What are you looking for?
A dimmer guy I worked with made fun of me for wearing Golas because they only had 2 strips on them so he thought they were ripoff adidas.

>>18497151
Soludos aren't real espadrilles, they're made in china and have trash quality jute with a 200% markup. They do look cool though and have good marketing so they trick people like (You)

>>18497136

>>18497787
I'm starting to really hate poor people like you.

>>18497787
Skolyx also makes good one for 160€, but "reproduction of found" look more accurate ngl.
It's also $100 more expensive, 250 is the price of genuine Margielas back in the days.

Good gym/indoor shoes, works well for stuff like weightlifting, gymnastics, martial arts. Bad for daily use, wouldn't want to wear these to go outside walking all day, they have very little support. Had such a terrible experience ordering from them online that I ended up getting my pair for free (took months to process my order and ended up sending me only one of the two pairs I ordered). YMMV on that though

Never owned loafers but just turned 30 so now's the time. Where do I start? Clarks?

how are these?

bitches luv me designers velcro-Retardshoes

Got some Nike air max 90s because they looked cool, but after almost two days of wear they were so uncomfortable and my feet were straight up in pain
Exchanged them for some air max 1s which definitely look worse but are a lot more comfortable

>>18497404
you got a better brand i should look at instead?

Lately I’ve been wearing Chucks but the older I get the more I think all sneakers are ugly.

Why is Asics being so jewish with the Superblast?

Diegos

>>18500121
Is that Gorilla Nest?

Where do I even begin with getting shoes that aren't completely casual? I've worn crocs, sandals, converse, mostly sneakers all my life, but now want to try something a bit more fancy. What can I get whilst still being a bit more on the casual side?

>>18497132 (OP)
Bought some Larson weejuns on sale & some new balance tennis shoes because I'm learning to play tennis.
What kind of shoe recs are you looking for?

>>18503655
Any sort of derbies with a rounded toe minimal leather sneaker is always a good place to start. Both these styles can work in many different settings from casual outings to working in an office (depending on your line of work).

What's the most versatile footwear you've ever owned?

>>18509203
Versatility is a function of your wardrobe. If you wear modern sporty stuff and retro sporty stuff and heritage military pieces, then for you a retro sneaker could be versatile.
If you wear ocbds and workwear but also suits maybe loafers are super versatile for you.

For my wardrobe, Reebok Club Cs and Sambas are the most versatile shoes I have.

I'm actually thinking about getting a pair of these. someone shame me into not please.

>>18509203
Common projects achilles low of course but I prefer tournament lows now since they have an elastic band under the tongue like margiela gats so you can just slip them on

>>18509292
yeezy brogues.

>>18508363
man those are dope

>>18508599
What the hell is the appeal of white sneakers? Those look disgusting.

If you want to wear GATs, just wear surplus GATs.

Is Beckett Simonon still effay approved in 2025

>>18513415
spend a little more for the Allen Edmons you actually want, anon.

>>18513417
I'm just replacing my GAT clones I bought from them in 2019. They've lasted this long and I'm rough on shoes, just want to make sure there hasn't been a significant drop in quality since.

Plus they have a 2 for $209 deal going on right now and that's a steal

These need replacement this winter since the broken zippers keeps cutting my nails. Seems like Ecco no longer makes this style of sneaker boots with zippers.

Really liked these
>quick and easy to get on and off
>durable aside from the zipper
>comfortable once broken in
>easy to drive in
> keeps the snow out while I'm digging out my car

I've found alternatives from The Last Conspiracy that look like they have a sturdy zipper, but they're a bit clownish and a bit pricey for something I might be reluctant to wear in public.

Cheap throwaway junk shoes made with bonded “””leather”””. They will inevitably peel and look terrible. Learn how to spot the difference between bonded and real leather.

Me? I'm getting a fresh pair of '74s

>>18498043

It's a shoe.
>>18509292
People like the leather versions since they work with a suit but are comfortable to walk around and stand in for hours. The knit ones look like a running shoe that's aping formality. The tuxedo t shirt of shoes.

>>18514002
99x look much better

I'm planning on getting a pair of these Solovair Gibsons instead of white sneakers. I'm mainly going to wear them when I'm going out, wearing dark denim/leather jacket.

>>18514239
This, I bought myself a pair of 992s when my 574s wore out after about at year of use.

>>18513924
They've lasted about 6 years now, and the zipper was the weak point. I think it's actual nunbuck.

Any recommended European brands of canvas sneakers? Looking to spend max 150 euro.

>>18514002

Goddamnit. 574s it is I guess

This pair rubber shoes for an equivalent of USD2

It's my go to shoes for going to waterfall or trekking in muddy roads

Kek do you live in SEA jungle anon?

I copped these early last week and been rocking them since.

>>18514806
why

>>18514808
Because I like wearing stylish shoes that are well made and that look good on me.

>>18514809
>stylish shoes that are well made
so why did you buy those instead?

>>18514812
because they're stylish and well made and thoughtfully designed.

Looking for a pair of comfortable yet /fa/ sneakers for walking.

I mostly want them for work since I am on my feet all day walking around. I will use it for walking/jogging on occasion too

I have a pair of new balance 574 legacy(the one with the big midsole) but they are falling apart.

Wanted to know what other options I have.

>>18514558
>>18514430
>>18514002
Which version? There are so many
And which colorway?

What's the hype with the Avia 5000 from Walmart?

Has anyone tried them?

What do you guys think to Ralph Lauren shoes? I like the look of these but I want to get something that's decent quality. Are there any better brands at a similar price (~£200)?

what does the price difference affect when buying dress shoes?
I've seen them ranging from 50$ (local currency) to 100$ and 200$+. Call me uncultured but I can't see the visual differences between them.

>>18515198
The difference is in construction, quality of materials and fit of the last.
$50-150 is likely glued on soles and fake leather, don't be surprised if they start to fall apart within a year.
+$250 is alright, but probably made in bigger factories in cheaper countries like Portugal, still have some compromises in construction and material.

For $4-700 you get a high quality shoe if you buy from an actual shoe company. This is best value for money if you want a great shoe.
After that its diminishing returns, but they'll have more hands on work on the finishing and attention to details.

>>18515232
You can get a great shoe under 300

:)

>>18515622
That looks lovely, and versatile

I've found AM90 Flyknit 2.0 to be the ideal shoe for warm weather, is there anything else like them or should I just buy a different colorway?

>>18514880
Anything traditionally known for shoe or boot making.
