I need some new shoes.

[NAD]

I have a 5 year old pair of Doc Martens and a 2 year old pair of New Balance running shoes which are starting to make funny noises as I walk. I need some new god damn shoes. Choose them for me.

*Cue the rest of the world, alternatively most of the RC posters, saying "dude i only buy shoes every fifth year and i always buy black boots, gay homo" *

Wait, you're actually asking a metal board about menswear fashion?!?

How desperate are you?

 

[Crimson Death]

I vote for the wooden yellow ones!

 

[lizard]

I buy black boots almost exclusively
there is a practical side tho...some of my work takes me into the warehouse where there are large heavy things intent on falling on my feet.

I buy shoes when the ones I'm wearing start to give up on me, and then I always (quite naturally) choose shoes from the viewpoint of comfort and practicallity. Not by looks which I assume is what you mostly pay for with shoes such as the ones you posted (and besides most of them look silly)

@Emily:

@Henrik: shoes like that are under consideration (tho not as flashy), I've owned many a Vans and Airwalk in the past, how do DC and DVS compare?

 

[Demilich]

People always tell me to buy new shoes because mine are falling apart, but they're damn comfortable, and I consider the gaping holes in the front as added ventilation!

 

[lizard]

I have a pair of these Nunn Bush shoes....damn comfortable.

 

[Mormagil]

One of my shoes has a huge hole in the bottom and the other has some kind of bladder that squeezes out air with every step and makes me sound asthmatic. So I suppose I need new shoes too.

dude i only buy shoes every fifth year and i always buy black boots, gay homo
well kinda true except for the calling you a gay homo part...actually not true, when the weather's nice i wear sandals a lot, living in california half the year. too bad it's raining...in california.....in mid-may. wtf. out come the boots.

I wear a pair of black steel-toe Dr. Martin boots. They will probably last for my entire life, so they were worth every single penny. Complete quality.

Best. Footwear. Ever.

 

[MFJ]

They are! Aren't most shoes stinky when you wear them for 15 hours a day, years on end?

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

docs indeed rule. i've had these for 4 years now and don't plan on replacing them EVER.
they only get more comfortable over time

even when practically everything in my old nasty house molded, including my boots, i didn't give up on em. *tear*

plus i hate breaking in new shoes.

The DC shoes I currently have are amongst the best pairs of shoes I've ever owned. Extremely comfortable (most skating shoes are). You can't go wrong with DC.

The shoes u posted r gay!

Surely not as gay as my spring/summer shoes?

My Docs aren't stinkin! They are beat to shit and have been with me for nearly every mountain/stream/desert excursion over the past 5 years, and I still use them for "dress" shoes if I just clean them up a little bit.

That's why even though the first choice are $115, they'd be worth it. Docs are just plain tough shoes.

Quoted for 100% truth. I considered wearing these boots to prom (after an obviously needed polishing) but I just decided to wear some of my brother's old shoes (also Docs).
