new shoes

ya, i almost got redwings. the Iron Ranger look like these wolverines, but w/a toe cap and are slightly less expensive. i surprisingly had to go down a size and a half with these ones.

wut about timberland earthkeepers

is that their new fancy brand (that sells at like barney's and stuff like that?). i've seen some that are pretty nice.

i dunno some sort of eco-friendly line of theirs

I got the 1000 mile wolverines too, Jaxon. In black. Very expensive, but my birthday is coming up. I also tried on the Ascot, another from the series, which I liked a bit more, syle wise they were simpler, but they pinched me in a weird way whereas these were super comfortable. I bought them at a super trendy shop in brooklyn and everyone there was wearing them and they were really distressed and looked great and apparently they gave the shoes to somebody who like, took a belt sander to them or something, to give them that lived in look.

Was thinking about some cross-strap tretorns a bit like that but wound up with generic surplus instead.

I know boat shoes/docksiders etc are controversial here but that same high-end place that I got the Wolverines was selling these docksides boots:

which I think are pretty cool...

or not, I can't tell.

the boots seem ok but the sole looks rong to me

I have not gotten new shoes in too long

not to denigrate on the recent purchases of anybody itt! but I have been looking for an alternative to the converse all-star type of look, still lo-cut and slim in profile though. any suggestions?

vans

Dan. Did I already mention that I had to get vibram rubber soles added to the wolverines? I bout them specifically for the crazy rain we've been having, but with the leather soles on the wet ground, I felt like I was ice skating. So makes them even more expensive :(

and along the same lines as those other shoes you were looking at, I almost picked these up. They're pretty cheap ($100). Eastland Senecas.

*bought*

My wolverines came with vibram soles on the heal, but the rest of the soul is slick. I have the Clarks boots I posted upthread which I initially bought to deal with snow, because I was still wearing the wallabees and those have no tread at all and I was slipping around.

Those Senecas are nice, but my issues with the food doctor were that I need shoes that are both strong and supportive and with a high heal. Those senecas don't look much better than wallabees in that regard.

ya, added rubber to the front

I realized after I bought those upthread that I had suede chucks that looked very similar in eighth grade. I don't think my style has ever actually changed.

fwiw mine are also more bluish but that was the closest pic I could find.

I know yr not rly asking me b/c I am not a sneaker collector, but I say Y to the ones with the toe-bumper and N to the last two jogging-styleee options. M for "Maybe" to the tan pair up top.

i like the black for a casual sneaker shoe, cute with jeans

I would like really supportive and comfortable walking shoes. I think I'm going to go to Jackrabbit or something.

I mean sneakers.

are those skateboarding shoes? they all seem to have really thick tongues.

the first and third are sk8 companies i think

whats a toe bumper

o i c the 2nd one

i absolutely adore rachel comey shoes. she just created a (very very cool) ecommerce website for her mens line

http://www.rachelcomeymens.com/

but are they comfortable?!?!

I'm still struggling with the wolverines. It's like it depends on how I tie them. Sometimes they're great, othertimes less so. Still hoping they break in but finding it harder to wear them daily.

i don't own comeys, just dig em. the wolverines broke in immediately for me. weird

i have a pair of comey boots that are pretty comfortable. they are a little big on me, which makes them less so.

god i love all those comey shoes. its like porn.

yeah they're nice

really dig these APCs against my better judgement

is it me or has every single company come up with a clarks dessert boot style shoe in the last year?

comeys always seem kinda not worth it although the oxfords are crazy nice... guess theyre really well made too
