Of course, there are practical reasons for being obsessed about footwear. If I'm going to track down a bomb maker in Madagascar, for example, I need shoes that are up to the job.

I loved these, even patched them when they fell apart.

These are the Dr. Martins I have now.

trying to find these

I bought a few pairs of $20-$30 shoes a few months ago, and these were by far my favorite. Light as a feather. It seriously feels like I'm not wearing shoes, and they're more durable than the others.

I also got shoes like these:

but they have black and purple guitars on them instead of Pacman ghosts.

Is there no winter in Germany????

My toes got really fucked up from wearing Chucks in the winter, that's pretty much why I wear boots now.

They're good for every season (I put liners in for the winter) and your feet don't ever get wet.

My current Chucks. They now have a bit of green tape over the hole to keep puddle water out. I also have a green pair with green laces, low-top black kept stock and a pair of the Target one stars.

sure it gets down to -20°C (dunno how much is that in fahrenheit) sometime even lower, which is really really cold. but two pair of thick socks ever worked for me. if not I do that with my pumas

never wear boots

Sonic Youth 37 · 08.25.2008, 02:47 PM

Even in the cold here, (like 32F (0C) and below) I wear two pairs of socks with the Chucks. My toes are completely frozen from late September until April. I've learned to live with it.

Crazy person.

i wear chucks in wintertime too, but it doesn't get that cold here. the only boots i have and still like, can only be worn with a skirt or dress (unless you tuck your pants in them and i'll never do that) so when its really cold id rather wear a dress, leggings, warm socks and boots.

i've been wearing my black chucks for two weeks now, they're the best i have for standing all day like i do these days.
