These are currently in my closet, collected over the past 12 years or so.

The Lowas, by the way, are a great tough shoe. I wore them for several winters in Iowa, mowed the yard with them on many times here in South Carolina, recently washed and refurbished them, and they still hold up. There's hardly any wear in the hard rubber sole. I think you could wear these in the jungles of Madagascar and they'd keep you in good stead. They're also very comfortable.

I wanted to start a shoe thread the last days two...
my favourites are grey chucks and grey/white puma suedes

Grey's a good shoe color.

yes I am totally into it. looks pretty good when they are dirty too. (which is important for me)

my chucks:

 

my pumas:

 

both are not new anymore, looks even better I think

In the early 90s I owned, no kidding, like 6 pairs of Converse. Black, red, blue, low and high tops. I wish I'd hung onto them.

By the way, if anybody ever finds a pair of these in size 11, please let me know. I am lusting for them but they appear to be out of production.

This is my collection of black & white shoes only:

 

I think I have an addiction.

[!@#$%!]

hm yeah, shoes. my favorite subject. look at me go.





out of here.

[gmku]

Ha ha! I know, I know, I'm such a girl. Well, the way I look at it, I have to wear something on my feet, so I might as well make it a halfway interesting pursuit.

Next topic: Socks and You!

yeah puma suedes are awesome in general.

You mean, you wear only black-and-white shoes, or this is the black-and-white part of your whole collection?

it's ok. we are all androgynous in one way or another. but my inner female perfers automatic weapons.

[gmku]

Oh, yes. Guns. I have to admit, there's something satisfying on a gut level about firing a pistol, like at a firing range. I relished my annual qualifying in the Air Force. At the same time, guns in general frighten me a bit. Enough to keep me from actually owning one.

And a good handgun is not nearly as affordable as a good pair of shoes. Or as safe.
