterwards. in fact i attribute my feet's incompatibility with docs as the primary driver behind me not getting into the smiths, throwing muses or the cure and getting into metal instead

i find normal socks look a bit dumb with shorts but i don't wear shorts that often.

xpost i once had a pair of adidas i got off ebay and there was no discernible pain at first, but after walking ten minutes with them they seemed to pinch some specific nerve just around the bridge of my foot, causing agony. it was as if you were having some medical emergency or something.

idk about bone mangling but docs have done a number on me too in the past. it's perfectly natural for a wide variety of quality shoes, just my repeated idiocy in not prepping every time is the most irritating thing

i would imagine the heel-wearing ladies of ilx are rmde-ing hard at us right now

I have tretorns but I got them in the states. Can you not get em in the UK then?
I love my DMs but they destroy my ankles. I know I need to break them in (they're abt 15 years old lol) but how can I when the PAIN

Heels, sandals, flats, boots...shoes hurt. Leather shoes need breaking in, by which time unless they're partic rugged, they're halfway to worn out and don't look as nice anymore. In summation, walking is for suckers.

Can you not get em in the UK then?

Apparently not! So weird. Plain canvas shoes w/flat soles seems right up Britain's alley - in fact, as a colleague told me today, the classic Tretorn T56s are basically a more classic version of the Dunlop Green Flash, which is ubiquitous here

Here are the ones I want:

The Swedish lady from Tretorn told me on the phone that I can order them direct, and what size I should try. I have never ordered shoes through the post before.

I had these super-soft leather ones. Replaced them with random ones ordered online and they were kind of sleeping-bag material :(

Got them $100 below the website price, so pretty pleased.

nice heel! i need brown boots

hurting those are some nice shoes dog

ty

yeah I am pretty into shoes with soles/heels that are a different shade from the rest of the shoe. Not those lunar crepe things, just like tan with brown or tan with black.

yeah the heel is super important

i'm wearing clicky heels today, i like them. the shoes are black but the laces and stitching are midnight blue which is also a neat contrast

lol garda check the third pic, rear view

"In fantastic wearable condition, only worn a few times"...

i'm very (perhaps overly) wary of two tone shoe/heel combos, playful or classic-with-a-twist or whatever doesnt seem to work for me at all

Had to check this a few times before I realised, haha, poor guy. Pretty nice shoes.

Just got a pair of these, mostly because of the big reduction (£50 from £125 iirc):

The Vintage Shoe Company shoes I bought just feel incredibly well-constructed -- good leather, tight stitching, every sold but still comfortable. And apparently made in the USA too so I guess I should feel proud of that or something.

omg they're here

jesus h christ i had no idea they were going to be this beautiful
