    Your shoes

    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.

    Nike won't put just anything on them, though. A while ago some guy wanted a pair of Nikes made with "Sweatshop" on them and Nike refused to make them.

    Anyway, I have a lot of different shoes. Right now I'm wearing Bates "Special Ops" boots, which are my current favorites.

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

    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

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

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