new shoes

lamp: http://www.zuriick.com/

the sizing's kinda fucked. they don't have half sizes so i'm wearing them half a size too small :(. so many sick styles but only the laceup ones i could get over my foot.

@ mj2b - the purple is a little more muted irl more gray than purple its "graphite" according to google. they also came with white laces which ruin the look imo

@ jaxon - do you have any common projects? thats what i thought those might have been. i kind of want the black hi-tops but i always get annoyed by them at the store and get something else

man that desert boot construction (silhouette? i dont know what to call it) is showing up everywhere

common projects are so ridiculously overpriced though

thats a big part of the reason that i havent bought them yet and, tbh, i like the look of the zuriick's that jaxon posted just as much as the cp achilles. also i dont want to like look those ultralame guyz in my hood in band of outsiders topsiders. fuck them.

these are the shoes i got the most complements on all year:

i've been looking for a nice dress shoe for almost 2 years now and kept flip flopping on the opening ceremony (the ones upthread i got) and the common projects. they both have that wooden sole and i wasn't sure they'd go w/suits, but they look great w/jeans and suits and i'm sure the more i wear them the darker the wood will get. wifee found the opening ceremonies online at some sweedish site for almost half what they were in the store and no shipping so i was super stoked

also really liked Fiorentini + Baker and Rachel Comeys

my dress shoes are alden plain toe bluchers ... would love to get a pair in cordovan someday

flipper!

sleep, those are the "matching pair" of vulcanized vans i mentioned upthread

oh nice, i missed that, same red stitching on the heel and everything

ilx is historically pretty bad at shoes

some of these are aight tho; like sleep's last pair

like lamp's last pair too but they are a bit orthopedic

oooh I like these jaxon : )

so are you historically bad at shoes too or is this a new thing for you

cause those are butt-ass ugly, friend

they are fine

i'm sorry, that came out mean. i'd swap out the laces though.

they came w/purple and grey but I don't mind the yellow

daria http://www.tresbienshop.net/

lol didnt realize those prices were in kroner

tres bien is so great but so spendy : //

I think they look nice, cozwn! Then again, I'm probably historically bad at shoes.

we can be historically bad at shoes together : )

better shot

my ll bean moccasins arrived in the mail yesterday

uhhh nothing about that on twitter, what's up??

sleep ftw imo

While basically idolizing ILX in every other respect, I have always been more or less aghast at its taste in shoes.

id say a decent % of the shoes in this thread look fine

thank you for standing up to wanko ergo sum

yeah this is def the best shoe thread on ilx

but did I tell you ilx has been historically bad at shoes and it is a new thing for me

thank you for standing up to wanko ergo sum

my latest 'thing' is to defend ilx from ppl using negative hyperbole about it -- see also 77 thread defending ilm as more than just tim finney and vahid
