Those are quality Northampton shoes and worth every penny. While my Dad was working, he used to get a pair a year.

Are those Tretorns?

Got a pair of b/w plaid Chucks this week I'm really liking. They match my scarf, which makes me feel like kind of a tool but I think it looks ok and so do not care. Too much, anyway.

Want Jack Purcells for summer, but apparently they're not made in a size 14. Bastards.

Oh yeah, I was eyeing similar tretorns when I bought the Generic Surpluses. Tretorn seems like kind of a great shoe company.

I was always hesitant to do a dressier Camper, but these have a more proper-looking sole on them. I may still remove the little camper tag though - kind of corny.
― Kinect: The Body Is Good Business™ (Hurting 2), Saturday, 6 November 2010 20:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Also caved and bought a pair of toms, which are absurdly comfy.

I like the look of those toms. maybe I'll pick up a pair. these shoes are $$$ tho

i like how toms look/fit but theyre kinda just [....] verz of vans
― Lamp, Sunday, 7 November 2010 03:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Mine were like $75 I think? Definitely not cheap for that kind of casual shoe but they feel much better than typical converse/vans type shoes - they're lightweight, insulated, have some arch support, are very soft, and apparently are also water-resistant.

Plus I mean they supposedly bought a pair for a kid in Africa with some of that money.

I still can't buy Nikes somehow -- I think the whole sweatshop thing in my college days just stuck with me, even if other brands I buy are using sweatshop labor too (not Toms, I don't think, but probably others). For that matter Nike may have improved its labor conditions -- don't know. But the association doesn't wear off. Also they don't tend to run as wide as I need.
Nonetheless, those are nice and I like them better than the Stussies.

those blue shoes are dr. martens, actually, made for stussy. pretty cool but i couldn't imagine ever picking it over more comfy / neutral options.

got these in brown, for half price:

the first leather shoes i've bought since 1998.
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link
the soles are leather too - i took them to a cobbler and he fixed a thin protective rubber sole on them. he said it would last two years.
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, they look like they'd be nicer in Brown actually.
The Campers I bought were like this, although I want to say the brown is darker:http://camper.secure.hoxsolutions.com/is/image/Camper/18530-005_L?JGVzaG9wMyQ=http://camper.secure.hoxsolutions.com/is/image/Camper/18530-005_C?JGVzaG9wMyQ=
― Kinect: The Body Is Good Business™ (Hurting 2), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
They have a leather sole with some camperish stuff on ithttp://camper.secure.hoxsolutions.com/is/image/Camper/PIS04202?JGVzaG9wMyQ=
I was assured that they could be resoled later with a standard sole if I want, once they wear out, because I had been burned on a pair of pelotas I loved but could not get resoled due to the weird ass camper bubble sole.
― Kinect: The Body Is Good Business™ (Hurting 2), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:16 (thirteen years ago) link
(yeah brown is definitely darker, btw)
That was why I stopped buying campers, I hate shoes you can't resole. might try those though.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
pro-tip for people buying shoes with smooth leather soles - wear them for a day before getting the rubber fixed to the bottom - the rubber will stick better if you've got a rough surface
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:21 (thirteen years ago) link
^excellent pro-tip

couldn't you also just score it up with a razor or sand paper or something?
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:22 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, it rather upset me - I had this beautiful, thick leather shell with bubbles so lopsided I could barely walk in them. The bubble sole was actually less durable than a regular sole, too, because when it wore out unevenly it was much more detrimental to the shoe. I had justified the price with the "quality" and that they would "last longer."
― Kinect: The Body Is Good Business™ (Hurting 2), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:22 (thirteen years ago) link
gbx sure but then you wouldn't get to wear your Amazing New Shoes
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:28 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Monday, 8 November 2010 17:30 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
