Wife caved in and I get to wear my Asics pre-birthday. They're comfortable and light as fuck. First time wearing sneakers for non-athletic use since college!

If you don't wear sneakers, please say you aren't one of them flip flop 24/7 dudes.

I haven't bought myself shoes in a while, but I have bought these for my daughter:







She is obsessed with shoes.

Fuck yes I am. I hate socks and mostly hate shoes (except for my new ones). I live on the coast and its hot as fuck down here. So yes...Reefs/Olukai 24/7.

hahaha i don't know! i can't explain it.


i did just order these to try on.. hoping they'll replace my worn out Toms for my summer slip-ons.

4/22/2015 2:49:09 PM

got a few more pairs of vans slip ons:





some vans ludlows in black:



Also got some new boots but I can't find them anywhere online to post a picture. Brown leather cap toe boots with some felt detailing. Wanted a pair that I could wear casually or to work and these fit the bill.

not that I was dying for a pair of Frye boots or anything...

but they were $89....so how could I not

9/10/2015 3:22:16 PM

trying to find some good black lace-up boots that I like. But I don't want to spend too much as I would probably only wear them with black jeans or one of my black or really dark great pairs of jeans now and then. I don't wear black leather hardly at all.

I did find a picture of the other leather boots I got recently. I've received several compliments on them in person so far which has been nice

Got a new pair from Aldo last week. Went to Southpoint mall store trying to change but kept it eventually.

I own these shoes as well. I also find them comfortable and light as fuck.

I actually kinda hate all my new balance sneakers now.

Oh my god those are glorious.

Picked these up at Frye over the weekend. Been eyeing them for a while and finally pulled the trigger.

is the distressing already on the boot? isn't that kind of like paying for ripped jeans?

3/19/2018 11:18:56 AM

yeah, the distressing is already on the boot when you get their stonewash finish. I can't do shinier black leather boots. Even a burnished finish is often too much for me and just doesn't look right to me until they are very broken in and somewhat distressed. Which, for a nicer pair of boots, just takes too long for me. For leathers with brown/tan/cognac etc., I don't have that problem. I own lots (read: way too many) pairs of brown boots in various finishes. Can't get enough of them. I rarely find black boots I like and these immediately caught my eye a while back and fit perfectly.

I'd say leather is different than jeans. I prefer black leather very well-worn. But they're still going to hold up. It's not like they have holes in them - it's just surface distressed. This just gets me to that point without having to wear them for a year before I like them.

Other than a black leather jacket, I tend to stay away from black leathers period. Love it on other people but think it looks bad on me /shrug I havent had a pair of black leather dress shoes that weren't patent (for tux wear) in several years now. And I've returned the last few black boots I've bought because I just haven't been into them.

LMAO you bought used boots

3/19/2018 12:50:42 PM

i bought stonewashed leather boots with a distressed toe box. Not including my steel toes for construction site visits, I have like 8 other pairs of brown leather boots and one pair of black that I've worn to shreds and is about ready to be retired. Wanted another black pair that I don't have to take a year of wear to naturally distress back to where my last pair was.

kick rocks. no, literally....kick rocks. that'll distress the toe box.

3/19/2018 2:39:59 PM

of course This finish wasn't any more than the same boot in the other finishes (suede, burnished, etc.)

3/19/2018 2:56:19 PM

Those will pair well with your distressed sweatshirt.

3/19/2018 3:22:23 PM

my distressed sweatshirt is more of a millennial pink

3/19/2018 3:27:59 PM

picked up some of these to wear while doing yard work, etc

10/26/2021 2:32:29 PM
