new shoes

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

that leather!

anyone fuck w/pointer shoes?

is there a non-flash version of the page? it was cute @ first but now I wanna post it on the bad restaurant flash website thread

( the rachel comely website)

yeah i dont think there is. i was looking at them irl the other day tho and i feel like i was converted into 'a shoe person'

the world of the accessory

i mean how can you NOT live with a $300 pair of butter-soft oxfords

I feel like if I bought those shoes I would have to wear those sockettes/whatever they're called and either hem all my pants or cuff them to above my ankle or maybe just wear oxford shorts all day

probably would just walk around wearing shoes and only shoes

what kind of man wears baggy rolled up jeans with a pair of oxfords. that website is wrong

is that what they wear @ gawker

yep

people in my office today are throwing wee fits about greenpoint dudes wearing oxfords and "dress shoes" w/out socks...

*looks down* :/

cant really afford comeys atm + already have like four pairs of v similar shoes. instead wanna cop:

so I stopped wearing my wallabees, I stopped wearing the stan smiths and my lacoste canvas chuck taylor style sneakers. The Wolverines never broke in and still hurt like hell. The clarks boots with treads posted above fell apart on the inside so I have to fix that. Have a really old pair of Kenneth Cole beatle boots that I wear wore tonight that only killed after a an hour of dancing but still I wouldn't wear them every day like I used to.

So what did I do? I went to Jackrabbit, like I said above, and said "I need the most comfortable shoe ever made for walking" and they said we all wear these....

I tried them on, walked to the other end of store and halfway there started giggling. I'd never worn shoes that comfortable in my life. They're "trail" shoes, meant for running through the woods. Basically good running shoes with more flexibility to handle more irregular terrain then their normal running shoes. I had never heard of the company, but it seems at that store, and online, Brooks is up there with Asics and New Balance?

Anyway, they're the only shoes I've worn since I bought them except for when I needed to dress nicer. I still have foot pains but different and lesser foot pains. Will probably go back to a podiatrist eventually, but these were a huge improvement.

Knowing they wouldn't be too much fun in the dead of winter, I went to Red Wing...there's a store in my neighborhood in Queens, and tried on a few pairs and they were all terribly uncomfortable, and I'm just too gun-shy now to take a chance after spending hundreds on those Wolverines. All I can think to do is to take my clark boots and get the insides fixed.

Oh yeah, they are called Brooks Cascadia 5

Brooks makes the best running shoes imo, plus those are awesome looking!

i got blue adidas superstars today at 40% off sale. i tried to get some black and silver beckenbauers, but only one shoe was in the box!

was the other on display?

apparently not! it's a department store with another building, which is being renovated at the moment - dude thought it might be in there, haha.

anyway tell me what i still need to get rid of.

moonship, I would sell both of those crazy woven nike pony hair things but I think this is a discussion that has already taken place upthread

I like the desert treks and I'd hang onto the Stan Smiths too

like the SBs and the clarks

i really want to splurge on these boots

gah i spent forever yesterday looking for boots/shoes in two different malls, sooo much ugly. I want something like those aldens but I don't need 40 eyelets on a 6" boot, jeez.

i get lots of compliments on those ponyhair footscapes. i like the modern-primitive look, the comfort/ventilation is off the hook, I can play tennis in them (though i don't), they're really soft and organic, etc. and the brown is really rich and primitive.

my biggest concern about my shoes is a sense of redundancy. then again my favorite kind of pasta is olive oil + one ingredient.

whoops didn't mean to say the brown was primitive, meant to say it was vibrant

ill buy the grey ponyhair nikes if youre selling think theyre swag as fuck

wld sell all the other nikes (except maybe the gery suede zooms cuz theyre classic dgaf a shoes) and the nb. do clarks really have resale value id be tempted to keep those around too

ive been slowly trimming my p ridic shoe 'collection' but only by tossing the most f'd up pairs. i have like eight pairs of sb mids in near mint that i shld sell since i never wear them anymore

newest shoes a pair of vintage british black leather wingtips from the 30s
