Vincent Vega Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 What sort of sneakers do you guys like?Personally I've come to like only Vans Authentics or Converse Chuck Taylor Sneakers....Big Nike sneakers are good for special occasions, like weddings, but they otherwise seem gaudy, too big. But I do wear them from time to time and occasionally I wear moccasin style sneakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I like converse and plain vans. I used to go a bit wild with "runners' as we call them here. I'm too old now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Big fan of the Onitsuka Tiger ones - but I've had DCs, Converse Hi-Tops, and normally just generic adidas ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Air 6.0 Mogan. Jordan Air and 1 Flight. All mid. Have 40+ pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBear Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've got these:I dunno. Vans and Converse and shoes like these seem to be about looks only. If I'm buying a pair of sneakers then I want something that I can do more in other than just walk around the mall. People will say that athletic shoes don't look as good with jeans, but I say if you get ones in brown like the above they look great.

Ghostie Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Comfort first, so for me any Nike with full length Zoom Air. Easy to find in the 90's, but not so much now. Usually end up with turf shoes, gawdiness be damned. Also a fan of the old school Air Trainers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I love Converse. They have a nice low profile and they're not bulky, kinda like you're hardly wearing a shoe. Nothing I'd work in, but if I'm going anywhere I can beat a pair of 'em. Otherwise I just wear cheapo Walmart shoes that I can beat up and generally not care about.

FatFreddysCat Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I wear whatever's on sale. Right now I'm wearing a pair of beat-to-hell New Balance sneaks that I've had for over a year and which only cost me fifteen bucks. They're starting to look really awful now though so I guess it's time to look for a new pair. Edited July 7, 2012 by FatFreddysCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBear Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I believe New Balance is still made in the USA. I don't buy them for that reason, but it's nice that they are. I like that their shoes aren't too soft and mushy, and feel durable and well made. And they have always been super comfy.

Estranged Reality Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I have Adidas Stan Smith low tops like these but without the green:And Penguin low tops that are sort of like these:those penguins are great man.i almost bought a pair of penguins at marshall's last month but unfortunately i'm a size 12, and either it's the most popular shoe size or it's the most uncommon shoe size because they never have any left! they were similar to those and i still need another pair to wear with casual/dressy shorts and shirts, as right now i just have the gym shoes and my boat shoes.

Randy Lahey Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I've bought dress shoes before that were a bit too big because they looked cool. Edited July 7, 2012 by Randy Lahey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've bought dress shoes before that were a bit too big because they looked cool.too big i can do and have done before, but usually at those discount stores they'll have plenty of 8 - 10 or 11 sizes and maybe a couple 13s but rarely any 12s. so there's been a couple times where i just went for the extra size up.

estranged 16 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 i wore some vans as a kid but generally once i was into my teens i stopped wearing sneakers altogether - frankly i really hate the fratboy type look, i'd rather wear something nicer (been rockin' the boat shoes and doc martens lately, but my standby for the past few years were my clarks). From my experiences in college, I'm pretty sure boat shoes scream "frat boy" Although I do love boat shoes, so there's nothing wrong with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can really wear them casually and appear... serious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
