New Shoes.

gbx sure but then you wouldn't get to wear your Amazing New Shoes

true, true.

new sneaker day (or new shoe day, i guess) is always exciting. esp since you have to balance the joy of new shoes with the anxiety of scuffing them for the first time. i imagine this is what parents go through as they wait for their child's first injury.

I love the Amazing New Shoes feeling. I still get a little rush from taking them out the first few days, like I was in middle school. Doesn't happen with jackets or shirts or jeans.

Love those grey suede shelltoes, would totally wear them myself.

White's Semi-Dress boots came today. I feel like my feet are encased in an Iron Man suit.

3 pounds, 3 ounces PER BOOT

hurting can i ask where you found yr new campers?

wow, i like those boots. where can i score a pair of those?

$387! well fuck that.

I thought those boots were awesome until you pointed out they weigh over six pounds...I don't think I could wear shoes that heavy.

I had a pair of knee-high lace up boots that I had to get rid of because they were just too heavy. I felt like a Jacob Marley's ghost thing going on from the knees down.

lol that is almost as much weight as my ski boots

i thought spending $150 on shoes was crazy. thats about my limit.

They were ridiculously expensive ($450, parents picked up half for my birthday present) - but I wear 13EE, and there's fuck-all in terms of boots I like at that size without going semi-custom. They'll last me 10+ years with resoling and care, so I figure it's worth it - before my feet got wider, I was killing a pair of DM 1460s every year.

I bought via bakershoe.com.

If you wear a normal size, keep an eye on Ebay. I hear White's sells straight from the factory on the cheap sometimes.

bought these last night. killing my feet today.

This is the thread where I say that it irritates me on a low but constantly disgusted level to see guys wearing great boots but not bothering to lace the top half and letting everything flop around under their skinny girl jeans. I don't even care if they were MADE that way and they in fact have NO eyelets or speed hooks on the upper 5 inches, IT'S STILL STUPID.

Yes, for those people, may I suggest some convenient not-boots? They are called shoes. ^^

those are some shoes i bought but yes, they also illustrate your point :)

letting everything flop around under their skinny girl jeans

ILX out of context

i lace all the way and do not wear skinny jeans.

Nothing flops anywhere under skinny girl jeans, as I understand it. But I should have said "beneath."

girbaud jeans n tims or nothing

They're waterproof. They're lined. They're black. They're comfortable. They're boots. Thumbs way up.

Did not see this.

Got them here: http://www.soulashoes.com/

They often seem to carry individual shoe models I can't find online.

xp thx dude!

i dont get mad amon

i get even

The Campers have worked out great although they turned out to not look quite as sharp as I would like with a suit and are better with a nice jeans and a jacket type outfit. Something about the particular brown and the laces.

yeah i love all campers but their dress shoe designs are just short of formal enough a lot of the time.

which sucks because then i have no cool yet formal shoes to wear w/a suit.

Q: Could I get away with wearing the black ones with a standard-looking suit? The side of the sole is sort of a tan/light brown as opposed to a typical all-black dress shoe.

whatever those are, i like them

xpost they are florsheim by duckie brown

I have a gift card for florsheim and I think most of their shoes are ugly, but the duckie browns are really nice

So yeah, tell me whether the lighter-colored sole will make them look too informal for a suit

Hurting - I think so.

Just bought these for work - http://www.schuh.co.uk/red-or-dead/mens-grey-red-or-dead-mr-briggs-geography-lace/3102627520

like those, but your workplace is clearly a bit easier with dress than mine.

Most of the other guys are smart / dull in my regular office, but I'm the creative maverick in the corner, so I can get away with them.
