Shoes

[ray_MAN]

I like Avia. They are light and comfortable. They are great for running, too.

 

[Shippi]

I don't know what brand my shoes are.. they're.. shoes..

 

[Fat Tony!]

I have absolutely no idea. :thumbs:

Seriously, I could care less what brand they were. I just picked them because they look kinda cool.

QFE, who cares what brand they are? Most shoes don't look great, I just use them to stop getting my feet impaled on glass

 

[ray_MAN]

I just get shoes too. I can't be choosy either because my feet are extra wide, and there are only so many extra wide shoes. :|

 

[el Chi]

Dude, quit while you're ahead. These polls are practically lame and shallow. With the addition of the absence of Puma and Vans on the poll, I despise you.

I liked the part where you shot him down for starting a shallow, shallow debate and then added your wisdom to the shallow, shallow debate because you were above his shallowness. That bit was cool.

 

[PvtRyan]

i know what you're thinking... cheap shoes!

I dont like branded shoes, adidas etc. waste of money for something made by a poor little kid in taiwan. Infact, i find branded trainers complete rip offs, so i get the cheapest most decent pair (for the price) and not nike or adidas or any of them sport brands.

Nonsense, you pay for quality. Maybe some stuff is expensive out of proportion, but I guarantee you a good pair of shoes will outlast a cheap pair. Pretty much everything I have of a brand (not just shoes) is still good as new, cheap stuff is well... long gone.

Levis, clearly

A good pair of shoes are 'not' determined by price. The overinflated price you pay for designer/name brand shoes is exactly that, the fact that it is a designer and/or a namebrand shoe. Same goes with clothes. Do you think its because they are more rugged of construction than other less expensive brands? Not necessarily so, and most of the times, either only equal, or actually inferior in construction which leads to more purchases as people become further slaves to fashion.

The only thing you're paying for, with those big prices, is name brand.

There is a difference between 'cheap', and 'less expensive'

i dont really care aslong as i can sprint in them

Nike shoes cost f*ck-all to make and sell for up to £100-ish... What you're really paying for is the blood and degradation of some Asian child's life.

And if that isn't worth £100, I don't know what is. :hmph:

 

[Llama]

I dont wear any desighner stuff, i just buy them and race the hell outta them

[Murray_H]

Where do you find this stuff?

Read what I said again - on newsround, as in I was watching it!

 

[Llama]

yeah i mean, where do THEY find this stuff? Do they put up adds?

 

[Murray_H]

Bollocks, sold out of my size of the trainers I ordered

Edit - must be fate! Found them for about £25 cheaper on eBay

Newsround: The most patronising news program of all time.

I just went to their websites. Yeck, I can't stand smooth shoes/boots. I need contrast, some detail to break up the smooth surface a little.

 

[xLostx]

A topic such as shoes could only come from a genius like NightBlade...

 

[Steve]

Nothing like my Nike Huraches. Comfortable as hell. Ugly as sin, too, but hey...

 

[Raziaar]

Oh give him a break. I've started equally mundane topics before.

 

[xLostx]

Oh give him a break. I've started equally mundane topics before.

Perhaps, but do you make threads such as this over and over? :hmph:

 

[baron insig]

[Lemonking]

Vans all the way

 

[SimonomiS]

I find those plastic bags round your feet that some homeless people wear quite comfortable AND stylish.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Stuff them full of newspaper, and you've got winter shoes.

 

[SimonomiS]

Sutff them full of newspaper, and you;ve got winter shoes.

Farrow, your a GENIUS!!
*Grabs some newspaper and plastic bags*

 

[ailevation]

:naughty: Nike, Puma, Asics, Vans, Clarks, Timberland, Converse (Jack Purcell).

 

[pomegranate]

I so rarely find any shoes that actually fit my feet comfortably that I hate all shoe manufacturers equally...

 

[StardogChampion]

Dr Martens are the only shoes for true hardcore rockers like me.

 

[CptStern]

Dr Martens are the only shoes for true hardcore rockers like me.

[Raziaar]

The only good kind of boots to wear, if any, are combat boots. Awww yeah. Punk rock style! heh.

 

[Shodan]

I wonder what his next thread will be?
