What kind of shoes do you lads wear.
I used to have army boots but there rubbish and some vans shoes, airwalk etc but i did find it doesn't take long until the sole gets a hole in it making your feet all wet.
Now i just have nike shoes and ones like that because they are good quality even though people think otherwise.

I wear Sandles... don't like Nike, because of their use of slave labor. :)

I was just at the Nike website, appears you can make your own shoes online well kind of.
You can put your own words on the shoes.
Get "smell this" on your shoes:emlaugh: .

Nike won't put just anything on them, though. A while ago some guy wanted a pair of Nikes made with "Sweatshop" on them (http://shey.net/niked.html) and Nike refused to make them.

Anyway, I have a lot of different shoes. Right now I'm wearing Bates "Special Ops" boots (http://www.botachtactical.com/batenspecops2.html), which are my current favorites.

Yes well of course they will have to put a few of there Nike logos on them as usual.

Vans all the way

My main "shoes" would be my flippers that I wear when I ride my "esky lid"

I'm currently wearing Globe Shoes.. they're quite comfortable.

Before that I had a few pairs of Colorado shoes... they don't seem to last very well though.

Before that... Nike and so on.

Ever noticed how every skate park has the word "vanz" or "vans" spray painted all over the place?.

I wear two pairs of shoes, mostly.

First are my beloved Saucony Hornets. Best shoe I've ever had.

And for special occasions, I have my 1969 Plaid Converse All-Stars :D

New Balance 804's/805's when I'm running
and Vans/Airwalks etc..... for everyday. :D

Does anyone wear leather shoes anymore? A Shoe Maker is almost non-existent nowadays.

I wear either New Balance -- because I walk at least 5 miles a day... They're the only shoes that will take the beatings I put them through..

Or my Birkenstocks. Its not a Vermont thing... Actually these are Birks, that are straight from Germany. So instead of paying $100 for them, I only paid $25 for them. I've had them for several years -- so they're all broken in and extra comfy! :)

Depends on what I am wearing I guess. If I'm wearing shorts, I usually wear my sandals, or other times my nice tennis shoes that are uncomfortable. If I'm jeans I wear my crappy adidas that really old, but comfortable. And if I'm wearing like cargo pants or something I'll wear my doc martins

Here's a story for you's lads.
i live next door to a dentist and there's this guy who works there and the guy doesn't wear shoes he walks in his feet.
Seriously the ground was covered with ice and snow and me and my mum saw the guy and we couldn't stop laughing..
Weirdo like.

I prefer open toe sandals (More info than you asked for.... I'm a sucker for putting decorative designs on my toe nails.), when sandals wont work it's g'ol fashioned Reebok & Nike for me...

Truth be told... I miss the 80's style hightops :bawling:

If I had to wear shoes, I'd find a new career!

I sometimes wear socks if it's a little nippy and my feet get cold.

Hrmm, this is a very old thread.

I've now got new shoes, "Spectre" from dcshoecousa (http://www.dcshoecousa) - this is what they look like: http://www.shaunewing.com/miscimages/shoes.jpg

They're not as comfortable as Globes though (what I had last time), so I'll get Globes again next.
