Anyone tried these Saucony Omni 9 before? How do they compare in comfort and durability to similar New Balance and Asics?
>>18118604i wont buy anymore sneakers, they are poorly made, the weight of your own body is distributed badly, they don't last long and they cost too much for all the defects they give you not to mention the posture you have, everyone who thinks differently is a certified faggot
>>18118676Post what you've tried
I had a pair of Sausages Endurance and they barely lasted one summer. Never again
>>18118680New balance r2000
Should I use the darker laces from my old pair? They happened to be of the same shade of grey as the sole.
>>18119763I prefer them with the white laces but they don't look bad at all with the grey ones.
I wear Xero
Id like to get more thoughts on these. Still deciding
>>18118676I agree with this statement. I still buy them though and suffer, because for certain fits they look good. >>18119919NPC (con)zoomer core
How are the comfort of Waffle Ones?
Are supergas 2750 any good? Just heard of this brand. They're on sale where I live for 25 bucks.
>>18119763I prefer the white laces.>>18119919If you're still deciding over something as minor as the color of a tiny logo, you don't actually want the shoes. Buy something else if you buy anything at all.
I have a pair of Nike Dunk high from early 2010s I barely wore. I don't see them on stock X. Should I just copy the prices on eBay and sell them? I'm looking to sell in person, not online. I just need to make the midsole white again.
>>18120771>If you're still deciding over something as minor as the color of a tiny logoleft pair is white and right pair is like eggshell. I know its minor. Id probably be happy with either but I have to wait 2 weeks to order cause im moving anyways so thought id get some more opinions.
>>18120977From the picture at least, it's so imperceptible that it really doesn't matter
>>18120984skill issue
>>18120987skill issue would be to ask strangers which color shoes go best with unexhibited clothing
>>18118604As >>18118676 already alluded to, it doesn't really matter, just pick whatever pair of foot-sloppers you like, enjoy being unfashionable and watching them fall to pieces.This topic is more suited for /sp/ than /fa/, since sneakers should only be worn during athletic activities. Certain high-quality leather tennis shoes work for casual fits but the garbage you posted is just awful, which is fine and good for you if you like them.
>>18120977Eggshell is much nicer but you can't unironically wear them anywhere where that's a factor, who cares about subtle differences like that when you're playing sports or exercising?I hope you're not planning on wearing these outside of such activities, are you?
>>18119763My gran has worn this shoe model for 20+ years
>>18120989I dress like a typical north american male(without much thought).My girlfriend wear lululemons 99% of the time and considers jeans to be fancy>>18120993refer to above
>>18121007>I dress like a typical north american male(without much thought).
>>18120993but also to answer your question, yeah id use them for pretty much what I use all my other shoes that arent dress shoes for; gym, hanging out with friends, going to a bar, going out for dinner, doing whatever. Obviously wouldnt wear them to a wedding or formal event but shiiiiet this isnt the fucking 1800s old man a dude be wearing comfortanle footwear. Im not gonna show up to hang out with my friends looking like reviewbrah..
>>18121008I honestly dont know, this board is a ghost town and 99% of the people in WAYWT threads look like autistic virgins larping like some alt hipster.
>>18121009There's a very wide range of options between ugly cattle-core sneakers and dressing like reviewbrah, if you accept this possibility and are willing to do some research you'll be ok.A pair of reasonably priced leather /fa/ sneakers for evening engagements is probably a good place to start, it won't raise eyebrows but adds a bit of polish and will help you look less like a complete dumbass.>>18121012Cool story, bro
>>18121009>>18121017From there you can look for a pair of casual loafers, only one step above sneakers in formality but you'll look like less of a cunt
>>18121019>loafers>less of a cuntGet off the internet for a while dude
>>18121022>tee hee look what I posted, momEnjoy your Nikes and gooning
>>18121023>Enjoy your Nikes and gooningKek you got me. Well played..
>>18118604Pay around just under 1/3 extra for a secured pair from an international storeOr try my luck with upcoming raffles where they are hard to get tin my cou try. I could end up spending more than intended if I win a bunch of them. Or completely miss out all together. Then if I miss out I will be forced to probably spend double on retail I've always wanted these and desu will probably be my last pair and I'm out the sneaker game
I keep getting mixed opinions on this pair fresh or nah ?
>>18122011oops
Well made USA shoe. State of the art walking shoe.
need some suggestions on sneakers for clinical use, would be nice if it goes along the scrub's wine color

Hey guys, never really bought a decent pair of shoes in my life or know anything about shoes. I like these but I feel like they would look overkill on my feet. A good buy or are their better alternatives to something similar thanks! :]
>>18125737these are good
I bought some grey 990v4s on 50% sale like 6 months ago, I still haven't taken them out of the box. Not sure what to do. I love how they look, they just aren't interesting to me and I think after a lifetime of wearing sambas and gazelles, they feel so clunky and look weird with a lot of normie tier outfits.

I'm looking for alternatives to my black Air Force 1's. I really would like them plain, black, comfy and durable. I hate any noticable logos. Ideally I'd just buy another pair of AF1's but Nike has worsened the quality noticably and my AF1's already look like shit after a year of usage. What do you guys recommend?
>>18120990>sneakers should only be worn during athletic activitiesEven then it should really be a minimal shoe. People run in these gigantic puffy soles and wonder why their knees get fucked up after a few years, it's because our legs weren't designed for high heels
wtf is wrong with adidas. find awesome clean white sneakers. about to buy. last second notice that for some retarded reason the front of the shoe is suede that will turn brown within a couple of weeks.

>>18123972built for bbc
>>18123547Are you high? Doctors and nurses all wear the most comfortable thing possible since they are on their feet all day. When I used to wear boat shoes to the hospital shadowing they were by far the most formal thing anyone there all day had on.
I wear Keds
Are 574s supposed to be this unpleasantly snug? I jump around sizes a lot. Wearing 8.5 killshots as my beater. Bought 9s in them. Still feel pretty snug. Not sure if I just need to loosen it up more or they just need to be broken in.
>>18130590The most comfortable are barefoot shoes

Why are Air Jordans so popular in the world of fashion?
which one?
>>18133255Top, if you got no problem styling them.
>>18133255Never liked 90s. The plastic panels feel completely random and the silhouette looks like you're wearing platform heels. The uni gold 1s are much much nicer and easier to style.
is NB530 durable or should i give it up if i want to wear it almost every day for more than a year?
>>18118604They are okay
>>18133255they don't have in my size so maybe these
>>18118604Saucony Jazz are the most comfy shoes on the planet
>>18134630Yeah, I had a pair about 4 years ago that I got for $30 and I liked them a lot. Have you tried any of their other offerings? I'm the OP by the way, and you're the first person that has somewhat responded to my question
>>18122242990s confuse me so much. They are simultaneously ugly and cool looking at the same time, I can't tell if I like them or not. I wish they weren't 200 Dollars
Thoughts on Hogan?
Rockos modern life shoes
>>18133235Because they are beautiful sneakers. I don’t even follow basketball. They just look that good
I just picked these up. I needed to replace my ultraboosts and I have not found anything more comfortable to stand all day in.
Thoughts on this XT-6 colorway? I've wanted a pair of XT-6s for awhile, these are on sale, just curious if there's a better colorway or a better shoe out there for a gorpcore look
>>18134921not a big fila fan but these actually go hard
>>18135448>a better shoe out there for a gorpcore look
>>18135563I love sandals/flipflops and I've considered Suicokes, but these look very interesting. Do you own a pair, can you personally speak to their quality
>>18135571don't own suicokes but i can safely say that xeros are worth it. comfiest fucking shoes ever
>>18135572Right on, looks promising. Just want to check a few things, you posted the Z-Trail EV, they a few other models but is that the definite winner? Also there are a lot of reviews from the anti-shoe/grounding crowd, please tell me this isn't that
>>18135579>Also there are a lot of reviews from the anti-shoe/grounding crowd, please tell me this isn't thatthey are barefoot shoes so idkcan't really speak for other models
>>18135615I don't have a problem with the anti-shoe crowd, as bulllshit goes it's totally benign, however I'm not going to trust them to make a pair of shoes that can be comfortably walked in, either on city streets or public trails. I love wearing flip flops in the summer but they aren't healthy. If I can find a pair of sandals that properly pad and support my feet (while looking effay) I'll wear them, but a sandal designed by folks who think we'd all be better off walking around barefoot is going to be the exact opposite of that.
>>18133235black people
>>18129326One pair. Boots or real shoes for everything else.>>18129374Follow this advice if you want to look like a faggot.
never used the adidas confirmed app before. trying to get my hands on a pair of yeezy slides for as cheap as possible and that seems like the only way. how do i make sure i can qualify to purchase it? or is there some other way to get it for retail ($70) or less
>>18118604Manchild general
>>18136215>trying to get my hands on a pair of yeezy slides
>>18136215what do you mean qualify? You just enter the drawing and sometimes you get them. If your bank is really shitty you can sometimes have processing errors with a particular credit card, which means you won't get them. So some people prefer using paypal or google pay instead for this exact reason.>or is there some other way to get it for retail ($70) or lessno, but reps are like ~$30 and essentially the same thing.>>18136251hey, they are legit comfy
>>18133235They arent anymore tho>>18136251Literally the most comfy slides ever made.
>>18134918Yes. I used to wear the black leather ones for work. Very comfortable and lasted years.
>>18134681Yeah I have a pair of strange fruit ShadowsI prefer Jazz.
needed a skate shoe and this was the first doable choice
>>18136115>a sandal designed by folks who think we'd all be better off walking around barefoot is going to be the exact opposite of thatthe base is quite sturdy and has a surprising amount of traction. you can adjust the straps if you have a wider foot so they're really comfortable imo
i like sauconys, i had shadows for a lot of college. ive had these for a few years tho i didnt open them til last week.
Which one are we copping, bros?
>>18137800I don’t see the appeal of this shit
>>18136251NTA but if you can find them at reasonable price they're worth it imo.
Looking for a casual sneaker that’s also very comfortable. Thoughts on pic related?
>>18137806It’s two brand names I recognize
Is there a fix for this or is it over? The fake leather is starting to peel off. I was thinking of burning the area around it so it doesn't keep spreading. Samba Vegans, lasted almost 2 years.
>>18119919Why not just get one without the small swoosh?
>>18138280tiny bit of superglue, definitely don't put it close to fire
>>18138350i wore these most days for like 5 years until a year or so ago (and i have another pair somewhere too)its hard being so ahead... i was already on this vibe when you all still thought nikes were cool
>>18138388nobody knows what asics is in my country and i need some status symbol because im a loser when i see people wear these it's mostly some weeb goobers i thought about them honestly but idk
Looking for something with a decently wide sole but not clunky like skate shoes or with too many features like basketball/running shoes. I tried on some Sambas a size up, and my feet were still way too constricted, but I need a shoe like that to fit into my wardrobe. Right now, all I've got are asics that I wear to work. I need a better sneaker for casual wear
>>18138431eventually youll notice that the "cool" people are just doing what losers were doing 5 years agonot caring if people think youre a loser is in fact the ultimate coolpseud-cools dont have the guts to lead, only to follow. but as soon as theyre on something, its now lame. thus the cycle.
>>18138508i dont disagree because that's exactly what happened to NB as a brand but i'm still not sure
is there such a thing that works decently for like walking around the city with some support (i don't take public transportation, i walk) but without it being new balances or some other purpose built shoe?i wear vans currently and my feet hurt cause they have zero support. should i just buy stan smiths or sambas or something? would that be better?
>>18138508>eventually youll notice that the "cool" people are just doing what losers were doing 5 years agokek so true. I was wearing Adidas in 2016-2017 and my zoomer brother made fun of me for it, and now he's wearing them
>>18138516These are nice.>>18137916They're quite pricy though.
>>18138516i walk 2-5 miles almost every day and sometimes run in these, once i walked 20 miles and my feet only hurt a little so i give these high marks (asics gel kahana) ive even been complimented on them twice by strangers which was odd as i thought rheyre pretty normal (and only one of the ppl then tried to sell me weed)i have small and slightly wide feet like a duck, if you have long skinny elf feet your needs may different, tall outdoorsy guys seem to wear nothing but new balances (and merrills of course) yes i am an asics shill animus sana in corpore sana irrumator matribus et dico a lingua latina etiam

hey guys, i have fungus on my toenails (not gonna gross you out with a pic)What methods can i use to get rid of them?Im trying the following>air my feet as much as possible>avoid sweating>put my feet in hot water and salt and a little vinegar
>>18138916You need to buy antifungal nail coating, sand the surface of the toenails down and paint them with the antifungal nail coating and keep treating them for like 8 months or more, oh and use antifungal cream over the area around the nail daily. Either ther that or go to a doc and get systemic antifungal pills and take those for months.
>>18138916>>18138926>pillsCould kill it with a strict no-sugar acid-base-balance diet.
>>18139086happy to see a source for this other than "anon on 4chan said it'd work"
>>18130628I bought a cheap pair off Amazon and holy shit after a few weeks I fucking hate wearing anything else. I just hate how wide/goofy they look compared to "normal" shoes but the extra toe room is worth it. Currently trying to find some nicer looking ones that aren't so obviously wide looking.
>>18139300wrong mindsettrying to make weird thing look "normal" just lands you in uncanny valley because it will never be quite "normal" you need to go weirderthis really depressed girl i had a crush on in college always wore these, she was cute, one of those "always wearing a normal college hoodie but secretly bizarre" types...

whats the best-most durable sneaker out there for sports/running/football and walking overall? looking for a shoe that lasts and endures
I need a pair of Gazelles
>>18139407sneakers, like all things, are temporary, my son. when i was a young neckbeard, i too searched for "the perfect normal shoe." yet ere i came of age, i started to realize that options are fun. plus, alternating at least a few different types means youre protected from the gait/stress points any particular pair may have. lets say one directs more stress to your toes and the other to your heel - this could even be unconscious. if you only have one pair then that part will take all the brunt. if you have multiple, they will direct your weight differently, distributing the stress. this is the same logic as why you shouldnt eat the same food every day even if you "should be able to" according to the nutrition facts. you also shouldnt sleep on the same side every night. even my seventy year old mom has beater sneakers and a nice pair lol
>>18139344Did you get to smell her feet when she took those off?
>>18138388Wow, just WOW, you had a vision and you lived it, you were like the Elon Musk of wearing sneakers.

Thoughts on adidas campus 00s?
>>18139698my fat friend wore these in middle school so pretty dope
I have these Novestas on the way. It's my second pair of them. I really liked my first pair, but the sole wore out after 6 or 7 months of wearing them 2-3 times a week. These ones have a different sole material that I hope will be more durable

What the fuck boysI feel like this dad running shoe meme (Saucony, new balance) is some kind of psyop to make white men as unappealing to women as possible. It's like what middle aged science teachers and birdwatchers wear to complement their Tilley hats. Seriously. Have you guys EVER picked up a chick wearing these dorky running shoes or are you actively promoting your incel uncool "im geeky and awkward and listen to ambient shoegaze" cuck status?Where is your fucking testosterone?Picrel will get you sex.

>>18139968When they say “dad shoes are popular” it only applies to womenIt only looks good on guys if they go full streetwear and then wear some limited collab colorway or some shit
>>18139980>rick owens died in 2012 sirActually ricks are more popular than ever, somehowBut it’s more like they went from “extremely niche” “slightly less niche”. Not like anyone will recognize your 800 dollar ramones

>>18139998>sneakers are trash.>they no longer have any appeal especially if you're over the age of 30.>canvas sneakers are alright though.>i'm going to buy a pair of doeks or converse addicts The irony of this post
>>18140013*Not like anyone [besides other men] will [care in the least about] your 800 dollar [embarrassments]its so funny how 99% of you are solely trying to impress each other and literally no one else cares
>>18140015hes right with respect to puffy cheapo crap like >>18139838thats almost all of whats on the shelves in current year at most stores so its an entirely understandable perspectivethis is why people started wearing the shiny, silvery performance lines of asics/nike/new balance a few years ago, and then more recently salomon - the sneakers that are actually for running are the only ones that still have structure or make worth a damnthen once they got popular they started releasing cheapo nonperformance lines with the same look, just for you suckers!
>>18140019If you didnt care about impressing others, you’d be wearing yeezy slides and a tracksuit
>>18140035i wear nice things because i am self obsessed. i like to coordinate with my girlfriend but its not even for her, i wear a lot of things she hatesi like to inspire people to consider the world.outside the box. i do this by being visibly unboxed. its not a question of "impressing." i am the authority. when you look back on your life, will you be happy that you spent it going about in greige senility slippers? you have paralytic anxiety that prevents you from doing anything out of the ordinary for fear of social judgment.
These look amaze balls

Is it white shoe summer?
>>18140148fuck these 2013 "minimalist" Common Projects wannabe, live with your time, nigga.
>>18140015canvas sneakers aren't made of plastic and they last as long as you expect them to. and they look good while they fall apart.you buy some plastic coated suede bullshit from nike for $900 on fagx and let's just say there's a reason those sneakers spend their lives vacuum sealed on a shelf with their owner afraid to wear them and its not the perceived value its because an ant can fart in the general direction of that vinyl coated suede bullshit that's so commonplace on sneakers and its going to crease, crack, chip and look like dog ass. i'll never get over the fact that there's people afraid to crease their sneakers. fucking topjej. the only 'sneakers' i bought in my life that aged even remotely well were like $$$$ fashion designer runway stuff. ricks, yohji, hender scheme, stuff made with the materials quality and construction closer to an actual shoe than a sneaker or somewhere in between.those fuckers are expensive and i don't need to be flashy anymore with my lifestyle. don't notice me senpai!i'm not paying importer markup for my sneakers. if you knew what quality you can get for like $50 or $100 in japan you would piss yourself laughing that people still buy nikes.
with plastic jew shoes you lose
>>18140024its not just everything on store shelves. go on /r/sneakers or stockx sort by price high to low or even ebay recently sold and be honest with yourself about the quality of the bullshit people are paying for. you can get moonstars, doeks, slp's for 80 dollars from japan with maybe 20 dollars shipping.why the fUCK how big of a retard would you have to be to buy a pair of air jordans at retaillet alone you never get them for retail unless you bot their shitty appor buy the colorways no one wantsbut even if you could get travis scott fuck me in the anus daddy's for 180 dollarsits a bullshit value propositionyou're getting jewedim not a childi dont care about tik tok or travis scotts or any of that bullshiti just want good shoes
>>18140218I am over 30, I am gonna wear leather. Simple as.
i will, however, concede that running shoes are fine. nylon mesh and the better of those woven knit uppers they do a lot these days on running shoes are good stuff. you generally get what you pay for with those i think!
>>18140224sure but some plastic bullshit sprayed onto the most shit grade suede that ever existed does NOT quality as leather and it should be considered a war crime punishable by death to sell people sneakers made of that shit and call it leather. my common projects are pretty nice if i didn't feel like a dork in them.
>>18140224before bohemian faggots created "fashion" men wore athletic shoes for sports (canvas plimsolls) or leather SHOES (not sneakers) or boots.that's how i plan to dress as an adult. i'm done being a little boy in my gay ass air jordan 1's. i don't care how trendy they are.
>>18140227>call it leather.yeah, the laws about advertising artificial "leather" are fucked up. You can sell literal plastic and call it leather.

>>18140024>>18140223>noooo how dare they buy what they like>this impedes my ability to purchase thingsIt's a buyers market.Keep seething, cucks
What's a more adult or classier version of the vans slip-ons? What's a pair of sneakers that looks similar or same style as raf simons x adidas samba? pic related.
>>18140480i really hope youre joking because thats the opposite of what a buyers market isa buyers market is when there is a surplus of the good in question, so sellers have to discount and buyers get to take their pick of the offeringswhen there is a limited supply, sellers can charge high prices, and buyers have to pay more because there's nowhere else tp get the good in question. that is a sellers market. the latter scenario is the case here, although the cause is artificial supply constraint rather than anything natural - nike (and other makers) limit supply in order to create a sellers' market situation.
>>18140496It's a buyers market in terms of the variety of models out there, you're literally complaining there's too many models of a specific style, guess why there are so many? Because buyers like them.So you have lots of opportunity to buy whatever else is out there in the market, seeing as there is so little demand for it. Go ahead and buy your virgin moondrops, doeks, or whatever lame style you fags use instead of complaining about companies not making enough shoes for your cringe taste
>>18140503okay so you have literally no idea what the term "buyers market" means. youre one of those people who just hears things and repeats them like a parrot. now that we have that sorted, on to the subject. it's a plain fact that the silvery performance asics/nb lines became popular recently. i asserted that this is because those lines, being for actual running, retained make quality that had deteriorated to basically nothing in other lines. then i said that, now that those performance models have become popular, the companies in question would start releasing cheapified versions that looked visually similar, in order to profit from people who are now following this trend.i, not being a follower, would not be buying the cheapo kind, and the companies will still continue to make the more expensive, better made performance kind for people who actually use them. i will continue to pick up the occasional nice colorway of a performance model when it is on sale or when i find a good deal on ebay. i am not concerned that they will stop making what i like, because what i like has an actual functional purpose, and as a result has relatively stable demand in the long term. i am sighing that the people who follow trends will continue to get brutally goosed and never learn anything from it, which I will admit is not really an interesting or new thing to post about. literally none of what you said has any relation to what I said, so i assumed you were just talking about the guy whinging that he couldnt get his le special nikes.
>>18138280if it's on the inside of the shoe it doesn't matter
>>18137916have had ultraboosts in my rotation since 2016, they are fucking comfy. though they only sell the 1.0's now. I liked the 3.0 more

Should I get them? On sale right now and they probably won't make them anymore, so it's probably my last chance to get them in my size.
>>18140514I guess this is an agree to disagree moment. Some kind of je ne say quoi.
>>18140708sped tierhow do these read as anything but wall e fat people shoes to you? you understand thats what they are right? thats why they started putting giant squishy soles on everything -- people are so fucking fat now they need to walk on pillows just to get down the block.
>>18139348I could literally kill you with my eyes closed

>>18139720novesta uses a different vulcanization technique than most brands which directly fuse the shoe to the vulc sole. the result is they don't separate from the upper ever like most vulc shoes do. you know how they usually come apart where your toe bends? doesn't happen on novestas. the downside is that messy look to the rubber where it meets. and they use a pretty soft rubber so its not like they last very long anyways.>>18139714you'll never find a durable vulcanized sole shoe. the rubber has to be pretty soft for the vulcanization process to work.MiJ converse chuck taylors and converse addicts (run narrow) are the most durable vulc shoes in my experience. there's a few brands i haven't tried though. if you want a durable shoe you need a cupsole. something like this: https://www.endclothing.com/us/our-legacy-low-gravel-duster-1188gdb.html
speaking of novesta (same company) i am in love with these french military trainers but i just bought retro runners :(
the mij chucks are all over ebay for about 150 if you don't want to deal with proxy buying or get ripped off btw. pretty fair.chuck 70s purchased on sale (they always are somewhere) are undoubtedly the cheapest vulc sneaker to walk in per mile. you may need to replace them every few seasons but they are so cheap.
>>18141131the messy seam is ugly and looks shitty like target bobo vans
>>18141137vans split at the toe bend novestas don't. i'm not a huge fan of novestas or anything i'm just telling you why they are that way.

Whats the best GAT to get in 2024? Or should I just bite the bullet and get one of these zoomie running shoesHavent really posted since 2020 just been wearing salomons.
>>18141690Army surplusMargielasAdidas Gat or sambasThere really arent any other ones
>>18141690Best gat is going to be user specific but for me it's the Glock 20.

>>18141677why are you so afraid of male thighs? do they give you confusing feelings?
$400 CAD
>>18141695>>18141692Other anon was posting some company novesta, they have a GAT is it any good?
>>18141700people are so funny. they pay sucker prices for things that are just straight up uglified compare to the normal thing. its a clever if nefarious scheme. unconfident people think that the more expensive one must be better, plus they see a bunch of paid social media promotion making them think the more expensive one is better. then, once they take the bait, youve got em hook line and sinker - they cant admit to themselves they got goosed. their crippling confidence issues wont allow it. thus the "hype dad" and the shrimpy chinese guys in le omega hype gear. retarded-on-purpose sneakers are the new ferrari, which is sad, because more expensive cars at least go faster.
>>18141700these look like dogshit soccer shoes, why would you even wear this
>>18141749its just a nike shoxshox were first made in 2000, i wonder if nike had a patent on bouncy bompers that just expired...
>>18141717>>18141700i feel like i should be more clear on what my gripe with these isits that the weird loop strap on the tongue looks goofy as hell and the weird misshapen bompers look like dinosaur molars. and why are they so shiny? its just completely texturally unpleasant.
>>18141786yeah that ain't helping your case, brother. those nike shoes also look like dogshit, they're too similar to those shitty shoes that soccer players use
>>18141690>>18141692best cheap gats: universal surplus, reproduction of founddunno: adidas, novestalook good, feel bad to wear gats: deadstock surplus onesbest mid priced gats: svensson best gats: maison margiela
>why would i buy a reproduction of a shoe i can get a deadstock pair of originals for 80 dollars on ebaycommon gat question. nobody ever wanted those bummy ass surplus shoes. they sucked then and suck now. what made them cool was when maison margiela reimagined them and made them in actually good materials so they are wearable shoes. that's the version everyone wants not the original. the original is one of the worst versions of the gat. the replicas that improve it but maintain the silhouette is what you want.
>>18141848>>18141840>>18141704>>18141695>>18141692>>18141690the fact that literally none of you are posting pictures tells me youre shit for brainses & you just repeat what you saw other people say
>>18141815its not my case, im the other one dogging on them. im saying its worse cause theyre not even originally bad, theyre an uglified version of something from 20 years agoliterally one out of every two american italians that i knew wore these, i thought it was really random until i realized theyre basically sneakerheels with the bompers. a lot of sneakers now have that amount of height on a squishy sole but these were really tall for 00s shoes i think. that made it all make sense, because all the dion dimuccis were wearing lifts in their loafers too.
>>18141848I have a beat up pair of adidas BW Sport from when they dropped them, they have served me well but are too gnarly now. I want a pair that I will just wear once in a while and keep clean which is why I was asking about alternatives
>>18141840>best cheap gats: universal surplus, reproduction of found>dunno: adidas, novestaJust to add to this, I'm pretty sure the Reproduction of Found ones are made in the same factory as the Novesta ones, so as far as construction they're probably very close. It looks the Reproduction of Found ones use nicer leather though.
>>18141927yeah reproduction of found is designed by a japanese brand focused on military reproduction shoes who partner with novesta to manufacture them. different designer but made in the same place.
it might actually be a different factory than they make the mainline novesta shoes in though? that's the part i'm not sure about. but either way novesta owns and operates it.main reason i left novesta as dunno is i'm not sure how faithful it is to the actual gat silhouette i just haven't seen it in person and my brain can't really make that equation from photos. quality should be good, every mention i can find of them online is a happy owner -- of course relative to price!not that there's anything wrong with inaccurate gats, a lot of people love those beckett simonon ones.
converse japan jack purcells y/n?they're like the old ones before nike bought converse and ruined the jack purcell. not thinking about getting the shitty ones.
>>18141909>picturesLiterally all of them look the sameNo, wait, those collab adidas ones have some tiny red stitching
>>18142083then why the fuck are you fucks talking about them so god damn much? you could figure out which one is best by putting them all for spin cycles and seeing which lasts the longest.and i meant pictures of you wearing them. am i gonna win the thread by default?
is 30 dollar shipping normal for luxury shoes shipping ?
>>18142149across countries? maybeotherwise lol
>>18142153from italy to us
>>18142154well yeah sure then, what the fuck did you think
>>18142114i'm old. shoe falls apart when you walk a lot. buy new shoe. don't always buy same brand of shoe.
>>18142159i literally almost guarantee that you do not walk as much as i do. for one thing, if you have a normal job, its probably impossible. my asics last for years and years and when eventually they need to be retired i am well ready for a different pair. heck i wore saucony shadows to a standing all day job *with pivoting* and it still took 6 months to wear a hole in one sole.i suppose a possibility is that youre a plump fellow and that puts exponentially more wear on your shoes. i could see it working that way, like if youre pressing out from within as well as down because you have so much foot meat. god damn though. i guess at least ive learned about the current flag for swallowers. like i want to know that. youre like white collar chicks with the sambas, head empty.

>>18142178nah i'm probably a lot more fit than you. you spend your life indoors sheltered by the sounds of it. might i ask how old are you if you've never worn out a pair of shoes before?

>>18142264can you not read? i have worn out shoes, it just takes years of walking, it took me six months to wear out a pair of not-exactly-durability-focused saucony shadows working on my feet all day. thats not even really right now that i think about it because id worn them for walking for a few years prior. nice dodge into "fitter." i didn't say "fitter" because im sure you define "fitter" as some retarded gymfag shit. i can literally walk 20 miles in a day and do it again the next and my feet don't even hurt. (or maybe thats just how good asics are!) next youll ask me how much i bench. i dont know because i dont go into gyms to lift hunks of metal for no reason. i literally wish i wore out shoes faster, its sad to see it happen but i dont get to rotate nearly often enough.
